Our Core Value:

Personalization

Tired of “one-size-fits-all” prep programs that pace everyone according to the average student? We were too, which is why we chose personalization of the entire MCAT prep process as the foremost guiding principle for our entire company.

From the initial consultation, our experts take the time to learn about YOU so we can tailor an approach that accounts for your weaknesses, exploits your strengths, curates your resources, optimizes your study habits, and accommodates your goals and responsibilities.

The result? An MCAT prep plan that adapts to perfect complement your efforts every step of the way to maximally leverage the hundreds of hours you invest.

Enabling Personalization:

Expertise

The biggest names in our industry build their generic prep courses around instructors with scores in the 518-521 range. While these are great scores, they don't indicate the expertise necessary to teach MCAT at a high level. Rather, these individuals shine brightest when teaching from scripted lesson plans.

At 1SM, we’ve abandoned scripted sessions. In their stead, we’ve staffed our team with true experts, all of whom have scored far above the 99.9th %tile (525+).

Objectively speaking, we employ the most qualified tutors and coaches in the industry. And that is how we’re able to personalize your approach.

Efficient Prep Promise

We keep meticulous track of time spent in meetings with students and only ever charge for "time spent efficiently." This means we'll never bill you for small talk, managing your study plan, or fielding text messages and/or emails between sessions. When you purchase tutoring hours with 1SM, you can expect to get at least 110% of what you bargained for-- guaranteed, with no strings attached.

Data-Driven Prep Plans

All 1SM tutoring packages come with complimentary UWorld subscriptions. Throughout the prep process, we monitor students' practice question performance data via our UWorld faculty portal. This provides objective metrics for gauging your progress and determining how to best leverage your time and effort. We then adapt your prep plan to reflect these data, optimizing your approach in the most personalized, evidence-based manner possible.

Student Testimonials

The 1SM team were honestly an integral part of studying for my MCAT. The prep course I took with another company prior to doing tutoring with 1SM felt really rushed and I felt like I wasn’t learning enough for the amount of time I put in. With 1SM, Joe was able to help me hand tailor a study schedule and work out the little issues that I had in all my sections. I also thought him and the rest of his tutors were extremely helpful, and were able to answer my questions quickly and concisely. They all have such an amazing grasp on the MCAT material, which definitely made my tutoring time a lot more efficient as well.

I honestly recommend 1SM to every single person I meet that says they need a tutor for the MCAT, simply because of how great my experience was. My score on the test after tutoring with them also jumped 11 points, so if none of what I said previously was convincing enough I think that on its own speaks volumes.

I really appreciated working with Joe to study for the MCAT. He was able to help me improve my score about 16 points and was incredibly flexible and understanding given my hectic schedule. Would highly recommend 1source medicine to anyone in need of reliable MCAT tutoring!

I worked with Joe and a few other tutors from 1 Source Medicine for about 2 months in preparation for my MCAT.

From the consultation till the very last meeting, Joe’s intentions were clear that he wanted his students to succeed. He was always flexible with meeting time and even stayed longer for any questions or concerns I had. Personally, C/P was my toughest section and he was the only person/resource that made it understandable. As a result, my scores significantly increased over the course of the 2 months.

Also, working with other equally knowledgeable tutors allowed me to learn different strategies that I was able to successfully implement in my studies. The MCAT is truly a beast which is why I would highly recommend 1 Source Medicine to anyone to help accomplish their MCAT goals.

When I stumbled upon 1sourcemedicine.com I told my parents it would be worth the discounted price of admission even if the service were only half as good as advertised. Two months later, and I'm realizing that it is far better than I could have hoped... even better than the advertisements claim!

As an engineering major, I found other MCAT prep programs to be wholly insufficient in terms difficulty surrounding physical science prep. Simultaneously, they lacked the level of attention I needed in biosciences.

1SM was quite the opposite! They listened to me every step of the way, modifying any semblance of default curriculum to meet my needs every step of the way. I just received my official score report (522) and could not be more grateful for their investment in my future!
