Every unit is written clearly and to the point. I highly recommend pairing each unit with UWorld questions specifically targeted to the topic you just covered. (right from day one of your prep) While it may vary for some, after my first month I noticed an eight point increase from my diagnostic. Wished I had found this during my content review phase instead of relying solely on Kaplan textbooks. Luke is genuinely a great teacher who inspired me to learn the full picture and be able to teach the material back, which is exactly the level of understanding the MCAT demands. Also, he consistently hosts office hours and responds to chats in a timely manner. Worth it!

Luke helped immensely with my MCAT prep. My practice test scores were not improving a month and a half out from my MCAT date, and someone had pointed me in his direction. He has concise PDF’s that are written in language far easier to understand than Kaplan and other MCAT textbooks. They are not overly dense in information, making the key concept easier to retain. Active recall by really articulating the knowledge out loud and using precise language helps me realize where my gaps were. And the active reading strategies he using for CARS bumped my score up a couple points. I will use this learning method going forward as it was extremely effective. He is always available to answer questions and genuinely cares about how well you know the material. Highly recommend!!!

Luke's pdf are genuinely so helpful. They are very detailed and explain what is important. I really started understand concepts that were confusing to me from reading the Kaplan books better after reviewing his pdfs. I also love how he has detailed videos explaining how to review his pdfs and his prgessivle checklists and how to make a schedule. He also explains how to review the pdfs and recall them. It is also in line with Uworld which is a big help as Uworld was very important in my learning process. I guarantee that any who genuinely follows his plan and his advice will get a very high score on the mcat. I only which I started it earlier so I could do it the way he does in the schedule breakdown. Highly recommend!!

Luke has taken the dense UWorld textbooks and made them easy to digest. He really emphasizes LEARNING the material and connect dots to the bigger story rather than just memorizing facts. The MCAT is less about rote memorization and more about extracting information from passages and thinking critically about it. The UWorld questions help fill in some of the gaps. I am confident that I will do well on my MCAT because of Luke's content. He is very responsive when I have questions and explains it in a way that I can understand. 10/10 recommend.

Luke helped me improve my CARS score on my MCAT from a 124 to a 129 in just a couple of weeks. He was a great tutor, very responsive, and truly cared about helping me improve. 11/10.

Luke was an incredible MCAT tutor. He was kind, patient, and truly invested in his students’ success. He hosted office hours to review PDF notes and even spent hours rewatching my explanation videos to make sure I fully understood the concepts, not just memorized them. He was smart, nonjudgmental, and great to work with throughout the entire MCAT process. I highly recommend starting his method from the beginning and sticking with it all the way through.

Ancient BRAINS = 10/10 My first time studying, I mistakenly did mcat prep by splitting it into 3 different sections--> Content review, uworld, and AAMC. Luke has allowed me to see the value in learning just enough, and trusting that uworld will help bridge the content gaps. His mcat pdfs are very straight to the point, and for some subjects, are relatively quicker, in comparison to the Kaplan and Princeton Review books. I would recommend this 100/100 times.

Amazing tutor who is extremely helpful and very responsive. He takes the time to make sure every concept is fully understood and explains the material clearly and thoroughly. Even beyond the core content, he is great at walking you through anything related to the topic. Highly recommend.
