[TPROnline]

Welcome to Test Prep Week. Please find information below on our Course, Prep Options, Raffle, and Mailing List.

WHAT YOU KNOW CAN BE IMPROVED BY WHO YOU KNOW
After 48 hours of one-on-one intensive learning with our specialist instructors, you will get a great score on the MCAT. The best part is, you can do it from the comfort of your dorm room, armchair, or favorite haunt! Our Online MCAT tutoring program means you're working with the best, from the best materials, at a pace and in an environment that fits you, your lifestyle and your schedule.

Make an informed decision – your MCAT score deserves as much. You don’t believe us? Our students score an average of 30 on the MCAT, and 96% of our students would recommend us to others.* In addition, if you take our course and aren't happy with your score, you can take our entire course again for free. That's our guarantee. If you still don’t believe us? Then put our Hyperlearning MCAT course up against the competition.

Online Private Tutoring for the MCAT, by the Numbers

3-5 Number of Expert Instructors
You will be tutored by a team of specialists, each of whom is an expert in his or her specific field. Our instructors are screened, trained, and certified. Other companies may have only 1 teacher. Plus we think it’s worthless having rock star instructors unless you can spend quality one-on-one time with them. You’ll have your instructor’s cell phone number and e-mail address, and you’ll be able to reach him any time.

48 Hours of One-on-One Instruction

You decide how you split up your 48 hours of 1 on 1 time. Want to focus on Verbal and spend less time on Organic Chem? Sure, why not? The point is, this is YOUR TUTORIAL, you make the game plan (with the help of your private army of experts, of course). And the best part? There's no commute involved.

17 Practice Tests
The only way you’ll know how you’ll do on the MCAT is by taking a real test. That’s why you’ll have unlimited access to all 8 AAMC exams as well our 9 full-length, computer-based MCATs with detailed score reports and complete with annotations.

4300 Pages of Material
Comprehensive up-to date materials with review, practice passages and questions, complete with full explanations.

24/7 Online Access
We give you the tools to study any time, any place through your Online Student Center, which includes extra drills (6 additional MCATs' worth of subject-specific drills), materials, and explanations.

do students do better using private tutoring versus TPR's course program? Just wondering if there was any data about that

do students do better using private tutoring versus TPR's course program? Just wondering if there was any data about that

While I don't have any specific numbers on this (although somebody else that is trolling will), my observations after teaching Hyperlearning MCAT classes, the Ultimate MCAT class, standard private tutoring, and now online private tutoring is that the performance level in the classes AND the tutoring is about the same. There are distinct advantages to both classes and private tutoring however.

The classes offer a normal classroom enviroment for those who prefer it and has a great socratic dialog that keeps the brain power pumping. You can also meet others who are in the same boat as you and we see many valuable study partnerships form.

The private tutoring is more directed toward the specific needs of the individual and can focus on some subjects more than others if the student so decides. It is also an excellent option if there are no classes offered in your area - we can even tutor you overseas (I just finished a tutorial with a student in Taiwan)!

In either case, you get teachers who really DO care about how you are doing in your studies and your future performance on the MCAT. All of the teachers have access to tools with which they can track your progress and keep current on the individuals in their classes or that they tutor.

With the hours, do you choose when you want to use them? How does that work?

I always give a new tutoring student a suggested way to divide up the hours and when to use them but in the end the student makes the final decision.

I should point out that the best preparation is to space out your tutoring sessions so that you last sessions with each tutor is within a week or two of the test you intend to take. This keeps the material the freshest in your head and keeps you from burning yourself out.

Hello TPR:
How often is the material updated (i.e., latest tests)? Also, what is a typical schedule for the 48 hours? Thanks for your answer.

Hello TPR:
How often is the material updated (i.e., latest tests)?

The reviews and workbooks are updated on an alternating every other year schedule so both are updated every two years. The online exams depend on the availability of new exams from AAMC.

Also, what is a typical schedule for the 48 hours? Thanks for your answer.

I usually suggest the following as a starting point...

10 hrs Bio
8 hrs GChem
6 hrs OChem
9 hrs Physics
9 hrs Verbal
6 hrs Extra time to use as necessary

This mirrors the number of class sessions (on a 1 class to 1 hr basis) that a person would get taking the Hyperlearning class. Keep in mind that this is a guideline and that specific concerns of the tutoring student will more directly alter this schedule. If a student wants to spend more time on GChem as that is a difficult subject for them, that is what we do. It is all customized.

Do you use the same materials as the TPR classes?

The materials for tutoring are exactly the same as for the classes.
