Hello! I'm Tanner, a recent MD graduate of UT Southwestern, where I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Societies. Prior to medical school, I graduated summa cum laude from BYU with a degree in economics.

Hello! I'm Tanner, a recent MD graduate of UT Southwestern, where I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Societies. Prior to medical school, I graduated summa cum laude from BYU with a degree in economics. I scored a 525 (132/131/130/132) on the MCAT, and for three years, I was an MCAT instructor/tutor for Blueprint Test Prep, where I personally worked with 600+ students in virtual classroom and one-on-one settings. As one of Blueprint's top instructors, I also provided training for other instructors. In fact, over 80% of Blueprint's current instructors were trained by me!

The MCAT can be a difficult exam, but we can make it much easier through two basic principles: Rapid and efficient accumulation of the required knowledge, and a comprehensive ability to apply the appropriate strategies to each passage and question. My teaching philosophy is built upon these two principles, and my students and I stick to them! Rapid accumulation of knowledge means that most of my students know everything they need for the MCAT in about 6 weeks. Efficient accumulation of knowledge means that students study the proper amount to understand and remember everything, but not more than this. This is possible through lessons focused on fundamental principles and appropriate spaced repetition. Learning to apply the right strategies will let you take a look at a question and know exactly how to get to the right answer. This is the most valuable skill I teach my MCAT students, and thankfully, it does not require very long to teach it! Many of my students can achieve a total and complete understanding of all the necessary strategies with just a few hours together.

Whether you are looking for an MCAT coach to help you with a difficult concept, or you need someone to set up a comprehensive study plan and guide you over several months, I'm very excited to take everything I've learned with my 600+ students and apply it to you! Feel free to send me a message, and we can chat about how to move forward.

Extremely knowledgeable MCAT tutor!

Tanner has been an unbelievable asset during my MCAT journey. From strategy to content, he knows it all and explains everything in an easily digestible way that helps you retain the information. He taught me how to read figures and understand questions to where no question seems particularly daunting anymore. I come out of every session excited to practice what he taught me! He is also very knowledgeable about the entire med school application process and able to answer any questions about essays, school choices, and what med schools are looking for. Tanner is the best MCAT tutor you'll find!!

Experienced Tutor w/ Dynamic Approach

As my test date rapidly approaches, I have been looking for a MCAT tutor, and am so grateful to have stumbled upon Tanner! He is not only extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter, but on the structure of the exam and learning theory as well. He knows how to break down complex concepts into simple terms and extrapolate the most pertinent information. In only a few sessions he has solidified my understanding of topics that I have struggled to conceptualize for years. Each tutoring session is dynamic and catered to strengthening your trouble spots, from tricky content to test-taking strategies to passage-reading approaches. I come out of each session feeling more prepared and confident in my abilities to take the exam, and have seen tangible improvements in my score since working with him. Highly recommend!

Look no further for an amazing tutor!

I have been struggling with approaching and understanding science passages and figures on the MCAT. In just one lesson, Tanner was able to teach me strategies that completely changed how I approach these questions and figures and make it MUCH easier to understand them(in less time and with a lot less effort than I was putting in before). If you’re struggling with these types of questions or the MCAT in general, Tanner is your guy!

Amazing MCAT Tutor!!!

Tanner is everything I was looking for in an MCAT tutor. He is a genius when it comes to the MCAT, both in terms of his content knowledge and knowledge of the exam itself. With Tanner I have learned CARS strategies, discussed study tactics and resources, created a study plan (and adapted it as my own timeline changed), and have asked hundreds of content-related questions (all of which he can answer on the spot off the top of his head). Whatever MCAT related help you need, Tanner can do it! It is very obvious that he has a strong tutoring background and understanding of the MCAT exam itself. He is also super responsive and flexible. I am so glad I found him–I couldn't recommend an MCAT tutor enough! Thank you, Tanner!!!
