“A couple months before my MCAT test date, I was continually scoring between a 505 and a 508 on practice tests even though I felt like I was spending a lot of time studying. I realized that I needed help structuring and prioritizing my studying, and luckily I came across MCAT Self Prep and Andrew’s tutoring. Within the first 10 minutes of our first session, Andrew restructured my study plan and gave me tangible tips for how to maximize my productivity. He was also very honest with me about the hard work it would take to improve my score, which was helpful. Our tutoring sessions were always extremely efficient due to Andrew’s preparation, and his ability to clarify large misconceptions about the material was really impactful. With his help and the MCAT Self Prep resources, I brought my score up to a 521 (99th percentile) on my final AAMC practice exam within a month and a half!“

“Andrew provided an affordable option for the the exact MCAT tutoring I needed. He guided me in finding the best study resources, staying accountable, and answering my questions as they came up. He is very personable, and I would recommend him to any of my friends who want to save a lot of money.”

David did just a Single Tutoring Session with Andrew before he started studying for the MCAT in order to make a personalized and effective study plan. He followed the study plan diligently and ended up scoring a 524 (100th percentile) on test day! He is currently receiving attention from top medical schools such as Stanford and Harvard. He feels that his initial session with Andrew had a huge impact on his success:

When I first started thinking about taking the MCAT and applying to medical school, Andrew was the first person I talked to for advice. He was patient, friendly, and very willing to help. What I liked most was that Andrew gave me down-to-earth, practical advice. He told me very honestly about his process studying for the MCAT as well as which classes and practice materials he found the most helpful. Hearing Andrew’s experience helped me believe that I could also do well on the MCAT through my own study without having to pay thousands of dollars for a prep course. Andrew helped me set up a basic study plan, and I stuck to it in the following months. It took discipline, but when I finally got my scores back I was excited to see I had scored in the 100th percentile. So, I can now say with confidence that preparing on your own for the MCAT is not only possible, but preferable to spending so much money on other test prep companies. I can also say that I know Andrew’s desire to help is genuine. I could tell he wanted me to succeed and he cared about me as a person, not just a customer. In short, I’m a big supporter of MCAT Self Prep!”

“Andrew is an incredible tutor! I am extremely pleased with my MCAT prep experience due to the help he offered me. Personally, I found the most stressful thing about preparing for the MCAT was simply not knowing where to begin. I wasn’t sure the best way to make a plan or how I could most effectively track my progress. Andrew removed all of those worries for me. He set me on a path that required diligence and effort but left me feeling comfortable on test day. He is extremely personable and really cares about addressing your individual worries and concerns. I found that really helpful as it removed any doubts I had about the test and replaced them with confidence. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to boost their scores on the MCAT!” Click here to watch Garrett open his MCAT score results!

“Tutoring with Andrew was such a great experience! I enjoyed the flexibility of being able to meet online, and I also enjoyed the fact that I was able to cover so much material during each session. Andrew’s clarity, patience, and expertise with MCAT content provided me with the skills and confidence I needed to improve my score by 12 points during my preparation period. He was always willing to help and encourage me along the way. I am SO happy and grateful that I came across MCAT Self Prep. Thank you very much, Andrew!”

“This has been my first time using an online tutoring service and I am pleased with the experience. I was a bit nervous for my first session, but my tutor, Andrew, is very friendly and easy to talk to. Online tools such as the MCAT Self Prep Study Portal, video calls and the whiteboard make it seem like we are meeting in person. Instead of just jumping into my questions on the Study Portal, at the beginning of each tutor session Andrew asks me how my studying is going, making sure my preparation for the MCAT is line with my needs. Prior to my scheduled tutor session, my questions on the Study Portal have been answered often with links to supplemental information. This shows me that Andrew takes his time and may even go out of his way to help me understand concepts in the best way possible. I always leave a tutoring session knowing more and feeling confident!”

