MedLife Mastery (formerly MCAT Mastery) レビュー 368

I wish I could rank this separately, but I’ll do my best.

Pros: The customer service and free materials were amazing, earning a solid 5/5. They quickly paired me with a different tutor when the first one missed appointments and attributed it to his complicated hospital schedule.

Cons: However, I wouldn't recommend their services unless you're proficient with Excel spreadsheets. My second tutor specialized solely in the spreadsheet method. Despite my previous struggles with that approach, he insisted that I try it again. He didn't help establish my strengths and weaknesses, and was more focused on having me write my wrong answers on the Excel sheet and going over those. Moreover, he was hesitant to explore other methods. As a result, I felt he prioritized the spreadsheet and tracking method over addressing my actual weak areas. This method didn’t align with my learning style, especially as I have difficulty applying content to questions and passages. Additionally, the week of the test, he advised me to reschedule, which was quite disheartening.

Ultimately, while the customer service was phenomenal, the tutoring did not meet my expectations. I had expressed my goal of achieving a 510, and they assured me that the tutors would help me reach it. Unfortunately, I only ended up with a 494. In hindsight, it seems I should have known it was too good to be true.

The one-on-one tutoring was truly so helpful and I had the best tutor, Emma!!! Emma was an incredible MCAT tutor! She was always so helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout my studying. She was super adaptive and attentive to my specific needs, helping me target my weaknesses and ultimately raise my score by 3 points! I also really appreciated how flexible she was—she made it easy to find times to meet and wasn’t super strict about session timing if we were in the middle of something important. Her encouragement and expertise made such a difference in my MCAT prep, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Saanya was a great tutor! With her help I was able to score six points above my goal score! If you want a tutor who helps you better understand how the MCAT questions are structured and how to answer them Saanya is a great choice.

I switched over to Kamaldeep after working with a different tutor who's teaching style did not align with my learning style. I could not be happier with changing my tutor. Kamaldeep was personable and engaging in every session - I never felt bad asking simple questions or needing information re-explained. I worked with him 2-3x a week leading up to my MCAT and feel like my understanding of the exam and content improved significantly! I would absolutely recommend him as a tutor for anybody needing MCAT support.

I highly recommend Sophie as an MCAT tutor. She was incredibly helpful and provided valuable guidance on how to approach reading the Bio/Biochem and Psych/Soc passages. Her teaching style was clear and effective, especially when it came to tackling passages with a lot of detailed information. Sophie taught me how to dissect complex details to understand the flow of pathways and concepts, which made a huge difference in my comprehension and confidence.

One feature I particularly appreciated was her use of “Fathom Video” to record our sessions. This allowed me to revisit our lessons whenever I needed to review concepts or strategies, which was a great resource. Sophie’s dedication and expertise were instrumental in helping me improve my MCAT preparation, and I’m very grateful for her support!

Sophie is the absolute best!!! She is patient, kind, and explains things in a way that helps you understand the content! This is my second time taking the MCAT and not once did Sophie make me feel bad about needing to retake the MCAT. My skills have improved so much since working with Sophie and I am so grateful that I got paired with her!! I highly, highly recommend having Sophie as your tutor!!! You will learn so much!!!!!

I did tutoring with Abraar and we had about 6 sessions. In just 2 weeks he helped me increase my score 5 points and helped me with strategy skills and complicated MCAT logic. Although my MCAT score did not end up being my goal score I’m grateful to Abraar for this improvement and for all of his support and help, and for being my cheerleader believing in me along the way! I recommend working with him if you need a confidence boost to push you forward and if you have specific questions on certain topics or need help coming up with a study plan. At the end of the day, it all comes down to the amount of work you put in focusing on your weakness and keeping up the momentum on your strengths, getting familiar with the testing style and timing, as well as a calm and confident mindset towards the test.

I worked with Srikar. He was amazing! Srikar gave me a list of frequent interview questions and then helped me bounce off ideas to formulate answers into clear, straight-forward responses.

Madison is amazing! The most important thing that I was lacking was confidence, and I needed help bad, so I turned to MedLife Mastery. After my first session with Madison, I was sure I made the right choice and over my last three weeks, she helped me with every aspect of the test, from strategy and content, to tips and calculations. By test day, I was much more confident that I had a chance of getting a better score than I was getting and I owe it to her. She was extremely attentive, kind, personable, and most importantly, nonjudgmental. Thank you so much Madison for your help!

