Med School Tutors Review

If you’re looking for a one on one tutoring option for the MCAT (or USMLE), Med School Tutors could be a great choice.

Results

Unlike many other tutoring companies, Med School Tutors quickly gave me some of the average results that their students get from their services. Here is about what you can expect as far as score improvement:

– USMLE: ~32 points

– MCAT: ~7 points

These are measured from an initial official practice test (or a prior actual test) to the actual test. These are pretty significant improvements, and I liked that they were quick to tell about what you can expect. That’s what you’re paying for, right?

Process

Med School Tutors goes through the following process to make sure that you’re ready for your test. From their website, this includes:

  • Start with realistic awareness of your baseline
  • Establish an individualized study plan detailing daily assignments
  • Target your weaknesses no matter how much more comfortable your strengths are
  • Master and retain the most hi-yield content
  • Focus on problem and question-based learning/practice
  • Schedule and review assessment exams
  • Determine the best date for your test

    • I particularly like that they help you choose the best date for your test and have several assessments as you’re getting ready to take the test.

    Cost

    The cost of Med School Tutors is similar to all high level, one-on-one tutoring, which is in the $200 to $300 an hour range. However, there are package options that will decrease this rate by up to 15%.

    For this level of customization, it’s not a bad deal. Plus, it’s often worth it to pay more for a great tutor.

    Keep in mind that you are planning to enter a career where your compensation will definitely be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for years to come.

    Also keep in mind the cost of applying to medical school, which is around $7430+.

    Your MCAT score has a lot to do with whether you get accepted the first time around or not. The cost of tutoring can easily be worth the savings of not having to apply again to medical school.

    Overall

    Overall, I would recommend Med School Tutors as a solid option for one-on-one tutoring. Their pricing is similar to other one-on-one tutoring, and they have the benefit of being a smaller company than a Kaplan or a Princeton Review. To me this means they can be more careful with their tutor selection. They definitely have the highest standards that I’ve seen as far as scores for tutor selection, and their average score improvement is very impressive. Also, you’ll get a very systematic, yet personalized approach that has been proven successful.