Praheetha has really enjoyed tutoring with Andrew, seeing major improvements in the sections that have been the most difficult for her. Here is what she has to say about her experience:

“When I got my first MCAT score back, I was very disappointed because not only was the score not as high as I would have liked but I wasn’t sure I how I could improve. Then I discovered MCAT Self Prep and got Andrew as a tutor, and it was the best decision I could have made to improve my score! Andrew is an awesome instructor because he doesn’t just explain the concepts but helps you figure them out on your own, so it helps reinforce what I am learning. Most importantly he is very encouraging, and I always feel like I have someone cheering in my corner. Another thing that I like about MCAT Self Prep is that it is easy to schedule a tutoring session and if you need a particular time the tutors are more than happy to work with you. Andrew helped me plan an entire study schedule based on my needs and other activities, which made the study process less overwhelming. So far, I have noticed that my score has jumped up 4 points in each of my “problem” sections and overall, I feel a lot more confident about taking my next test. If anyone is planning on taking the MCAT, I recommend using MCAT Self Prep; it has awesome resources and tutors who go above and beyond for you.”

“I started studying with Andrew 5 weeks before my test day because I felt like I was not improving in my studying on my own. Andrew helped me to focus my studying and helped me to plan mini-exams to test myself the last couple weeks before my MCAT. He was very helpful in answering my questions and making me feel confident. He explained things very clearly and also gave me some great test-taking tips specific to the MCAT. I would highly recommend Andrew over ANY prep course – you will get personalized assistance so that you don’t need to waste time on things that you already know and someone that really wants to see you do your best.”

“Working with Andrew was one of the best decisions I have made during my MCAT preparation. Not only was Andrew very helpful during our tutoring sessions together, but he was also easily accessible when I had questions regarding my study plan and other aspects of my preparation. With Andrew’s help I was able to learn the ins and outs of how to approach the CARS and what I needed to do to drastically improve my score. Andrew made tutoring sessions very comfortable and personal. If I uploaded information into my study portal that I needed help with, I knew that Andrew would work diligently to prepare for our session together the next day. Because of this, I had extreme confidence as I sat down to take the MCAT. I recommend MCAT Self Prep over any other prep company, hands down.”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew. During our session, Andrew provided me with a personalized month-to-month study plan to maximize my study time. He is very knowledgeable and prepared himself well before the session to address my questions. He also provided thorough explanations to all of my questions. Overall, I highly recommend Andrew as a tutor!”

“Preparing for the MCAT can be both time consuming and expensive, so I was really excited when I heard about the MCAT Self Prep Tutoring Program. Andrew was very patient and flexible – which is so valuable for the busy college student. I had been studying on my own, so it really helped to have an expert to guide me in the crucial last weeks before the test. At the same time, I also had the independence to make my own schedule to fit my current needs (i.e. summer work, etc.). Many thanks to Andrew for helping me stay positive throughout the study process!”

“MCAT Self Prep is the real deal. Like most premeds, for me the MCAT has been one of my largest obstacles to tackle. In December of 2017, I began my MCAT studying by taking a full length AAMC practice exam, and after scoring a 487 on it, I knew I needed to get some sort of system to help me learn how to take the test and not be overwhelmed by the amount of content and the length of test. After searching the web for a course that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, I found MCAT Self Prep. The feeling was similar to that of finding an oasis in the desert, although I have never had such an experience I imagine it to be similar… The content modules cover everything you need to know. I took the beloved MCAT on June 17th and walked out telling my fiancé, that it was actually kind of fun! I didn’t do as well as I had hoped to on the first round, but scoring a 502 was a nice 15 point jump from my initial AAMC practice exam! This success was due to nothing less than God, MCAT Self Prep, and a lot of hard work. Andrew is a kind light-hearted guy, he makes tutoring not feel like a chore; he becomes your friend during the tutoring sessions, and his skills are beyond excellent. MCAT Self Prep is the way to go!!!”

“Working with Andrew has been one of the most important parts of my MCAT preparation. He has done an amazing job of guiding me to resources, helping me plan and organize my studies, and focus on the most important aspects. Andrew has been so positive and enthusiastic, and I would definitely recommend him as a tutor.”

“Studying with Andrew for two months, my score improved by 8 points. He is really friendly and the structure of the tutoring is very efficient. What I like the most about his tutoring is that he knows what is relevant to the actual MCAT and what is not. He also shares his study techniques for each section, which work well! I strongly recommend to study with him if you want to study efficiently within a limited time!”

