I took MCAT with the help of Doctor Donelly (Stuart). He is a fantastic tutor and he actually made the lessons enjoyable! I come from a humanities background, so I didn't have a solid foundation of even the most basic concepts in Physics or Chemisty but within a short period of time I was starting to feel much more confident. During our first lesson, Stuart accurately assessed my level of understanding and created a study plan that combined learning basic topics and applying them to typical MCAT passages. He made it all seem so easy! Stuart exhibited a thorough knowledge of all of the material and used lots of easily understood examples to illustrate the more abstract and difficult concepts. Stuart was also extremely reliable - he was always on time and well prepared for each lesson. We also had several lessons via Skype as well as meeting in-person, which was very convenient for my schedule. In summary, Dr. Donelly is a brilliant educator - only only does he have an extensive depth and breadth of knowledge in all the MCAT topics (he has a Phd from Oxford University after all!) but he is also able to understand where you're coming from and teach the material in a way you will understand. His dedication to helping each of his students is obvious - he understands how important this is to you, and is genuinely committed to your success. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone! read more

Doctor MCAT is simply the best tutoring services I have every experienced. When most people are looking for a tutor, they generally head over to places like Kaplan because we have all heard of them due to their expensive marketing campaigns, but I wasn't convinced - the value simply isn't there. So that why I decided to give Doctor MCAT a go instead. Dr. Donnely is a professional every step of the way. Stuart is one of the leading experts in his field and has almost 20 years of experience tutoring students for the MCAT - and it shows! He was patient, and funny, and knowledgable in every section of the MCAT and he was happy to explain things to me as often as I needed without judgements. He is veery personable and generous with his time. I actually found myself looking forward to our lessons! He's the absolute BEST tutor in every way. When I expressed embarrassment at my low original scores, he reassured me that my MCAT score was not reflective of who I was in any way. He taught me the right strategies for each section of the MCAT including the CARS section and the Physical Sciences section (which I had always hated!) which made things a lot clearer. It also freed me to ask all questions and not be ashamed because I knew he wasn't going to judge me. I have recommended Dr. Donnelly to at least three other people and they tell me they are just as happy as I am. read more

My daughter just got her MCAT score back and she scored an amazing 527!!! Her school is actually going to present her with an award since this is the highest MCAT score ever recorded by a student in the history of Duke University. Needless to say, we are over the moon and can't thank Dr. Donnelly enough for all the help and support he gave my daughter during her MCAT studies. Neha worked with Stuart for the past few months and found his teaching style and customized approach invaluable. His strategies really helped her deal with the awkward structure of the exam, and her CARS score improved tremendously. Stuart's lessons were always well-planned, and he even set up a study schedule with regular practice exams to keep her on track. He was also flexible with times and dates and worked around her busy school schedule. Neha told me that Stuart's relaxed but engaging teaching style helped her stay focused on the correct material, and she actually began looking forward to her lessons with him. As a parent, I found Stuart to be responsive to my calls and inquiries and tailored each session to what she needed as an individual instead of following a rigid study format. I highly recommend Dr. Donnelly to anyone whose son or daughter must greatly improve their MCAT score. read more

Review for Stuart, MCAT Tutor: I've journeyed through various test prep companies in my quest to conquer the MCAT, but partnering with Stuart was, hands down, the best investment I've ever made. After taking the MCAT multiple times without the results I hoped for, Stuart became my lifeline. He created a tailored study schedule for me, zoomed in on my weak areas, and turned them into strengths. His exceptional blend of deep knowledge and relatability helped break down even the most daunting concepts. With his help, I not only surpassed the 70th percentile in most MCAT sections, but I also achieved a remarkable 10-point score boost overall. More than just the scores, Stuart empowered me with lifelong learning skills and boosted my confidence immeasurably. How I wish I'd discovered him sooner! While my MCAT journey has reached its successful conclusion, I'll definitely keep in touch with Stuart and will wholeheartedly refer other students to him. Thank you, Stuart, for being the guiding light on my MCAT path! read more

