Cadence R. says, "What I like about working with I Really Hate Math Incorporated is Mr. Pitassi’s technique in tutoring in which it’s simple and straightforward yet very informative. I’ve had two tutors in the past but had never felt more supported or engaged with the knowledge, patience, and positivity that Mr. Pitassi brings to every tutoring session. His teaching technique overall has made me more confident in the class. I would highly recommend him as your tutor." Read more

Matias C. says, "Rudy is the best tutor I've ever had. He worked with me for multiple years to help me relearn math. I decided to undertake the process of relearning all my math for university due to my weak foundation and my condition called dyscalculia. He helped me go back from the basics to university calculus and statistics. Rudy is constantly looking for ways to adapt his teaching methods to your specific situations. He is also very proactive in looking at what materials you will look at next and helping you prepare for them. I can't recommend him enough." Read more

Kangsoo Y. says, "We just moved to the US from Korea and the change has been very tough for my kids. They are not familiar with the US school system and falling behind. I saw their confidence draining. But all of that changed when SoFlo came into the picture. To start, they gave a free assessment so they could figure out where my children were struggling. From there we had weekly tutoring sessions that my kids actually enjoy. I am seeing their confidence return and life in the US get better for them" Read more

Sumei S. says, "Thomas Keevan helped my high school son who was struggling with an online Linear Algebra (college course) - where there was little instruction. My son came to him nearly half way through the course - and Thomas was able to quickly zoom in on areas where my son was confused on (in his free session!). I had given Thomas the syllabus and schedule of course load in the morning. He took nearly the entire day - then advised me that he would like to go through a few questions to see where my son was. Throughout his session(s) he was very detailed and encouraging. At the same time, he tried to make sure my son would try the work first and only interfere when he knew that my son's logic is going the wrong path. He is patient and continuously tries to confirm that the student understands the concepts before jumping to the next. He also gave him practice questions before his exams to help him gage the types of questions (since the topic was so broad and applied through many sciences.) Thomas genuinely is a kind and smart tutor. He is one of the best I have seen (and I am Asian) and he also offers his services at very competitive prices. We were able to pass with a "B" which is wonderful - considering my son was going to give up! We will keep Thomas in our rolodex and be sure to use him again for both our sons in future!" Read more

There's a little "curse of knowledge" going on--ie, the assumption that I know more than I really do---but we work together to overcome that. Additionally, my tutor suggested some behavioral habits and minor diet changes that actually worked for me. I will be working with my tutor, Fred, again!" Read more

Your MCAT Tutoring questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

How much does an MCAT tutor cost?

MCAT tutors charge an average of $50 to $150 per hour. Tutors provide personalized, one-on-one, or small group instruction to help you prepare for the MCAT. They may focus on test-taking strategies, review practice materials, and help you improve your performance on practice tests.

Some students hire a tutor who specializes in the subjects where they are weakest. For example, if chemistry is your lowest-scoring area, you may hire a tutor to help you with that section of the MCAT only. Some tutors may offer package deals for multiple sessions or long-term commitments.

What is the MCAT?

The MCAT is a standardized computer test that most medical schools require for admission. It is given throughout the year at Pearson VUE testing centers around the world. Medical schools use MCAT scores to gauge a student's readiness for the challenges of medical school. 

The 6-hour, 15-minute test has four multiple-choice sections that assess a student's knowledge of chemistry and physics, biology and biochemistry, psychology and social behavior, and critical reasoning skills.

How long is the MCAT?

The MCAT is an all-day exam. The actual seated time for the exam is 7 hours 30 minutes, which includes instructions and breaks in between sections. While these breaks are optional, they are recommended. The actual testing time is 6 hours and 15 minutes long for the 4 sections.

What is a good MCAT score?

A good MCAT score depends on the school you want to attend. The median MCAT score is 500 on a scale from 472 to 528. The highest-ranked med schools typically have higher average score requirements. Less competitive medical schools take students with lower scores.

Most students attempt to score as well as or better than the average score of admitted students. The higher the average score at your preferred school, the higher you will need to score to have a chance at admission to their program.

What is on the MCAT?

The MCAT has 4 sections designed to test your science knowledge, including:

  • Biological and Biochemical foundations of Living Systems– This 95 minute section includes 59 multiple-choice questions about biology, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry concepts.
  • Chemical and Physical foundations of Biological Systems– This 95 minute section includes 59 multiple-choice questions about biology, organic and inorganic chemistry, and physics concepts.
  • Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior Section – This 95 minute section includes 59 multiple-choice questions about psychology, sociology, and biology concepts.
  • Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills Section – This 90 minute section includes 53 multiple-choice questions that test your comprehension, analysis, and reasoning skills by asking you to analyze information provided in written passages.

How hard is the MCAT?

The difficulty of the MCAT depends on how well you are prepared, your familiarity with the test content, and your abilities as a test-taker. The test is considered difficult because it is a full day exam covering a vast number of scientific topics.

The test is high stakes since the score can determine your admission to medical school. This pressure to do well, along with the time-pressure of the test itself, make it one of the hardest exams you will ever take.

How many times can you take the MCAT?

Students are permitted to take the MCAT 7 times in their lifetime. Additionally, your attempts are limited to 3 times in a single testing year, or 4 times in a two-year period. No shows or void attempts are included in these limits.

A voided attempt is when you choose at the end of the exam to not have your attempt scored. Students use this option when they feel they performed poorly and do not want that score to count on their permanent record. Instead, they void the exam and are not scored. The test attempt counts toward the annual limit, but the possibly low score is not recorded for medical schools to see.

How to save money on the MCAT?

Here are some helpful suggestions that can save you money on your MCAT costs:

  • Apply for financial aid through the AAMC Fee Assistance Program.
  • Keep your original test date and testing site to avoid costly rescheduling fees. If you must make changes, do it as early as possible to avoid higher fees.
  • Use free or low-cost study materials rather than more costly MCAT tutors or prep courses.
  • Prepare well to ensure a good score on your first test attempt. Test attempts are costly and limited.

What questions should I ask an MCAT tutor?

Some questions you should ask a potential MCAT tutor include:

  • How much is your tutoring rate per hour?
  • Do you offer packages or discounts for long-term commitments?
  • What is your educational background?
  • Have you taken the MCAT yourself?
  • How long have you been an MCAT tutor?
  • Have you been able to help students improve their MCAT scores?
  • What is your teaching style?
  • Do you tailor your approach to my learning style?
  • What study materials do you include?
  • Will you provide practice tests to gauge my improvement?
  • What is your availability? Will we meet in person or online?

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daugher was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!

We have used John for both of my sons from middle school all through high school. John finds ways to help you relate to a problem and to break it down into easier understanding. My older son has just graduated high school with Math being one of his highest scoring subjects.

He is a very patient and experienced tutor who makes a tough subject like college level calculus enjoyable. He is able to explain step by step in a thorough fashion and always invites questions. His help in Calculus has been fundamental to my successful this semester, without it I would be totally lost. Thanks George!

Pallu P.
Amazing! I was really struggling with both the mathematics section of the SAT and PCAT. Knowledge tutoring helped identify my weaknesses, and focus my time and energy in solving those types of problems - fast and efficiently. The strategy and approach is important to master, and those are the key takeaways I learned. Additionally, you want to work with someone that cares as much as you do. You need someone that is committed, energetic, and willing to put forth the time and energy to help you when you need assistance. Great tutor - would highly recommend!
