MCAT Self Prep

"Dimitry helped me tremendously throughout the MCAT prep process. I was struggling with CARS and my overall score and had tried multiple techniques, including Kaplan courses and different prep books, to no avail.He taught me new strategies that helped significantly, and because of this, I ended up scoring at the 90th percentile for CARS. He also filled in the gaps of my content knowledge for physics and biochemistry and taught me how to refine my approach to these problems to improve my score. In addition, he showed me how to use Anki, which not only helped me with the MCAT but also was a game-changer for my coursework. Throughout the process, Dimitry was a very patient tutor, and I knew I could always count on him to assist me when I was stuck. I was much more prepared for the MCAT because of Dimitry, and I feel more prepared to start medical school because of the study strategies he taught me."

"Dimitry is an amazing tutor who is patient, thorough in his explanations, and is also a great listener. As a retaker who struggles with getting over the 500-505 score range, I definitely recommend Dimitry for lessons on how to read and answer MCAT passages/questions more efficiently! Dimitry’s application of strategies in our practice together is eye opening and lessons with him have reflected positively in my practice FLs. I was able to break 514 on AAMC practice exams for the first time. His strategies, especially in CARS, make studying more methodical and I feel less uncertainty about my answer choices. Dimitry has a very active style of tutoring that involves walking through a passage together and solving the associated questions. He takes the time to make his explanations very clear and addresses any questions I have before moving on, which truly allows me to understand the correct logic behind MCAT questions. Lastly, Dimitry is an extremely personable and encouraging tutor, which makes tutoring sessions something I look forward to!"

"I started looking for a tutor to help me with the MCAT CARS section. CARS was one of the sections that seemed impossible to me, as English is my third language. I reached out to a lot of tutors in Wyzant, but Dimitry was one of the only confident tutors who thought he could help me. Since our first session, he showed me a completely different way to approach CARS, and encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. I’ve been taking lessons consistently with Dimitry since January, and my CARS grade jumped by 4-5 points on my practice exams. Dimitry is very encouraging, organized, and realistic. During our sessions, he observes and supports my logic. I solve a CARS passage, as I voice my thought process out loud. He provides feedback and points out to me what I have missed. I am grateful for all his help, and I definitely recommend him to everyone who struggles with CARS!"

"Dimitry is a fantastic tutor who has helped me reach my dream score on the MCAT. I worked with Dimitry for a few months and during that time I was able to get 1:1 tutoring and personalized guidance through passages. In addition, he taught me several test-taking skills that I never was aware of. When I first studied for the test I struggled to break 508, but thanks to working with him I was able to score a 515 (7+ point gain) on my actual test! Dimitry is an excellent choice and can help you reach your goal as well!"

Noah

"After working with Dimitry, I was able to get a 518. I am super happy with the improvements and my three point increase on CARS, the section I found most difficult. Before working with Dimitry, I was struggling to improve my score on CARS even a single point. Thanks to Dimitry for all the help he gave me while studying!"

Nathan

"Dimitry was a fantastic tutor who helped me achieve my dream score on the MCAT. His tips helped with Chem/phys especially and I managed to increase my score by 10 points overall working with him. He has plenty of resources available and he has good insight into the bigger picture with concepts because he is a medical school student himself. Highly recommend working with him!"

Ilyas

"Dimitry is an amazing tutor who is very knowledgeable about the MCAT and is great at helping his students improve in the areas they are struggling in. I hired Dimitry as a tutor to help me out with my CARS section for the MCAT, and after just two weeks of working with him, he massively improved my CARS score. We spent a month working on CARS, and throughout that time he created a thorough individualized schedule and strategy tailored to my needs. Throughout our sessions, Dimitry was very understanding, careful, and comprehensive towards helping me build my logic for approaching the CARS section on the MCAT. Additionally, he is a great resource for other topics on the MCAT, as he has a great knowledge base about the exam and can help improve anyone who is in need of MCAT help. Before working with him, I exhausted all kinds of strategies and resources to help me improve in CARS, but none of them were as helpful to improving my score as Dimitry's tutoring. It is without a doubt that I would recommend him as your MCAT tutor."

