Gabe

MCAT CARS Strategy Tutor — 526-Scorer

When I talk to people about CARS, I often hear the same thing: “I’ve tried everything and my score won’t budge”. But after we work together for a while, they do improve. That’s because I’ve painstakingly analyzed every CARS passage the AAMC has released and put together a strategy that WORKS. This is the same strategy I used to score a 132 in CARS and that I have taught to many students. Ultimately, CARS is a skill that can be taught just like any other part of the MCAT. Here’s how I do it... Read more

Charlotte

Tutor with a degree in Modern Literature

I have a bachelor's degree in Modern Literature from UC Santa Cruz. Starting in high school, I had tutors help me in so many different subjects. In college, tutors became my peers. The one thing that separated the great tutors from the good ones was good communication. I'm a big fan of listening to a student's specific goals and then creating a plan that will fit their learning style. Because of this method, I like to ask new students a lot of questions regarding what their long-term and shor... Read more

Paola

Italian, bilingual, patient teacher.

Having an Italian father and an American mother I had to grow up bilingual. Half of the family only spoke Italian and the other half English. I grew up in Italy so I know the language and the culture and the differences between living in Italy and in the US. Subtle differences such as when you're offered something saying "yes, thank you" as opposed to "yes, please". I know first hand the challenges, and benefits, of handling 2 different languages, and as I teach Italian to my adoptive niece... Read more
