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 test 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.

We also offer expert application help and personal statement revision.
Practice Makes Perfect
Since the MCAT is such a sophisticated and complex exam, students must obtain a level of confidence with the material. In addition, students are expected to apply their knowledge to extremely complicated questions and problem sets in a strict time restraint. In order to make ensure our students’ ability to do so, we provide a free AAMC® practice MCAT exam with every student. Students can use the exam as a tool for testing their abilities, and use the real MCAT problems throughout their lessons with their tutors. Tutors will help students learn content, strategy, and time management on every type of MCAT question.
MCAT Lessons Tailored to Your Needs
We understand that every student is different, and each student has unique struggles with the MCAT. For that reason, instead of applying a generic MCAT preparation formula to all students, we create a customized study plan for every student. Your tutor will assess how you are scoring on the MCAT practice exam, and then using your results, create a study plan that will help you learn to improve on sections/questions that are most difficult for you. In addition to our customized approach, we offer flexible scheduling. You can create a study schedule that works with your availability!
