Emma's Tutoring

Emma was very thorough and gave comprehensive tips and advice for my weaker areas in my MCAT studying. She met me where I was and was flexible and adaptive to my learning style. She was definitely instrumental in helping me achieve great progress in improving my score.

1:1 Tutoring and Strategy Course

Purchased the 3 Session 1:1 Tutoring and Strategy Course package for the three months leading up to my MCAT. I was paired with Madison and felt like she was very accessible and helpful in my study process. The Medlife Mastery strategy videos were very helpful as it provided me with new insights that I think directly contributed to greater success. From the 1:1 tutoring I was able to develop a functional and realistic study plan with helpful walkthroughs on passages to highlight areas to work on. Overall, my experience was very positive and felt like my studying greatly improved after enrolling.

I was paired with Charlotte and I can honestly say she is a master at CARS. Her last minute strategy was the reason I was able to score above all my Full Lenght exams on test day for the CARS section! With her encouragement and friendly demeanor, I was able to overcome my own self-doubt and achieve a 512 on test day which I am very happy with. Thank you MedLife Mastery!!

Olivia was extremely helpful and in the little time we had together I saw tremendous growth especially in the area of being confidence. She helped reason through passages as an AAMC test maker which was difference from other tutors I have worked with in the past.

I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with Kamal! He not only provided me with the tools and strategies to approach each section of the MCAT effectively, but also helped me build a realistic study schedule that truly maximized my preparation. I’m especially thankful for the additional resources he shared for sections I struggled with the most, like Chem/Phys. His kindness and support kept me focused and motivated.

Confidence with MCAT tutoring

I like working with Maryann because she is invaluable and patient. She helped me with figuring out a realistic study plan and how to cope with anxiety. Before tutoring, I was frustrated with CARS passages and not having the right strategies down. During a Mcat tutoring session, she reviewed different strategies for going through CARS. This gave me the confidence to tackle a CARS passage. Overall, my CARS improved, as she helped me to figure out my mistakes. I would recommend Maryann to someone else in their MCAT studying.

Supportive and Down to Earth!

Abraar has really helped me improve my CARS skills. He is also willing to talk through any concept I ask about, which has been super helpful when reviewing past questions I struggled with. We worked a lot with dissecting the questions and finding evidence to support why or why not answers were right/wrong. I'm excited to show off my skills on my exam on Friday!!

Wish I found Kamal sooner!

Wish I found Kamal sooner!

Had I, I am certain I would have shed infinitely less tears and instead, I would have been on the path I am now on.

Kamal took all of my MCAT confusion, stagnation, score plateaus and frustration and turned them into a workable schedule, on a very tight timetable.

His guidance is kind yet firm, reminding me of the power of my words. When I say something negative about my journey, he kindly redirects me into the way I can rephrase my frustrations into a powerful, memorable phrase.

He comes into the session well prepared, yet very amenable and flexible to meet my needs. He does not demand that he speak over me, lesson plan/YouTube style, but rather, he ensures I am fully comprehending every step of what he is offering.

He paces according to what I need in the moment and he is so sharp and quick with tools to take the guesswork out of the logistics of studying.

I wish I could give Kamal millions of stars!

___
Full transparency: I was paired to a different tutor initially who, while they were very technically proficient and knowledgeable, I could not ask questions during the session as they held rigid their prepared lesson plan, despite my request to move onto a different topic.

I requested to switch to Kamal and customer service was exceptionally easy and truly matched their "no hard feelings" policy. I am so grateful for Kamal's help!

Madison!

It was very nice how Madison really understood where my weaknesses were and catered to that. It didn't seem like a one method for all, it was more so tailored to me, which helped me boost my score. Doing practice questions with her really helped and she made me understand the MCAT logic a bit more!

Kamal is the GOAT!!!

Kamal is a total superstar. After jumping from multiple methods of studying previously, Kamal sat me down and walked me through how to actually use my resources to their fullest potential. I felt more confident because I had a mentor like Kamal to show me the ropes and keep me on schedule. He makes me feel normal and seen, and I feel like I can be myself around him because of his kind character.

