Let's face it: applying to med school is a really stressful process. When it comes to the most grueling piece - the MCAT - you don't have to go at it alone. A great MCAT score won't get you into medical schools on its own, but it's key to at least getting your foot in the door. That road to a 90th+ percentile score is much easier with a mentor. My name is Téa (pronounced like Leia from Star Wars), and I graduated from a Top 15 liberal arts college (Vassar) in just 3 years with a double major...

Let's face it: applying to med school is a really stressful process. When it comes to the most grueling piece - the MCAT - you don't have to go at it alone. A great MCAT score won't get you into medical schools on its own, but it's key to at least getting your foot in the door. That road to a 90th+ percentile score is much easier with a mentor. My name is Téa (pronounced like Leia from Star Wars), and I graduated from a Top 15 liberal arts college (Vassar) in just 3 years with a double major in Biology and Philosophy while maintaining a 3.91 GPA. I scored a 518 on the MCAT with a 98th percentile CARS score. I've helped my students raise their score by 10+ points with 2 months of tutoring together. I firmly believe so much of this test is reading comprehension! Even if you know your hard sciences down pat, some questions are impossible to get through without the right passage-analysis techniques. So besides filling in your content gaps along the way, I'm going to help you design a customized test strategy based on your strengths and weaknesses to help you beat the MCAT once and for all. I work specifically with pre-meds who are shooting for a 515+, so that means we really need to get inside the minds of the test-makers to be ready for anything they throw at you on test day. Ready to crush this exam so you can get into your top choice schools? Let's do it!

MCAT

MCAT

If you're scoring below a 515 (90th percentile) on your practice exams and you want the content help and test-taking strategies to score between a 90th-100th percentile, we can get you there. I aim high with my students (520+) on their practice exams, so that even if test-day throws a curveball at you, you can still confidently score a 515 or above and be competitive for most US MD schools. The MCAT is a beast to tackle on your own, so I am here to be your mentor and accountability partner. Let's get you into your top-choice school!

Amazing Experience

Tea, is an amazing tutor with very recent knowledge. We were able to accomplish all that I had wanted to do. She is patient and a very sweet girl! I am blessed to be learning from her.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much! It was awesome meeting you today, and I can’t wait for our next sessions together. You’re a fantastic student!

Great tutor!

Tea is an amazing tutor. I had some concerns about CARS, so Tea went through passages with me thoroughly and gave me helpful tips to keep in mind. Additionally, Tea is able to answer any questions or concerns I have about certain science material, making sure I understand the types of passages and content I will see on test day. Thank you, Tea!

knows her chemistry!

I hired Tea to tutor my high school daughter in sophomore chemistry. Tea was extremely responsive, and organized and prepared for the session. My daughter (who is a tough customer) feels Tea is very well versed in chemistry and extremely smart, and is very happy to have Tea as her tutor.

MCAT from 513 to 516 in one month

Tea helped me get an MCAT score that I am very happy with. She was super organized and lined up an entire month up to MCAT test prep daily plan. She was amazing to work with because she knows the MCAT front to back and could answer all my questions and help me when I was stuck. By the time I took the MCAT, I felt much more confident in my abilities compared to before I got help from Tea. She is also an excellent writing coach and helped me get through my med school application essays. I would highly recommend Tea to any pre-med student who wants to solidify their MCAT score. - Piotr Andzel

Supportive and Helpful

Tea gave me the right structure and resources to be able to tackle this exam. If you need someone to help plan a very detailed schedule, Tea will definitely be the right person to go to with all your questions. I look forward to working with her more on my weak areas and understanding the information given.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Tea helped me realize my pitfalls for CARS and gave me a more structured approach to use when tackling CARS passages. She also gives in-depth explanations when reviewing science passages with you. She wants to make sure you truly understand the information before moving on.

supportive and caring tutor

My first meeting with Tea was incredible. She came prepared to help me out and set a game plan on how to tackle the MCAT with my timeline. She replied to my questions and concerns with detailed messages and I can tell she really wants me to succeed. Tea was able to provide me with resources that will help me out on my exam and my weak areas as well. She's a tutor that will be with you every step of the way and you can always rely on her.