Before MedLife Mastery matched me with Mollie and Sophie, I plateaued around 496 and had 4 weeks until test day. My sciences were wonky and CARS would not pass 123. Sophie and Mollie were relatable, not-judgemental, knowledgable and took the time to understand my issues. They quickly responded to emails, changed my mindset, and supported me each step of the way. With their guidance and encouragement, I broke 500 (all sections 125+) and continued going up. Each tutor gave me strategies that changed the way I approached discrete and passage-based questions.

With Sophie, I really enjoyed the instant feedback and HW. The instant feedback helped me be more efficient while the HW strengthened weaker content areas. With Mollie, I enjoyed doing the passages together. She was able to see where I slowed down and provide tips.

I am thankful for working with these ladies. I highly recommend these ladies to all students. For me, they were perfect and I would not change anything about their methods.

I am so glad I chose MedLife Mastery to help me on this journey. Madison was a great tutor. She not only went over practice questions with me but presented strategies in a helpful manner. I would recommend MedLife to anyone taking the MCAT, it really serves as an informative platform for a confidence boost.

I really enjoyed my tutor as she gave me a lot of helpful tips and guided me through my practice and how to deal with questions that I missed. She also helped me the application and personal statement which helped.

Working with Madison gave me both a confidence boost in my own skills and honed in on my test-taking approach within the last 3 weeks leading up to my exam. She gave me great direction when navigating complex Chem/Phys sections, which are usually the most difficult for me. She provided a safe space for me to say "I have no idea" and helped me begin to say "I can do this" with clear-cut strategies of how to approach a daunting passage. She also broke down lengthy and intimidating CARS passages and provided me with specific skills to eliminate incorrect answers which lead to higher CARS scores overall. Having a mentor who is there to encourage you when you are doubting yourself is a huge benefit on your MCAT journey. Thanks Madison!!!

Mishika was a great tutor to work with! A lot of my issues stem from simply staying on track and keeping to personal deadlines. So for me, a big part of getting a tutor was to have someone keep my accountable through the process. Mishiki got to know me and my specific needs. We put together a plan right away and adjusted as needed. She listened to my struggles and tried to give personal advice. She was kind enough to share her personal experiences which was motivating as we are both retakers. I would highly recommend Mishika for other students! Overall, Medlife Mastery was a good company to work with. A lot of how the program was advertised spoke to me and felt relatable, which made it easy to choose to work with. The daily emails were helpful and the motivation emails were on point. Thank you Mishika and MedLife Mastery in my journey to becoming a doctor!

Saanya was a great tutor. I really felt like she was knowledgeable and able to help me understand what little things I was missing. She was super supportive and great to work with!

Saanya was a wonderful tutor! She helped me realize that I had the content knowledge to do well on the MCAT. This gave me the confidence to focus on improving my test-taking strategies. Our sessions were constructive and collaborative. Saanya believed in my skills and my study planning and was supportive throughout the sessions.

Jillian was super helpful and adjusted her schedule and our study plan to make sure it worked for me! I understood the material so much better because of her help and resources.

I joined Medlife Mastery about 3 weeks out from my test date where I was super frustrated about not seeing any progress in my full lengths and feeling very down. After meeting with my tutor for the first time, she made me feel so much better and throughout our sessions has really helped me improve my skills as well as structure these last few weeks leading up to my test. I've seen huge improvements in multiple of my mcat sections and I love the daily emails with the mneumonics and daily questions from Medlife mastery. I definitely recommend this is you are feeling a bit lost in your test strategy or need some extra support!

In the middle of my studies, I was unsure about pursuing tutoring for the MCAT. I wasn't sure if it would help or even be worth it but I figured I had nothing to lose. I am so glad I made that decision! My tutor helped me to realize that improvement is possible and that I was capable of it. She gave a lot of great insight on the exam, especially CARS which has helped me go from that being my worst section to my best. I realized there was a way to crack this test. We went through passage walkthroughs and she showed me lots of strategies that make the test more manageable. It helps so much to hear someone else's way of thinking and to be guided in how to approach seemingly impossible questions. Even more, the resources and emails MedLife sends are super helpful. The questions of the day span a variety of topics and they even give handy mnemonics to help memorize certain terms. I would definitely suggest anyone who is in a slump like I was to try MedLife Mastery.

I was so fortunate to have Smrithi as a tutor. She was able to explain concepts with real life applications and it made it easier for me to understand material :)
