I am James and I am a highly experienced MCAT tutor looking to help you improve your scores and get into your top medical schools! I received a 522 on my MCAT with a score split of 132 C/P, 130 CARS, 130 B/B, and 130 P/S, so I can help you in any subject that you may need. As an medical and engineering student, I am very strong in chemistry and physics but I have taken all of my pre-medicine courses so I am well versed in all subjects and topics on the MCAT.
I am currently an M1 on an academic scholarship at Texas A&M University's School of Engineering medicine, in which I will receive both my M.D. and Master's of Engineering. I maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout my undergraduate career and even won the Outstanding Senior Engineer Award.
I have been tutoring for over 4 years. I started by working at Mathnasium in high school, but I have since transitioned to MCAT tutoring here on Wyzant. I have over 200 hours of MCAT tutoring experience and many student testimonials to backup my expertise. My tutoring is highly testing strategy focused, as I have always believed that the MCAT is much more about learning how to take the test than it is about the content. I have a variety of test taking strategies that I pass on to all of my students that improves both their timing and accuracy. I like working through MCAT practice questions with my students in order to fine tune their approach to each type of question and ensure they are being as efficient with their time as possible. Send me a message if you are interested in setting up a session and we can get something scheduled ASAP!

MCAT

I have completed all of my pre-medicine courses and have a conditional acceptance to the Texas A&M College of Medicine EnMed program. I prepared for my MCAT for 4 months and took it in January of 2023, where I got a 522 (99% percentile). I have 3 years of tutoring experience and 3 years of mentoring experience, which have made me very capable as an MCAT tutor.

Extremely knowledgeable MCAT tutor!

James was an amazing MCAT tutor! I've been working with him weekly since November for my MCAT retake in May and he has been a huge help in understanding difficult topics I came across in practice materials. He also had very good tips for test strategy, especially in CARS and bio/biochem that helped me tackle exam passages more efficiently. I went into my retake more confident with the skills he taught. I highly recommend James for MCAT tutoring!

James is a great MCAT tutor!

I’ve met with James for several sessions leading up to my MCAT and he was a huge help! He listens to what you’re having trouble with and explains it thoroughly until it’s understood. He’s great at all subjects but especially chem/phys! Definitely recommend James!

We reviewed overall MCAT strategies for test taking and how to read passages. We went through practice questions on the CHEM/PHYS section of the test. Very helpful so far in learning how to tackle difficult questions!

Helpful MCAT Tutor

We went over organic chemistry and physics questions, and it was helpful to talk out reasoning for each passage and the questions. He was very patient and shared some helpful strategies too!

Knowledgable MCAT Tutor

James is tutoring me in Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry for my upcoming MCAT. Our session was super helpful, and I like that he asks questions throughout our session to test that I'm understanding concepts. He has a great background for it, and I'd really recommend trying a session with him!
