Our Tutors are Superhuman
Sometime ago MCAT tutoring became a product, with huge companies focused on meager average score increases. One medical student was unsatisfied with the status quo and co-founded Tutor the People with the goal of personalizing MCAT prep based on the needs of the individual student, not the needs of a focus group. We hire tutors who not only received top scores on the MCAT, but also have a passion and skill for teaching their students how to recreate their success on test day.

Medical Schools and Opportunities in Honolulu
Despite being America’s Wettest City and Orchid Capital, Honolulu is also popular for its renowned medical schools and opportunities. There are some noteworthy institutions where students can study the pre-medical sciences in order to enhance their chances to get admitted into America’s top medical universities.
The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Honolulu is one of the best schools in the area for pre-med students. Their Pre-Health/Pre-Law Advising Center is furnished with helpful staff who can guide students as to how to tailor their undergraduate studies in order to fulfill the requirements for medical school. Not only that, they also provide a complete guideline to create your MCAT study plan and timeline.
Hawaii Pacific University is another great institution that provides the Post-baccalaureate certificate in pre-medical/pre-health studies. You’ll be glad to know that Hawaii Pacific University is the only university in all of greater Hawaii that provides a post-baccalaureate certificate in the pre-medical/pre-health studies sciences. The certificate program of HPU is a good way for an applicant to become more competitive and increase their chances when preparing for a new career in a medical or health profession. HPU also aims to train its students to achieve top scores in the qualifying examinations (MCAT, DAT, OAT, GRE, etc.). In addition to that, HPU offers pre-med students the opportunity to take part in undergraduate Biomedical Research. The research is hands-on and can be beneficial for forming your medical school application.
We specialize in taking an individualized approach with every student. MCAT tutors create a unique study plan for each student, one that is tailored to the student’s strengths and areas of improvement. In addition, we provide free AAMC® MCAT prep materials to every student. We also supply every student with a free copy of our book, MCAT Math: Strategies and Practice Problems, so you can excel in your test prep.
After we learn about each student and their experience with the exam, our team then matches you with the best Honolulu MCAT tutor who matches your availability and your specific MCAT needs.
We also offer small group MCAT tutoring. The groups are formed on an as-needed basis, so whether you are an individual looking to form a group or a group of friends/classmates who want to save some money on MCAT prep, just contact us to form an MCAT study group. Group MCAT tutoring is offered both online and in-person.
Just starting your MCAT prep? Here’s some information about the MCAT® Test:
The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a computer-based standardized test that Admissions Committees use as a tool to determine your future medical school success. The exam is designed to assess problem solving skills, critical thinking, and knowledge of scientific concepts and principles.

It is no doubt that students benefit from a customized, one on one approach to learning. When studying for a test as difficult as the MCAT, the one on one approach is especially crucial. Students who approach their prep in a more traditional, classroom setting, often obtain a general understanding of the content covered on the exam but are deprived of the focus needed to delve into the complex areas of the material. Because the MCAT is tested on such specific concepts piled on top of fundamental areas in science, it is crucial that students grasp the full basis of each science, before learning the intricacies that build upon them.
Our Honolulu MCAT tutors can help students no matter what page they are on in their studies. Maybe the premed is a stellar student, but never fully understood the role of the Krebs Cycle. Working with a Honolulu MCAT tutor one on one, the pre med and the tutor can diagnose exactly in which areas of the exam the student is struggling most, then create a carefully curated study schedule around the student’s strengths and areas of weakness.
