I’ve had an incredible experience with this MCAT tutoring company. From day one, the tutor Luke has made my entire study process more simple and manageable. He takes the time to explain any difficult concepts and all of the questions I have. The resources provided in this program are clear, high-yield, and very easy to read and understand. They are also affordable. The tutor is very supportive and great at teaching. Highly recommend this company!

Luke helped me prepare for my MCAT I recently took this May. Not only does he have outstanding resources that synthesize high-yield content, but he also teaches strategies to retain information. Luke had a flexible schedule that accommodated my busy school and work responsibilities. He was very easy to contact throughout the process. Overall, a great tutor and highly recommend for MCAT tutoring and prep!

I found Luke after two previous MCAT attempts. During the second attempt, my score actually went down, so I knew I needed to do a complete rehaul of my studying for the third attempt. I met with Luke, discussed my previous experiences with the exam, and he created a very detailed study schedule with me, with goals for the content I needed to understand, and he also implemented regular assessments to check for understanding. The PDFs that were associated with his instruction were also very helpful, and the studying techniques he talked about are some that I continue to use today. Luke was a very encouraging, supportive mentor who was dedicated to helping his students succeed and tailoring his teaching to their unique needs. I highly recommend Luke, whether you're looking for guidance on how to start studying or a final push to get your MCAT score where you need it to be.

I cannot recommend Luke and Ancient Brains Tutoring enough! I tried studying for the MCAT with no tutor for about a year and saw almost no improvement no matter how much time I put in. After working with Luke, the guidance, materials and support that he provided me with allowed me to increase 21 points from my first diagnostic to the actual test day. What you can get from Luke and not anywhere else is a 24hr person to text about any problem or question and someone who you can simply ask “do I really need to know this” on those silly low yield problems you might come across rather than spending 2 hours on a Reddit rabbit hole trying to figure out if it is important or not. If you are considering working with Luke, I promise you that you will see wonderful results if you do and I urge everyone reading this to utilize him as an incredible resource. I never thought I would be able to score highly before I met Luke, but on test day I ended up scoring higher than I ever thought was possible.

Luke was a great tutor! I was able to go up 22 points in four months and I wouldn't have been able to do it without him. Luke helped me by condensing high yield material into easy to learn pdfs, using the science of learning/memory to guide my study methods, and providing a wealth of MCAT expertise from his own experience that those of former students. In addition to being an expert on how to memorize content efficiently, Luke was also just great at easing my anxiety and helping my keep a positive attitude. I would absolutely recommend Luke to anyone studying for the MCAT, especially if you've got a short timeline.

Luke was a great tutor! His shortened PDFs allowed me to focus on high yield material and learn it all in a relatively short period of time. Luke was always easily accessible to answer questions over text, and during meetings, he always had clear explanations to my questions and would review difficult concepts with me. I would highly recommend using Luke’s PDFs to study, and my sessions with him were always helpful.

I definitely recommend using Luke as your MCAT tutor. First of all, the shortened PDFs he provides make it way easier to study compared to reading through hundreds of pages of textbook PDFs. He gives you all the high-yield info you need to know, and leaves out the stuff that's a waste of time. He is very encouraging and explains things super well. He is also always available for quick questions over text, which was nice. He helped raise my score 12 points in 3 months, and I think it would have gone up even more with more time.

Luke’s tutoring method was crucial to my success on the MCAT. I jumped 19 points from my first AAMC test to my final score, and jumped 3 points from the last practice exam I took to test day. He is flexible with scheduling and timing, his content includes only the most important/necessary details, he makes sure you get tons of practice with actual test problems, and does not allow you to move on to the next topic without fully understanding the previous one. I think that last piece was the most helpful part of Luke’s tutoring because it made sure that I was able to explain things to myself and without that I wouldn’t be able to apply concepts to the exam.
