More About Krista

Hi! I’m Krista! I understand how stressful and discouraging studying for the MCAT can be. I took the MCAT in March of 2022, so while I was just in your shoes, I can confidently say that there is no better feeling than seeing your hard work pay off. I want to help you achieve the score of your dreams and feel confident throughout the process!

My MCAT journey was a year-long battle of trying to create a solid study plan, stick to it, and retain all the information. When I started, I thought I would be taking the MCAT in 3 months. I was quickly overwhelmed by all the different study materials on the internet and struggled to find a good note-taking strategy. I didn’t feel prepared at all for the test. It took 6 months for me to find MCAT Self Prep. And wow, my sanity was saved! I finally felt like I had all the resources I needed to improve my score.

I took a psychological approach to the test. I learned all the different ways people categorize and retain information and incorporated them into my own study plan. The month before the exam, I took two practice tests a week. I would book a study room in the public library, eat the same food, and wear the exact same outfit every time. I know that sounds a little insane, but I owe my score to this and all my study tricks. Now that the MCAT is behind me, I am in the application process and enjoying my gap year. I am a Cajun girl from Louisiana that loves hiking, camping, and all things outdoors. I’m a bookworm and a puzzle enthusiast. I like to think that I am easy to get along with and talk to, but I guess that’s for you to find out!

I can’t wait to start working with you! I can help you create a personalized study plan for your unique learning style and personality. Together, we will fine-tune your strengths and identify and overcome your weaknesses. The MCAT is a wild journey, but not one you have to do alone.

Stay positive!

Hear What Krista’s Students are Saying About Her

MCAT Prep Course - MCAT Tutor

Amy

“If you’re looking for a tutor, stop right here because Krista is one of the best you can get. She’s one of those people who are born to teach. She tutored me in physics and then became my MCAT tutor. It is not enough for her for me to learn the concept, she focuses on helping me retain it. She’s got all sorts of quirky, unique studying tricks. Because of her, I now have a “MCAT outfit” that I wear whenever I take a practice test and when I review it. This is supposed to help with memory retrieval, which is one of my weaknesses. After doing this for a month, I have seen a 10+ increase in my practice MCAT score! Krista also helped my breakthrough in CARS. We read the passage together and then she listens as I explain my reasoning for the question’s answer choices. Just having her there to listen and offer assistance when necessary has helped me not second guess as much. Krista, thank you so much for your patience and confidence in me!!!”

Ally

Krista has been incredibly helpful during my time studying for the MCAT. Not only did she help with content and strategy, but she helped motivate me when everything became very overwhelming and she truly cared about seeing me improve. I am so thankful for all of her help!!!

Olivia

“My biggest struggle during the MCAT has been applying my knowledge to answer the questions. No matter how many times I would review material, when it came to applying to the passages, I would blank. Krista created a guide for me to use when reading every passage. It’s like she reached into my mind and knew exactly what I needed. I went up from a 498 baseline to a 510 after working with her. I highly recommend her!”

If you were like me and are scrolling through the different tutors’ pages trying to see which one stands out, look no further! Krista is the way to go if you are looking for a tutor who will not only increase your knowledge base and understanding of the MCAT, but also build you up personally to be able to attack the test confidently. She truly prioritizes your success and learning style. I was hesitant to receive any tutors help but eventually decided to invest my time in Krista because of the amazing reviews she had – to say it paid off would be an under statement! She broke questions down that I struggled with and made them seem simple. She gave me the tools to approach the exam more logically. I used to struggle to score above 499, and after working with Krista I’ve been able to score 504+ on practice tests. I believe a lot of my improvement is due to her increasing my confidence and ability to make the MCAT “easy”.

Noah

“When I started studying the physics section, the concepts were so foreign and overwhelming. Krista was a life-saver! Krista is so patient and encouraging which allowed me to feel comfortable asking questions and admitting when I didn’t understand. She has an incredible knack for explaining the concepts with real-life examples. One of my favorite ways she taught me is how we would approach a question together. She always gave me time to figure it out myself and if I was stumped, she would give me subtle hints to help guide me. Therefore, I always felt confident that I could tackle the problem by myself, and when exam day came, I remembered all her little hints. Thank you Krista!”

