I achieved a 526 (100th percentile) on the MCAT with balanced section scores of 131/131/132/132, and I've spent the past four years helping pre-medical students reach their own MCAT goals.

10/10 MCAT Tutor!
Alina has been an amazing tutor. I've had several sessions with her so far and she's helped me recognize my weaknesses in my studying habits and prep so that I can come out with a stronger understanding. When I was studying on my own I felt stagnant, like nothing was clicking but now with her assistance I actually feel like I'm progressing and improving. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who need help prepping for the MCAT, especially if you have ADHD.

Kind & knowledgeable!
My sessions with Alina have been very helpful! She has given me useful insights on how to review my exams and ways to approach passages. She is very knowledgeable about all the major MCAT topics and will quiz me randomly throughout our sessions. She also relates a lot of the topics and strategies to real life examples which helps with conceptualizing complex topics. My score has gone up several points in the last few weeks that we've been working together, and I'd definitely recommend scheduling with her especially if you've been studying for a while and need a new perspective!

Amazing MCAT tutor!
I had multiple MCAT sessions with her and each one was amazing. She explains concepts very thoroughly and breaks down difficult topics in a way that’s easy to understand. She seems to know everything- like an encyclopedia- and can answer any question with clear explanations. She is patient, supportive, and always makes sure all my questions are answered. After each session, I felt more confident and better prepared. I would highly recommend her to anyone studying for the MCAT. She is a 5/5 and I highly recommend!!