As this is my first time taking the MCAT, I was unsure about how to study the right way. Kamal believes in me, and with that I am starting to believe more in myself every day. Kamal is a pleasure and I highly recommend him.

I purchased 10 1-on-1 sessions for MCAT tutoring and was very pleased with the level of customization, support, coaching I got. Abraar is a great tutor and I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs to increase their MCAT score. My score jumped from 497 to 506 in about 6 weeks, so if you’ve got more time I would expect to see a bigger jump.

Great package for MCAT preparation

Medlife Mastery offers excellent videos on analyzing CARS passages and how to tackle each question type. It's a great starter to learning the strategies to do well on the MCAT. They have weekly emails with motivating stories of successful students performing well on the test and free resources to help with memorizing content. Highly recommend!

Mehul was spectacular

Mehul was spectacular. He made me see this exam in ways I never thought. His thorough breakdowns of questions and passage analysis is what helped me a lot. He taught me how to not just look for the right answer but also explain why the other answers were wrong. Thanks to Mehul I got the score I needed to get into my program. There’s no aha moment for the MCAT I think. You gradually pick it up and Mehul taught me that process.

Zach was an exceptional MCAT tutor!

Zach was an exceptional MCAT tutor who transformed my approach to the exam, especially in tackling complex passages! His guidance on breaking down difficult text and focusing on key elements significantly improved my reading comprehension. Zach's personalized study plan fit seamlessly into my busy schedule, optimizing my use of resources. His strategies for time management and positive reinforcement kept me motivated throughout my preparation. What was most impressive was how he helped me transition from a struggling student to a confident test-taker in a remarkably short period. With his support, I was able to stay on track with our tailored study schedule leading up to the exam date, which was crucial in maintaining my focus and momentum. As a result, my study methods evolved dramatically, and I achieved a score that exceeded my target. I'm incredibly grateful for Zach's expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for the MCAT.

Waste of time and money

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.

First off, thank you for your constructive feedback. Seriously, we really appreciate that you took the time to explain your experience rather than just venting. It means a lot, and it helps us get better.

Reading your story honestly makes us feel incredibly disappointed in ourselves. We started MedLife Mastery to help students who are in the same position we once were—to be the mentors we wish we had. And in your case, we feel like we let you down. That’s not okay with us.

To address a few things: we give our mentors the ability to use their own teaching methods alongside our strategies because we’ve found that this works better than the rigid, one-size-fits-all approach that bigger companies use. But we also know that means every tutor has their own specialty, which doesn’t always match every student’s learning style. That’s exactly why we let students switch tutors early, at any time, as many times as they want. If you look at our other reviews, you’ll see students with very different experiences depending on their tutor—because each tutor has their own style. That’s what makes us different and, for most students, more effective.

That being said, a tutor’s job is to adapt to the student, not the other way around. If they were enforcing a method that clearly wasn’t working for you, that’s not acceptable, and we take responsibility for that. You shouldn’t have had to struggle through an approach that wasn’t clicking.

We also want to acknowledge that we personally match each student with their tutor (no automated algorithm like other companies), and while we truly believe this is more effective, sometimes we don’t get it right. That’s another reason why we encourage tutor switches, but we recognize that if a student isn’t aware of that option or doesn’t feel comfortable asking, it can lead to an experience like yours. That’s something we need to do better on.

Your feedback isn’t just going to sit here; we’re making sure every mentor is reminded of the importance of flexibility so that no student has to go through what you did. Your experience is going to help future students avoid the same frustration.

Now, more importantly, we want to make this right. And not because we want you to change your review—we’re not asking for that. We just want to help you get the score you deserve so you can get into medical school.

If you’re planning to retake the MCAT, please reach out to us. We’d love to do something to make this right, and you can decide if you want to take us up on it. Even if you’re moving forward with applications instead, let us know—we can help with that too. And just so you know, we totally respect your privacy. If you reach out, we won’t tell your tutor unless you’re okay with it.

We’re really sorry you had to go through this. Whether you reach out or not, we hope and pray that you crush it. Whether that’s with us or even one of our competitors. At the end of the day, the goal is for you to become a doctor, and we’ll always be cheering for you.

Helpful tutoring!

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!
