My journey to a 524 was complicated, with many twists and turns in the road as I learned the study strategy that worked best for me. After my own experience, I developed my tutoring strategy so that others might reach (or exceed!) their target score with a plan tailored to their learning preferences and habits. Navigating the many MCAT resources out there is complicated to say the least, and it is my hope that I can help you tailor your study strategy to maximize the impact of your efforts.
