The DoctorMCAT Advantage
Top Scoring MCAT® Strageties
Dr. Stuart Donnelly, the founder of both DoctorMCAT.com and MCATDoctor.com, was awarded his Ph.D. in mathematics from Oxford University at the age of 25. With over 20 years of private tutoring and teaching experience at all levels and several best-selling test prep books to his name, Dr. Donnelly is considered by many leading educators to be "One of the most experienced and qualified private MCAT® tutors in the country."
Over the past two decades, Dr. Stuart Donnelly has helped numerous aspiring medical students to improve their MCAT® scores significantly and achieve their goals of attending the medical school of their choice. We are confident that he can do the same for you.
"Dr. Donnelly's private tutoring stands apart from other mainstream/commercial review programs because he isolates an individual's weaknesses and tailors a successful review and test-taking strategy that conforms to an individual's needs -- rather than those of the masses. Dr. Donnelly was able to quickly understand and dissect my thought process in order to help me break old habits and establish stronger test-taking skills so I could get that higher score I wanted."
"Hi Stuart. Just wanted to share some great news with you - I received multiple offers to medical school this year and have narrowed it down to GW in DC and PCOM in Philly. I am thrilled to be headed to school in August. Thank you so much for all your help and support throughout this process."

Free Consultation/Assessment
Schedule Yours Today!
If you are new to private tutoring or test prep - don't worry. During your free initial consultation, Dr. Donnelly will administer a short assessment to determine if there are any gaps in your background knowledge of the basic concepts that appear on the MCAT®. The assessment usually takes about 30 minutes. You will also get to see Dr. Donnelly's tutoring skills in action, and by the end of the initial consultation, you should feel confident that Dr. Donnelly is the right MCAT® tutor for you.
Based on the initial assessment, Dr. Donnelly will be able to advise you on the correct number of hours of tutoring that you will probably need to reach your target score. If you decide that Dr. Donnelly is the right tutor for you, he will work with you to help you plan your entire study timetable and set up a regular tutoring schedule.
Customized Lessons
That Focus On Your Needs
Dr. Donnelly's tutoring focuses on quality over quantity. After the initial assessment, each lesson becomes increasingly individualized as Dr. Donnelly adapts the curriculum to your particular test-prep needs. Any weaknesses are quickly addressed to solidify your conceptual and methodological foundations.
If, on the other hand, you've already done some test prep and feel comfortable with your background knowledge of the Physical Sciences, Behavioral Sciences, and Biological Sciences, then Dr. Donnelly will focus more on the concepts and question types that are troubling you most.
Either way, Dr. Donnelly's patient step-by-step teaching style will help to build your confidence in each topic and greatly improve your test-taking skills. Learn More.
Unique MCAT® Strategies
Designed to Improve Your Score
As a dedicated full-time private MCAT® tutor and test prep specialist with over 18 years of teaching experience, Dr. Donnelly (a.k.a. DoctorMCAT) has developed several unique strategies that are extremely efficient in dealing with the passage-based problems that appear on the exam. These methods are easy to learn and help students to reach the correct answers to even the most difficult questions, usually within half the time required by traditional approaches.
Knowing the most efficient approach to extracting important information from each passage is the key to improving one’s MCAT® score. Dr. Donnelly's students are often amazed at how quickly their scores improve significantly (often after just a few hours of tutoring). Many of his new students tell him they learned more during their first lesson with him than they did previously during entire courses with other tutors or test prep centers. Learn More.
