Expert MCAT Tutoring Vancouver British Columbia

We specialize in one-on-one MCAT tutoring because we believe learning is subjective. Working with your tutor, you will develop new strategies and apply your method to real MCAT questions. Our tutors share the strategy they mastered while studying for the MCAT, in addition to discussing all of the content on the exam. We have the highest standards in the industry for our MCAT tutors. First and foremost, we require that all of our tutors score within the 94th percentile or above on the exam, and were able to perform well in each section of the MCAT.

Extended Payment Plans

Our prices for one-on-one MCAT test prep are more affordable than our competitors’ and we offer extended payment plans so all students have the opportunity to master the material of the MCAT.

Our Approach to Vancouver MCAT Tutoring

We start off by learning about each individual student’s experience studying for the MCAT since learning is extremely nuanced. We want to understand our students’ history and struggles with the fundamental sciences that are tested. We have found that no two MCAT students are on the same page. Some of the information we seek includes:

After we learn about the student and her/his experience with the exam, our team then matches you with the best 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 a MCAT study group.

Our Vancouver MCAT tutoring takes a customized approach with every student. Our 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® test prep materials with all of our study packages.

Just beginning your MCAT prep? Here’s some information about the MCAT®:

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. The MCAT is broken down into 4 sections:

Medical and Pre-Medical Faculties in Vancouver and British Columbia

Vancouver is the most populous city in British Columbia and the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. It is commonly known as the “Beta global city.” A beautiful city surrounded by water, it is a very inspiring environment to learn and live.

Located in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest, British Columbia is home to the highly competitive University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine (UBC), ranked third overall by Maclean’s in 2018. With a fifteen percent acceptance rate and a minimum MCAT 2015 score of 124 on all four sections written on a single exam, MCAT prep is especially important if you are considering UBC’s Faculty of Medicine. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada, and all accepted students spend their first semester at the Point Grey Campus in Vancouver before matriculating into one of UBC’s three distributed medical education sites across British Columbia, each of which is designed to expose students to medically underserved communities throughout British Columbia.

As to be expected, UBC’s Faculty of Medicine requires its applicants to be above the 85% of academic average. They have equally high expectations for applicants’ MCAT scores. In order to be considered, applicants must score a 124 or above on every section of the MCAT, and they no longer accept scores from the old MCAT. UBC only admits Canadian students, giving preference to its local British Columbia neighbors.

The UBC-Okanagan Campus houses the Southern Medical Program (SMP), located in Kelowna. This program places an emphasis on family medicine in the often-underserved areas of British Columbia’s interior. Students have a wide range of research options during their course of study, outlined here on the school’s website.

Moving further up in longitude, the Northern Medical Program (NMP) at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George offers students the opportunity to focus on the underserved communities in rural areas of Northern BC, much like the Southern Medical Program. Research opportunities abound at the NMP but are especially focused on health epidemiology as it relates to the northern regions of British Columbia.

The Island Medical Program (IMP) at the University of Victoria focuses primarily on the healthcare related hurdles that mid-sized urban island communities, as well as rural and coastal villages, face, including working with elderly and Aboriginal peoples. The IMP’s close proximity to Vancouver allows students access to a wide array of research opportunities relating to Vancouver Island, mingling metropolitan community needs with those of a smaller, more intimate patient base.

There are many great places to study pre-medical sciences in British Columbia. Selkirk College offers a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a rural environment to learn more about becoming a small town physician.

Washington State University in Vancouver also offers a comprehensive pre-med curriculum. Their supportive advising staff will do all they can to help you gain acceptance to medical school.

Practice Makes Perfect!

Many students feel confident in the content of the MCAT but struggle with strategy and overall maintaining their cool during the 7-hour 45-minute exam. Successfully applying this scientific and medical knowledge to a standardized test is extremely complex. In addition to providing some of the best MCAT prep, we make sure that every student is practicing on AAMC questions. It is crucial that students repeat and practice MCAT sample questions throughout their prep. Our tutors provide students with helpful tricks and strategies for taking the computer-based, standardized MCAT exam.

Check out our CASper test prep section where we provide detailed information about the Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics.

We acknowledge that every student is unique, and we specialize in taking an individualized approach in every lesson. Our MCAT tutors create unique study plans tailored to each individual student’s needs. The MCAT study schedule is personalized for YOU alone in the one-on-one tutoring sessions.

In group MCAT tutoring, the tutor surveys the group’s needs as a whole, and then (s)he dedicates every lesson to the group’s needs, while applying each individual’s needs to the lesson plans.

Our tutoring prices are more affordable than our competitors and we offer extended payment plans so that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential on the MCAT. We understand that the process of applying to medical school is a very expensive one. That’s why we provide students with expert MCAT tutoring to help them succeed, regardless of their financial backgrounds.
