MCAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

I’m the founder of IvyTutoring, a Harvard University graduate, and a White Coat Award recipient. I’ve helped thousands of students succeed on high-stakes exams, including the MCAT, across several thousand hours of direct instruction, curriculum design, and large-scale educational content. My MCAT coaching focuses on first-principles reasoning, passage strategy, and test-maker psychology—not brute memorization. I specialize in helping students translate content knowledge into points by recognizing patterns, avoiding common traps, and executing efficiently under time pressure. This approach is especially effective for students plateaued in the mid-range who need structural changes rather than “more studying.” I’ve built systems at scale through IvyTutoring, teaching students how to think the way the MCAT is written rather than chasing endless resources. The result is faster score movement with less wasted effort. If you want MCAT coaching from someone who has taught at volume, understands where students systematically lose points, and prioritizes strategy over noise, this is a strong fit.

I received a 522 on the MCAT (>99th percentile) and am a current medical student at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. I also worked in research and healthcare consulting, and am the Co-Founder and CEO of an orthopedic device startup. I love to work with students to find out what subject area strengths and weaknesses they have, set up study plans to address these weaknesses, and also help them strategize ways to improve their scores on the MCAT. I also enjoy giving test taking strategies to ensure your MCAT score is everything you dreamed!

As a current medical student at Mayo Clinic, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to MCAT preparation as well as required pre-med courses. While completing my MD, I also work as an instructor for Kaplan's MCAT prep courses and as a tutor/TA for Mayo's College of Medicine and Science. My background in psychology and extensive work in behavioral health uniquely positions me to address the psychological and emotional challenges that often accompany MCAT study and the stressful, competitive nature of the pre-med path. With years of experience as a natural sciences tutor, I have successfully helped students master the complex scientific concepts essential for the MCAT and their undergraduate courses. Together, we can create a personalized study plan that maximizes your strengths and addresses your specific needs. Let's work together to achieve your medical school dreams!

Welcome to my profile! I’m a current student at the University of Washington and a Rhodes Scholar-elect, and I bring a fresh, highly practical perspective on what it takes to do well on the MCAT. I scored a 526, and I’ve coached students through the full prep process, from building a realistic schedule to tightening test-day strategy and improving passage-based reasoning. My approach is personalized to your starting point. We will identify your strengths and weak spots, build a study plan you can actually sustain, and focus on the habits that translate into points. That includes targeted practice, a clear review system so mistakes do not repeat, and section-specific strategy for CARS and the science passages. Whether you are aiming for a top score or you just need structure and accountability, I’m here to support you step by step. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. I’m happy to discuss financial assistance options.

Welcome to my profile! As a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and a graduate of Yale University School of Medicine, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to MCAT coaching (while I took the MCAT before it changed, I have tutored hundreds of students in the new MCAT and even have a free youtube series on unique MCAT questions that I personally made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz_gs77pOyE&list=PLoRUsKSPCHAYASAUOQcFrlpl5c55K1bcn). With a strong academic background, including an MBA from Yale School of Management and a BA with Highest Distinction from UC Berkeley, I understand the rigorous demands of medical school admissions. I have successfully coached numerous students, helping them improve their MCAT scores and secure spots at top medical schools. My approach is tailored to each individual's needs, focusing on both content mastery and test-taking strategies.

Hey! With a rich academic background from Harvard University and the University of Oxford, I bring a unique perspective to MCAT preparation. As a US Rhodes Scholar and a researcher in infectious diseases, I understand the rigorous demands of medical education and the importance of a strong foundation in the sciences. My experience as a guest epidemiology lecturer in Africa and director of various education initiatives globally has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging. I am passionate about helping aspiring medical students excel in their MCATs and achieve their dreams of entering top medical schools. Let's work together to create a personalized study plan that maximizes your strengths and addresses your challenges. Excited to work with you!

Maya’s MCAT journey is a testament to persistence, adaptability, and disciplined growth. After taking the exam three times, she experienced the discouragement of scoring lower on her second attempt. But instead of giving up, Maya chose to completely revamp her study strategy. In just six weeks, she achieved a remarkable 13-point score increase: culminating in a total improvement of 17 points from her initial diagnostic. This experience shaped her tutoring philosophy: that with the right mindset, strategy, and support, meaningful progress is always possible. With over seven years of experience tutoring science subjects, Maya brings both depth of knowledge and a passion for teaching to her role as an MCAT tutor. She understands the importance of individualized guidance and meets each student where they are. Whether helping a student overcome plateaus or fine-tuning section-specific strategies, Maya takes pride in crafting personalized study plans that promote confidence and results. One of her most rewarding success stories was helping a student increase their CARS score by five points through targeted practice and mindset coaching. Maya earned her Bachelor’s degree in Medicine, Health and Society from Vanderbilt University and later completed a Master of Medical Science at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. She has also been accepted to multiple medical schools and will start in the fall of 2026. Her strong academic background, combined with her personal experience overcoming MCAT challenges, allows her to guide students with both empathy and expertise. She is committed to helping each student unlock their full potential and approach the MCAT with confidence.

Over the last five years, I've developed a toolkit to fundamentally change the way many students approach the MCAT. A reasoning test first and foremost, I've built on my foundational teaching skills to help students not only meet their goals, but often exceed them. Going through the premed process can be arduous and anxiety-provoking, and preparing for a high-stakes examination like the MCAT is no exception. I've honed in on skills fostered through years of working as a mentor and teacher with the CURB Peer Mentorship Program, teaching in local K-12 high schools in Ithaca through 21st Century & REACH and conducting in-person and online MCAT tutoring with both Yale and Cornell undergrads. Now, having adapted a course full of materials, strategies, and resources to guide my students, I'm excited to use Leland's platform to share my insights and strategies to the next generation of future physicians. I scored in the 99th percentile in the MCAT, but what sets me apart is my motivation to adapt and invest in the needs of every one of my students. From personalized Anki decks for each AAMC content outline, to unique, integrative protocols to optimize students’ approaches to each MCAT section, I strive to go above and beyond as a resource for my students. The students I’ve worked with over the years, regardless of their starting point and timeline, have gone on to score in the 90th percentile and above on average. Be it acing your first attempt, trying to show improvement on a subsequent attempt, or even after your MCAT to garner application process advice, know that I’m prepared for, and committed to, helping you reach your goals.
