From
$100
/ hour · save $20/hr

The most flexible option. Buy a minimum of 5 sessions up front, then schedule them however you want. Split them between lecture & lab courses, use them across two semesters, or apply them toward the mentorship program.

Best for students with a full semester ahead who know they will need recurring help but want flexibility on timing.

Pre-Professional Mentorship Program

A single semester of comprehensive mentorship.
From
$2,400
/ quarter · 1 weekly session

Designed for pre-professional students who want one person who knows their complete story across one semester. Built around three dimensions: Support (chemistry and life coaching), Develop (career and identity), and Enable (research and applications).

The right tier for students testing whether long-term mentorship is for them.

Need chemistry support too? The recommended arrangement is two weekly sessions: one for coaching, one for chemistry. Price scales with the second session. Ask about the bundle →

Structured Course

Prep & Review Courses

Structured, curriculum-based preparation and review for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry I and II. Ideal for students who want a systematic review before a semester begins, during a high-pressure exam period, or as a refresher before graduate-level coursework or professional programs.

Unlike one-off sessions, the prep courses follow a clear progression through course material with milestones, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the concepts that matter most.

  • Structured curriculum with clear progression and milestones
  • Mechanism review, reaction pattern mastery, and problem-solving
  • Ideal for pre-semester prep, grad school refreshers, or MCAT preparation

Common questions

Objections, answered honestly.

Tap a question to expand the answer.

Can't I just use ChatGPT for chemistry help?
AI is genuinely useful for chemistry practice. It is good at explaining mechanisms and walking through problems. What it cannot do is watch how you think, notice the specific gap that keeps tripping you up, and adjust in real time. A PhD who has taught thousands of hours of organic chemistry has seen your exact mistake before, and knows the fastest way through it.
I will hire an admissions consultant when it is time to apply.
By the time you are applying, the GPA is set, the research experience is what it is, and the personal statement has to work with the record you built. The admissions process starts much earlier than the application: in the orgo classroom, in the research lab, in the clarity of knowing why you are pursuing this track. MCM works in those years, so when you do get to the application, the story writes itself.
This seems expensive. Is it worth it?
Most pre-professional students already spend $8,500-$11,000 per year on fragmented support: tutoring from one person, test prep from another, consulting from a third. MCM is integrated, which means total cost is similar but the continuity is fundamentally better. One person who knows your whole story, compounding year over year. The question is not whether it is expensive. It is whether doing it piecemeal actually saves money.
I am not even sure this path is right for me.
That is actually the best time to start. We work with students who are uncertain. That is what the Develop part of the program is for. We do not assume you are going to professional school. We help you figure out, honestly, whether you should. Students who make that decision clearly, in either direction, do better in every subsequent step.
How is this different from a regular tutor?
A tutor helps you pass the next exam. MCM works over years, not sessions. Building the scientific understanding that carries you through orgo, biochemistry, test prep, and into professional school. While also developing the professional identity and network that turn a pre-professional student into a compelling applicant. The scope is different. The relationship is different. And the credentials behind it (PhD, industry research, Johns Hopkins faculty) are different from what a tutoring marketplace provides.
Why would I take a prep course before the actual class?
General chemistry is a math-heavy course, and organic chemistry is built on a wall of unfamiliar notation, mechanism logic, and pattern recognition that almost nothing in a student's prior coursework prepares them for. Most students spend the first few weeks of the semester just acclimating, which is exactly the period the curriculum is laying its foundation. A prep course front-loads that exposure in a low-pressure setting where it is fine to be confused, fine to be slow, and fine to ask questions that would feel embarrassing once the class is graded. It is also where students practice building the study habits that actually work for organic chemistry, since most of the habits that carried them through earlier coursework will not.
I already took organic chemistry and barely passed. What is the point of a review?
Two reasons, depending on where you are. If you are retaking OChem 1, every concept that did not click the first time is going to come back to bite you in the second attempt unless something changes between now and then. A review course is where that something happens. If you are moving on to OChem 2 anyway, the OChem 1 foundation is exactly what OChem 2 expects you to have. Going in shaky means a hard semester turns into an unmanageable one. A short, focused review before the next term makes the next experience genuinely more comfortable than the last.
Should I take a review or a prep course before moving on to organic chemistry II?
It depends on how OChem 1 went. If you passed with a C or higher, the OChem II preparation course will give you enough opportunity to refresh OChem 1 and reinforce the second-semester topics that build on it. If you passed with a lower grade, the OChem 1 review course is the better starting point. It reinforces foundational knowledge and surfaces the topics, reagents, and patterns that need to be at your fingertips in organic chemistry II.