“Before meeting Andrew, I spent an entire summer studying on a daily basis following Kaplan’s approach only to end up with the same score on my MCAT as I had on my diagnostic. As soon as I started working with Andrew, I saw my score increase. Andrew’s approach to studying has been the most beneficial, in my opinion. He has guided me to the perfect mix of content and practice, which I feel has made all the difference. He has helped me focus my attention on the areas that I can improve in, showed me what resources I should be using, and provided tips that I can use to tackle some of my biggest weaknesses. Andrew also shares his own exam techniques, such as how to approach each type of passage which is really helpful. He is also extremely charismatic and optimistic, which I feel every student studying for the MCAT needs. He was always there to reassure me and adjust my study plan according to my current scores. I would definitely recommend MCAT Self Prep and Andrew to any friend!”

“The biggest reason why I like working with Andrew over other tutors is that you get to put any question you may have into a google doc with him and before your session with him starts he’ll already know your question, what you’re having trouble with, and input helpful diagrams/resources to help you answer all your questions. Usually working with other tutors you have to ask your question, then the tutor has to read it, and then try to figure it out which can be time-consuming. Andrew’s way of tutoring saves you time and I feel like it is the best way to learn because every session you will work on your weaknesses. I feel like I’ve learned a lot working with Andrew and was able to improve my score from a 495 on a Kaplan diagnostic to a 513 on my last AAMC full length before test day.”

“Hey Andrew, The MCAT went much better than I expected. My target score was 502/503 and I ended up scoring a 505. I earned the 91st percentile in Bio/Biochem, and I am very happy with my results. Thank you for your help!” Here is what he has to say about his tutoring session with Andrew: “Andrew was great. During our session, he gave me a study plan specific to me, that I really feel will get me the score I need. He is very easily accessible and does everything in his power to make sure the student is comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a structured plan they can follow on their own.”

“I unequivocally recommend Andrew as a tutor for the MCAT. His approach to the MCAT is exactly what you need to see consistent gains in your score. He focuses heavily on leveraging the AAMC materials to help you develop your approach to taking the MCAT as well as understanding how to integrate the content for the AAMC-style questions. This approach, coupled with his guidance on planning both my study schedule and my strategy for each of the sections, were a tremendous help as I prepared for the exam. On top of that, Andrew prepares clear tutoring sessions that really help solidify content with which I struggled the most. Andrew’s focus is not on helping you score better on a testing company’s version of the MCAT, but on the actual AAMC exam. As a result of his help and guidance, I’ve seen steady improvement in my ability to gain points on the AAMC style questions (particularly in the 3 science sections where I needed the most help in improving). All of these benefits coupled with Andrew’s supportive demeanor and responsiveness made him wonderful to work with!”

“Andrew is a godsend and personally the most helpful person in my MCAT journey! With his tutoring services, my score improved by 7 points and I regained confidence in myself to do well. Without a shadow of a doubt his teaching philosophy is phenomenal because he goes to great lengths to make sure the material sticks and makes sense. His cheerful personality also makes it easy to connect with him and it feels as if I am learning from him in person even though our sessions are online. Speaking of the tutoring sessions, Andrew is always consistent in starting them on time and keeping a professional attitude. He truly cares about his students and definitely helped me understand my true potential!”

“Being from Canada, and wanting to attend a Canadian medical school, meant earning a very strong CARS score. I tried many different CARS strategies and have done many passages, but nothing really worked. I needed to try something different. I learned about MCAT Self Prep and immediately wanted to give them a try. The reason they stuck out to me was: (1) they are extremely cost friendly (especially versus the other guys), (2) the attractiveness of the one-on-one format, and (3) the flexibility of the online-video-chat format. So far it’s been great. My tutor, Andrew, is extremely helpful and very well prepared. Going into my first session I didn’t know what to expect, but I was extremely, pleasantly surprised. He understood where I went wrong (based on questions I provided to him from certain passages) and offered advice that is helping me avoid making those same mistakes again. I strongly recommend MCAT Self Prep!”

“Andrew helped me feel more confident and prepared. He is extremely kind and answered all my questions through the portal and our sessions. Even though I wish I had more time during the tutoring sessions with him, he was always sure to follow up with emails and texts whenever I needed. He was very well prepared during our sessions and I could always count on him to answer any of my doubts and guide me through this ‘marathon.’ Thanks Andrew!”
