We think about MCAT prep differently.
More than simply MCAT tutoring, our highly personalized mentoring approach will equip you with the knowledge and skills to excel on the MCAT and beyond.
Proven Results
Over 80,000 individuals take the MCAT each year. I work relentlessly alongside my students to ensure they achieve scores that stand out.

The Element Method
A structured approach ensures that each student has a plan for excelling on the MCAT that is uniquely tailored to their needs and goals.
- Custom Study Plan. The process begins for each new student with a conversation – we’ll get to know your academic background, discuss resource options, and jointly set goals for your MCAT success. Students then receive a completely custom study plan that takes into consideration their study timeframe, learning style, and other commitments.
- Flexible Scheduling. You have the option to have regular mentoring sessions, or you can simply book time as needed using a convenient online scheduling system.
- Comprehensive Support. Getting a good score on the MCAT is about more than just knowing the content. Our mentoring sessions ensure you are prepared for every aspect of the exam – science knowledge, test-taking strategy, time management, and more.
What Makes Element Unique?
Independence
Most MCAT prep companies are limited to using their brand’s set of resources. At Element your MCAT study materials are selected specifically for you, regardless of who makes them.
Experience
My approach is based on the extensive experience I have tutoring, teaching, and advising on the MCAT. I have worked with individuals of all ages and abilities, including full-time undergraduate students, individuals retaking the exam, non-traditional applicants, working parents, and more.
Commitment
I take pride in knowing the names and stories of each and every one of my students. I carefully limit the number of students I mentor at a time, ensuring I am able to give each one the time and dedication they deserve.
Meet the Founder
Hi there – I’m Melissa, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Congratulations on taking the first step towards success on the MCAT – deciding to study. Having gone through it myself, I am acutely aware of how overwhelming the process can be. The MCAT is a challenging exam, and preparing for it is no different. As a mentor, I support you from start to finish – from study planning, to content tutoring, guided practice, making sure you’re staying on schedule, and more.
I created Element Academic Consulting because I have a passion for working with students. I tutored a variety of subjects for many years before focusing exclusively on MCAT test preparation. I have years of experience specifically with MCAT students, working for one of the top test preparation companies as an MCAT class instructor, coach, and one-on-one MCAT tutor.
Melissa graduated with a Bachelor’s in Chemistry before spending time doing research at an Ivy League institution and then pursuing an MD/PhD dual degree.