Bailey

“If there’s a single word to describe her, it’s patient. Even after tutoring for hours, not once did I see Krista look like she wasn’t having fun. She would get excited when her tutee made a breakthrough and was always compassionate, understanding, and motivational. After hearing how great of a teacher she was, I asked her for help, mostly focusing on chemistry. She completely changed her teaching methods to adapt to my learning style. I am a visual learner, so she taught me how to use highlighters to show where reactions were taking place. If there is a concept that you feel you’ll never understand, Krista will do everything she can to make sure you come out on top.”

Brad

“Krista rocks. She is the reason that I can’t ride in a car without wanting to calculate my velocity and acceleration. I did not understand physics at all when I tried learning on my own. Once Krista started teaching me in her creative, simple way, I actually could engage in class and not feel like I was drowning. She has so many math hacks that helped speed up my problem-solving, which really helped on the MCAT. I learned to love physics because of Krista. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor.”

You do not need to meet with your tutor at the same time every week for a set number of weeks.

Students love having this flexibility.

Is there any way to meet in person with my tutor?

All of our tutoring sessions are conducted online, and our students find this to be just as effective, if not more effective, than meeting in person. Students really enjoy the fact that they can visit with their tutor without having to ever leave their apartment!

How we Matched up the Khan Academy Passages with the eCourse Lessons

Each lesson of the eCourse contains links to 1 to 5 Khan Academy science passages for the purpose of providing you with non-AAMC material to practice your science passage reading skills on. By completing all the linked passages within every lesson, you will have finished all the freely available Khan Academy science passages.

To match up the Khan Academy Science Passages with the eCourse lessons, we carefully examined the passage and question content of each one. Then we decided which lesson of the eCourse best correlated with that content. You may notice that some passages don’t match up perfectly with the current lesson. If they don’t match up with the current lesson, they should match up with one of the previous lessons in the module. We did this carefully so that you could practice your science passage reading skills on passages that contain the content you’ve already learned.

Why we don’t recommend non-AAMC CARS practice questions

We recommend practicing CARS by reading non-AAMC CARS passages but not doing the associated practice problems. The reason we don’t recommend doing the practice problems is because the MCAT is written by the AAMC. They have a very unique style in which they write CARS practice questions that third-party companies (try as they might) are unable to replicate. When students spend time on non-AAMC CARS practice problems, they get familiar with the wrong style of questioning, leading them to overthink and incorrectly respond to the questions written by the AAMC. Thus, it is in your best interest to solely practice on AAMC CARS practice questions.

That said, we highly recommend practicing your reading skills on non-AAMC CARS passages. In our Ultimate CARS Strategy Course, we provide you with 1,000 free CARS passages and 100+ homework assignments, giving you ample material to practice on. Reading countless passages while practicing the proper reading habits and strategies will prepare you well to conquer the CARS section as it was written by the AAMC.

Which books do the lessons match up with?

The books we use in each lesson are linked below. We plan to stick with these older editions of the books since very little has changed and the older editions are much more affordable:

First Edition of the Kaplan 7-book Series
First Edition of the Princeton 7-book Series

Do the chapters match up perfectly?

The Kaplan Books, Princeton Books, and Khan Academy Videos were all produced by different authors. For this reason, there are some chapters in the Kaplan Book or Princeton Book that are not even found in the Khan Academy Videos and vice versa. For instance, the Kaplan and Princeton Books have chapters that cover certain experimental procedures that the Khan Academy Videos do not cover.

Our goal in matching up the books with the videos was to correlate the content as best as possible while also covering ALL the content from every resource. For this reason, when nothing in the Kaplan Books matched up with one of the video playlists, instead of leaving the reading assignment for Kaplan blank, we inserted material that did not fit in anywhere else (i.e. one of those chapters on an experimental procedure that was not covered by Khan Academy). So, when the assignment doesn’t appear to match up right, please know that this was intentional.

*If you follow the reading assignments outlined, you will finish the entire Kaplan 7-book series and/or Princeton 7-book series by the time you finish all 10 content modules.

Do the sections match up perfectly?

If the sections assigned in our eCourse do not match up with the sections contained in your content review book, you may have a different edition. The sections should still match up the large majority of the time, but in the rare instance that they don’t, I’d recommend simply reading sections that do match up and saving the ones that do not for a future lesson.