Joseph

"Dimitry has been a great tutor. He has not only helped me with great MCAT techniques to tackle this MCAT, but also helped me with my confidence as well. Dimitry takes the time to explain concepts to me and wants to make sure I understand the material. A lot of tutors, in my experience, don't know how to push a student to be the best and at the same time uplift them and he does both. I never feel embarrassed about asking questions and he makes every tutoring session a safe place so I just be myself and really get a better understanding. Also, this may sound weird but he actually has a people personality and is not "stuck up," which makes it so much easier to jump right into sessions with him and it not be awkward. His future students and patients are lucky to have him."

Recca

"Dimitry and I worked together for a dozen sessions and I feel they really helped me score my 515 on the MCAT. His tutoring gave me the tools I needed to do well on the exam and the study plan he helped me create enabled me to be efficient and on task with my studying."

Harish

"I previously took the MCAT last year and did not get the score I wanted. I used the Princeton Review and felt that it did not prepare me effectively for the exam. After creating a study plan with Dimitry, he taught me the tools I need to get a great score. I have already seen my practice tests improve multiple points! I highly recommend his services."

Taylor

"In my sessions with Dimitry I was able to utilize a CARS strategy that we talked through which helped me to understand why I was getting questions wrong. As a result, I am able to get through difficult passages and really hone in on the details that would lead me to the correct answer. Using these strategies coupled with practice I feel confident that I can get the score I want."

Arushi

"Dimitry was incredibly helpful with my MCAT studying and consistently provided me both thoughtful and detailed study advice. He is very knowledgeable about the various study resources available and helped me to organize my time most efficiently. Additionally, having worked with Dimitry for 2 years as teaching assistant, I can attest to his strong foundations in the life sciences and his organizational skills as a tutor. I cannot recommend anyone more!"

Hannah

"Dimitry was a wonderful tutor who helped to plan out a strategy for an effective high-yield study plan. He helped me sort through the cascade of resources and identify where I should target my efforts. He also gave me critical reasoning strategies that would help through the various sections of the test. I’m happy that my MCAT prep started with tutoring with Dimitry."

Ainesh

"I have been working with Dimitry for several months and he has been a major help in improving my MCAT performance. With him you not only get someone who has proven he can get a great score on the exam, but does a great job of showing you what he did to do so well. With a heavy focus on practice questions, methodical test taking strategies, and detailed analysis Dimitry has helped me in all aspects for the MCAT."

Jack

"Dimitry is an amazing tutor! At the start of my MCAT prep journey, I was overwhelmed and did not know how or where to begin. Dimitry provided me with the tools and resources necessary for my success. He gave me extensive insight into how the MCAT exam works and how to think like the MCAT. Additionally, he gave me extremely helpful test-taking strategies that allowed me to face difficult and challenging questions, especially with CARS. He guided me throughout the entire process of my MCAT prep and gave me both constructive feedback and encouragement. By the day of my exam, I felt calm and motivated to put my best foot forward. I would not have been able to approach the exam with such confidence without the tools that Dimitry provided me. I am very grateful for all his help during my journey, and I highly recommend his expertise!"

Caitlin

"Dimitry is a great tutor! He provided good strategies to study for the exam. I will continue to rely on his help in particular with the CARS section. I will also recommend him to my other pre-med friends! I trust him to help my friends and myself based on my excellent experience working with him thus far."

Van

"Dimitry is an amazing tutor who takes the time to explain and go over personalized strategies! Even after only a few lessons I have learned so much and improved my scores significantly. I highly recommend Dimitry as a tutor for the MCAT!"

Jaina

"Dimitry teaches a lot of great strategies that save time and help me learn to pinpoint all the necessary details and information required to answer questions. He has a unique take on how to do content review, which both boosts efficiency and saves time while also helping students learn to get into the minds of those who write the MCAT through repetition."

Aravind

"I have had seven lessons with Dimitry thus far, and I picked up techniques which clearly are already improving my methods for approaching CARS, and spilling over in the science passages. Confidently, I recommend Dimitry for improving passage-based techniques for test day!"

Pace

"Dimitry has been my MCAT tutor for about one month or so and I can already see the positive difference in my practice question results! His strategy of working through practice questions with me is effective because he makes sure that I understand why I missed a question and how I can improve or, on the other hand, why I answered a question correctly. This approach is beneficial because it ensures that I can back up my answers. Additionally, he’s very competent and I’m sure that any student will benefit from his tutoring sessions."
