MCAT Mastery Tutor Pooja

I recently received my MCAT score, and after working with Pooja my score increased by 11 points since the first time I took the exam. I am so grateful to have had Pooja in my corner throughout this whole journey. Thank you Pooja and MCAT Mastery!!

Active Listening and genuine effort to help me improve

My tutor (Adam) listened to my struggles and concerns and actively addressed them every single session. As my scores and knowledge grew, so did my confidence in myself in large part due to my Adam!

Tutoring is a worthwhile investment!

My tutor, Merrina, was so helpful in breaking down and explaining difficult concepts to me. She was patient, thorough and very encouraging during our tutoring sessions! She answered any additional questions I had and made sure I was able to apply the information we covered during our sessions. I'm very thankful for getting the opportunity to work with her and for her advice!

10 tutoring sessions

Hanes was great, patient and provided good guidance throughout the 10 CARS sessions. He knows exactly how to discern the right answer, and can help you identify mistake/thought patterns not congruent with AAMC logic. I'd highly suggest him to future CARS mastery seekers.

Mehul was awesome!

Mehul was really wonderful to work with. I lacked a lot of confidence and was very burnt out from my MCAT prep and he renewed a lot of positive feelings and confidence. His strategies helped take some pressure off and just having a partner in this helped to get me out of my own head a bit. I would absolutely recommend Mehul as a tutor!

Thank you Adam

Thank you Adam
I had 3 sessions with Adam just a week before my MCAT exam. He helped me with strategies and ways to approach passages. It definitely helped me in my last practice exam which raised my confidence lot more than before for Test day.

Pooja was awesome!

Pooja was awesome!! She made me think about passages in a different way. She turned CARS into my worst section to one of my best. She truly prepares you on how to study and understand concepts that will help you in the future.

So important to find an encouraging mentor!

I had 3 sessions with Hieu and working and speaking with him really helped me increase my confidence. I have a lot of test anxiety especially in regards to the chem/phys section and working through strategies and tools with him for this section has been really helpful. I also really appreciated that he shared so many of the study resources (including study sheets, helpful websites, etc) that he had used and was really attentive to catering the sessions to my specific needs. We also spent time discussing test anxiety and the mental aspect of the MCAT and the support was really nice.

Thank you Adam!

Adam was a thoughtful tutor. From the start, he always spent extra time reviewing concepts and not leaving us hanging mid-passage because time was over. He was always accessible via email and was very responsive, which I appreciated.

Sessions were informative but also served as a way to unwind and talk to someone about your week/day, etc. which I always think is beneficial during times like these.

Adam definitely knows his material well and helped implement a ton of strategies. I recommend going to Adam for your MCAT needs!

A different perspective

The service helped with providing me with an extra perspective of how to navigate the process. Nice to have accountability and someone outside of family/friends to cheer you on.

I loved working with Hieu from mcat mastery! He is by far one of the kindest and most encouraging people I have met. He helped introduce some new strategies that I didn’t think of before meeting with him. They were in fact helpful when test taking! I highly recommend them.

I loved the process of getting a mentor through MCAT Mastery. My mentor Pooja, was exactly the confidence boost I needed going into my test. She gave me such valuable insight into specific strategies on how to succeed. She helped me so much with taking the articles section by section. I really appreciated her constant support and encouragement. Will be recommending this service to anyone taking the MCAT.

Score increased by 8 points after using MCAT Mastery materials!!

I wrote the MCAT 3 times, but only utilized MCAT Mastery materials during my third attempt. Several in-depth PDF's regarding how to approach different kinds of questions, high-yield questions, weekly emails with information about how to get into the right mindset to ace the exam, and even podcasts with high scorers were some of the things I used this year. Everything was incredibly helpful - it often isn't discussed about how important having the right outlook and mindset is for this exam. So grateful for MCAT Mastery and for coming across their resources!

I had Hieu as my tutor and he was beyond incredible. This was my second time studying for the MCAT and I was stuck at a score plateau for the longest time. When I met with Hieu, he really showed me that I knew the material and knew what I was doing, and that I needed to have more confidence and believe in myself, and would then see a difference in my score. So I took his advice and ended up breaking my plateau by 8 points!! I then met with him again and he gave me even more encouragement, tips and advice, and when I took the last practice test before my actual test date, I ended up increasing 4 points from the previous one! So I ended up with almost a 12 point increase during my time with Hieu and I cannot thank him enough for helping me and being a source of encouragement and support! He truly cares about his student and wants them to succeed, and is willing to do anything for them. He was truly an incredible tutor and I am so grateful to have had him as my tutor!!

My Experience With MCAT Mastery

Needless to say, the MCAT process is a very intimidating process and having the help from MCAT mastery not only helped me tremendously with my score but along with my mental health. Pooja has continued to motivate me throughout my journey and has helped me be honest with myself in understanding my strengths and weaknesses. She constantly ensured me that I am able to do it and provided me the tools I needed to gain the score I need. If you are looking for a tutor, I cannot recommend Pooja enough! She goes above and beyond for her students and will tailor your needs accordingly.

Great tips!

Although I have only met with Hieu once, he made sure to provide me with all the tools and motivation he could possibly think of to help me increase my score! I implemented some of his tips and already saw a score increase! I look forward to working with him again!

Mollie was a great tutor!

Mollie was a great tutor! Extremely encouraging, while still guiding me along difficult CARS passages. She helped me walk through my thought process step-by-step and was able to ease my nerves as I was able to take it. I would recommend Mollie as a tutor to anyone!

Sarah was an amazing tutor! I was so helpful to hear her experience taking the MCAT along with her amazing insight on how to approach the exam. She helped provide me with alternative routes to approach the exam which help reduce the stress and burden of taking the test. Additionally, Sarah allowed me to explain my concerns regarding specific areas of the exam and she helped tackle those with me. Overall, I have had a great time with MCAT Mastery!
