Rethink What You Know About MCAT Tutoring
Remember going to math tutoring in high school? This isn’t that.
Professionally Trained Tutors
Every tutor on our team is an MD or MD candidate from a reputable medical school that has been thoroughly vetted and rigorously trained to tutor students directly by Elite Medical Prep’s founding members.
Organized Custom Tutoring
For decades, we have worked to develop an outcomes based PBL curriculum that we use as a framework for our student centered tutoring. We focus on score improvement via high yield content learning as well as developing student problem areas.
Ongoing Assessment of Progress
Our tutors formally and informally assess students throughout the tutoring process to actively monitor growth. Regular assessments help ensure students have the best chance possible to achieve their score goal.
Professional Support Team
In addition to their tutor, all Elite students enjoy access to a learning support team which includes our on-staff learning advisor and secondary tutors available for unlimited question support via email.
Accountability & Success Strategies
1-on-1 sessions are only one component of the Elite Medical Prep structured tutoring program. Tutors assign questions and help students build effective time management skills, independent study habits, and exam anxiety reduction techniques.

We pride ourselves in our honesty and our commitment to student success. Therefore, we never oversell students on necessary tutoring hours to reach their goal. In fact, all unused tutoring hours you purchase are 100% refundable and our rates start at $195/hr.
Is it worth getting a tutor for MCAT?
It is definitely worth it to get a tutor for the MCAT. Our tutors have been shown to raise students’ scores on the MCAT exam by 10, 20, or even 30 points. When you consider how much effort you have put into school already, and all of the hard work and endless study that you have been doing for years to get where you are, you don’t want to have to waste precious time in getting admitted to medical school by scoring poorly on the test.
You want to make sure that you get into the medical school of your dreams, and that’s only going to come with the best MCAT scores. Think about it this way: what you’re doing right now with MCAT exam tutoring will affect which medical school you get into, which will affect the medical field and opportunities that are open to you when you become a doctor.
So, working with a private tutor now, one who can make a customized study plan for test prep, is going to pay off big time in the long run.
How much do MCAT tutors charge?
Our MCAT tutors are the best of the best, and they all have a proven track record of helping with MCAT study through private MCAT tutoring sessions. With years of experience under their belts, rates for Elite Medical Prep MCAT tutors begin at $195 per hour.
As important as MCAT practice and online MCAT tutoring are, you’ll find that our tutors will propel you forward. You can watch your MCAT exam score rise and your medical school application move to the top of the stack.
How do I find a good MCAT tutor?
We at Elite Medical Prep will help you find the best tutor for you. Simply fill out a brief questionnaire outlining your status and goals, and we’ll schedule a consultation where we can talk to you one-on-one about your learning style and what kind of tutor would work best for you.

A Bright Future Begins Here
Our MCAT tutors often say that having a competitive MCAT score and also getting accepted into a prestigious medical school had a far greater impact upon their career opportunities than they ever could have imagined. With Elite MCAT Tutoring, students now have the invaluable opportunity to tutor and work with a medical doctor mentor in order to achieve their medical school dreams.
What is the MCAT?
The Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®) is a standardized exam that prospective medical students must take as part of the medical school admissions process.
The MCAT consists of 4 multiple choice sections covering the following content:
- Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
- Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
- Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
How is the MCAT scored?
MCAT scoring ranges from 472 to 528 with 500 being the mean and median MCAT score. Each of the 4 sections of the MCAT is scored between 118 and 132.
The average MCAT score for students that have successfully been accepted and have registered to attend a medical school is between a 510 and a 511. The following ranges give an idea of possible MCAT scores:
- Highly Competitive (>90th Percentile): 514-528
- Competitive (>75th Percentile): 508-513
- Less Competitive (50th Percentile): 500-507
- Weak Scores: 499 & Below
Can I retake the MCAT?
While it is possible to retake the MCAT, it is important to remember that unlike the ACT/SAT, all your scores will be seen by medical schools.
One can retake the MCAT up to three times in one year and up to seven times in a lifetime. In terms of deciding if a retake it in order, it is a good idea to consider the following:
- Is your first score competitive for most of the schools you are applying to?
- How prepared were you for the MCAT when you first took it?
- How much more test prep are you prepared to partake in?
- What is your timeline for a retake?
