Online MCAT Tutoring with a Duke-Trained MD

The MCAT rewards students who understand the science well enough to apply it to passages they have never seen. One-on-one tutoring with Quin Mallette, MD builds that understanding topic by topic, and then checks that it stuck.

What we cover

  • Chemical and Physical Foundations: general chemistry, physics and organic chemistry.

  • Biological and Biochemical Foundations: biology and biochemistry.

  • Psych/Soc and CARS: a study strategy and a plan for working through them.

How MCAT tutoring works

  • A plan built from the AAMC content outline and paced to your test date, so every hour goes to what’s actually tested.

  • After every session: a recording, a transcript, a written recap, and a practice drill with its own answer key.

  • Use Anki? Cards can be built straight from what we covered.

  • Each session opens by re-checking what you missed last time, so weak spots get closed instead of forgotten.

Who it is for

First-time test-takers building content from the ground up, students retaking after a score they were not happy with, and anyone preparing for the MCAT while still carrying a full course load.

Why students work with Quin

  • Has taught the MCAT to hundreds of students over more than two decades.

  • Former MCAT instructor for both The Princeton Review and Kaplan, including designing and teaching an accelerated MCAT program for The Princeton Review.

  • Scored in the 98th percentile or higher on the MCAT himself, then earned his MD at Duke School of Medicine.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start?

As early as your test date allows. A plan is built backward from the date you are testing.

Do you cover every section?

Science content is taught session by session. Psych/Soc and CARS get a strategy and a plan rather than full lessons.

Can I work with you alongside a prep course?

Yes. Many students bring a Kaplan or other prep book and use sessions for the topics that are not clicking.
