Dr. Stuart Donnelly, the founder of DoctorMCAT in New York and MCATDoctor here in San Diego, 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, Stuart is considered by many leading educators to be "One of the most experienced and qualified private MCAT® tutors in the country."
Due to popular demand, Dr. Donnelly now offers one-on-one online lessons via Zoom for those students who prefer not to travel to our office. But don't just take our word for it - why not check out the latest reviews from some of Dr. Donnelly's recent students?
"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."

about Dr. Donnelly!

Online tutoring is an effective and convenient test prep option that lets us speak “face-to-face” as we view a shared whiteboard. Most of my online students have been surprisingly pleased with virtual tutoring for two reasons:
1: It’s efficient and convenient since no time is wasted getting to and from each lesson.
2: The format of online tutoring lets you record our sessions; hence, you can focus on the content at hand and review the lesson details again afterward.
Homework assignments are also sent at the end of each online class, and lesson fees can be made conveniently over the phone via all major credit cards.
Many of Dr. Donnelly's students are amazed at how quickly they can pick up each topic once they are free from the distractions of the classroom environment. Whatever your tutoring needs, MCATDoctor has got you covered.

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 test. 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 Stuart is the right 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 Stuart is the right tutor for you, he will work with you to help you plan your entire prep timetable and set up a regular tutoring schedule.
Dr. Donnelly's tutoring focuses on quality over quantity. After the initial assessment, each lesson becomes increasingly individualized as Stuart 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, Stuart's patient step-by-step teaching style will help build confidence in each topic and greatly improve your test-taking skills.
As a dedicated full-time tutor and test prep specialist, Dr. Donnelly has developed several unique strategies that are extremely efficient in dealing with the passage-based problem that appears on the test. These methods are easy to learn and help students to improve their test-taking skills immensely.
Knowing the most efficient approach is the key to improving one’s 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.

"Practice makes perfect,” as the old saying goes, so at the end of each lesson, Dr. Donnelly will provide you with plenty of passages and questions to practice at home. These homework assignments will help you reinforce and retain the techniques and topics we have covered together during our lessons. They also provide a valuable feedback mechanism to help measure your weekly progress.
All students also receive free proprietary teaching materials, including equation summary sheets, test-taking tips, and access to 1000's of officially-published MCAT® questions and practice exams.