Before finding Dr. Donnelly, I was sitting around 500 on all of my practice tests. I was looking for an MCAT tutor online, and came across his website by chance. After our first online session, I knew that his unique approach would help me reach my end goal. We spent many hours doing as many practice questions as possible for the 4 sections. Out of the four sections, CARS has always been the trickiest for me. We worked together for countless hours on as many passages as possible, going through proper note-taking, as well as how to read through a longer passage. I also appreciated that I was given access to several different question banks. Not only did I never run out of questions to do, but I was able to attempt a lot of questions for all subjects, both high and low yield. In the end, not only was I able to score in the 80th percentile, but I was able to increase my score by 11 points. I am very thankful for Dr. Donnelly's help, and I recommend him to anyone that is struggling with their MCAT preparation. read more

Dr. Donnelly is a wonderful teacher! I came across him just three months before my exam in desperate need of a strategy to improve my CARS score (which had been stuck at 121/122 for months) . Stuart's unique approach to teaching CARS is amazing and totally unlike the other tutoring companies like Kaplan, that I had tried in the past which had failed miserably. Stuart was quick to pinpoint my weaknesses and, in many cases, turn them into strengths and within just a few lessons, I felt much more confident and was starting to see a significant increase in my scores. On the actual test, I ended up scoring 129 (up an amazing 7 points!) which totally transformed my overall score making it really competitive. Stuart's patience, humor, and kindheartedness makes an otherwise uncomfortable standardized test almost enjoyable. I truely believe that I would not have managed to beat the CARS section without Stuart's help. Thanks for everything! read more

When it comes to the MCAT, every student has their respective strengths and difficulties. However, majority test takers can agree that Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) is arguably the most difficult section on the exam. I took the MCAT, and got a dreadful score on CARS. Though I was down, I decided to search for a tutor. I hit the jackpot because I found Dr. Stuart Donnely. Dr. Donnelly is a fantastic tutor who is available, punctual, communicative, intelligent, and very helpful. On top of that, he has an array of resources that will keep you busy for the days ahead. His CARS prep was amazing as I could see a major difference in my current CARS score versus my CARS score before taking him as a tutor. On the other hand, he also helped me significantly in Psychology. Therefore, I recommend anyone who is reading this to take him. He has significant perks, and you will not regret it. HE IS THE MAN! read more

My daughter has worked with Dr Donnelly for the last three months and it has been wonderful. She is a graduate from Holy Cross with a decent GPA but we realize the importance of preparing for the MCAT to gain med school admission. Dr. Donnelly has been able to focus on her weaknesses and provide enormous insight. In addition, his advice with regards to strategy for the test has been invaluable. Many times after graduating the student is detached from the process of applying. He is able to engage students and provide support well beyond the tutoring services stated in the contract. He is sincerely committed to student success and offers a personalized service with sound methodology. Within 3 months her scores improved significantly. In addition to all his talents ... he is just one of those really smart people that can teach. read more

I started with Stuart at the beginning of the summer and didn't have any idea what to expect on the MCAT. Stuart was so incredibly helpful and was always understanding even when I had trouble understanding topics. His strategies were extremely helpful, and he has seemingly unending knowledge on every topic on the MCAT. The one-on-one attention made it possible to focus on areas in which I personally struggled, rather than being forced to follow a curriculum in a larger group setting. After working with Stuart for about 2.5-3 months I took the MCAT, and I'm thrilled with my score and won't be taking it again, which wouldn't have been possible without Stuart. I got a 514! (91st percentile!) -- Chem: 128 (86th percentile) -- CARS: 129 (95th percentile) -- Psych: 131 (99th percentile!) Thank you so much for all of your help read more

Before working with Dr. Donnelly, I struggled to find the best MCAT study method and was overwhelmed by all the resources. Dr. Donnelly helped me select the resources I needed and created a comprehensive study plan that I could follow. Additionally, we met weekly for one-on-one tutoring lessons where we reviewed material from all the sections. Dr. Donnelly patiently walked me through Chem/ Physics, a section I struggled with the most and taught me a great method for tackling the CARS section. With Dr. Donnelly's help, I was able to improve my score tremendously, surpassing all my expectations! I could not have been happier to have Dr. Donnelly as my MCAT tutor. He helped me grasp all the necessary material and helped me go into test day calm and confident. I highly recommend Dr. Donnelly for your MCAT prep! read more

My daughter needed help in raising her score in the CARS section of the MCAT exam. Dr. Donnelly was patient, organized and had a method that allowed her to get the score she was looking for. In addition, he helped her keep on top of the other sections while he was preparing her for CARS. He provided study material, organized homework assignments for her and kept her engaged and focused during the months that he worked with her. As a parent, I found him to be responsive to my calls and inquiries and tailored her sessions to what she needed as an individual, as opposed to following a rigid study format. I was concerned at first that this tutoring would only be virtual and not in person, but this proved not to be an issue. He was flexible with times and dates and worked around her busy school schedule. read more

Stuart was able to greatly improve my score in 4 months! His greatest strength other than teaching material in a way that will actually stick, is that he helps you feel more confident in your own abilities. My score jumped almost 10 points from when I first started to the score of my official exam, something I thought would not be possible. He really does listen to your concerns, and creates a plan that works on those specific needs. Additionally, he has material from many companies (including AAMC practice material), allowing you to gain exposure to many practice exams and questions. Overall, it was a great experience during an extremely stressful time. read more

Dr. Donnelly is truly one of the kindest, and most patient people I have worked with! I had taken the MCAT once before after instruction at a private company with less than stellar results. After a few lessons with Dr. Donnelly, I was able to work on my weak areas and improve dramatically! I went into my second attempt with more confidence, especially in areas where I was weak before. I had the unique opportunity to work with him both in person and remotely through Skype, and his effectiveness was consistent; my new score is truly a testament to his skill in teaching and care for his students' success! I would absolutely recommend his services! read more

Last year, I took the MCAT after studying on my own but my results were VERY disappointing. Physics and Gen Chem have never been my strong point so this year, I decided to get some professional tutoring help and contacted Dr Donnely. After just two months of working intensively with Stuart, I raised my Chem/Phys score by 7 POINTS! and my total MCAT score by 13 POINTS! That's how clear and thorough his instruction was. He really was exactly what you would want from a tutor because he really does care about how you do and even kept in contact with me after my exam to help me with school applications. He was an invaluable resource. read more

I was having trouble with the CARS section on the MCAT. I worked with Dr. Donnelly to help improve my score in this section. He provided me with many strategies to approach this section and work on time management. Additionally, we worked through many different types of passages and he provided me with many resources to aid in my studying. Dr. Donnelly also helped me to increase my science section scores by continuously reviewing the material with me. He was always available to meet with me and was very flexible in scheduling our sessions. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to do better on the MCAT exam. read more

Choosing Doctor MCAT was the best decision I made during my MCAT preparation journey. The personalized approach really stood out.

Their deep understanding of the material and practical strategies helped me tackle even the toughest sections with confidence. Thanks to their guidance, I saw significant improvements in my scores, especially in the areas where I had struggled before. I highly recommend Doctor MCAT for anyone looking to excel and reach their full potential on the MCAT read more

Dr.Donnelly helped me improve my score by 10 points from my first practice test. I only had to take the MCAT once and I credit a lot of my success to Dr. Donnelly's amazing teaching skills. He was very patient and would explain everything in detail. He knew how to explain the science concepts in a simple way. He was incredible at giving advice and providing strategies for the CARS section. I really appreciated the moral support he would give as well. Overall he was a great tutor and I would highly recommend anyone who wishes to perform to their full potential to seek help from him. read more
