SweetLion Prep

Stop re-learning the textbook. Start beating the MCAT.

A diagnostic finds your high yield gaps, targeted review closes them, and the majority of your time is used in passage strategy and active learning.

Hi, I'm Noah.

I scored in the 97th percentile on the MCAT and have since spent years helping students prepare for and understand the material

My approach involves building a strong understanding of the material through targeted review and developing reasoning skills that can be directly applied on test day. I have worked with many students in both one on one and group settings. I really enjoy breaking down complex topics into intuitive concepts. I put a strong emphasis on strategy and diagnosing reasoning and acquisition gaps to make preparation as efficient as possible.

I know how overwhelming studying for the MCAT can feel. I help each of my students create a study plan that actively targets their weaknesses and provides structure so there is no more guessing on what should be done next. I work with my students not only to improve their score but to instill a level of confidence in their approach to the exam.

I started SweetLion because I saw a pattern in a lot of students' struggles when detailing their past experience with the exam. Students spent a huge amount of time into broad content review and ran out of time to engage with passages and develop strategy. SweetLion was made so this would not be an issue.

How I tutor

Instead of relying on a one size fits all schedule, students take a diagnostic that pinpoints the specific high yield areas where points are most likely to be lost. We focus on those gaps by using impactful free resources.

During sessions we concentrate on developing the skills that make passage comprehension easy and repeatable; developing a lens to interpret test questions, identifying patterns, discerning relevant material, and recognizing trap answer choices.

Let's map out your path to your goal score.

The methodology

Three phases that get us to our goal score.

We'll work together to orient to these phases and know exactly what to expect during each.

What not to do, but what most students do anyways.
SweetLion Prep
01

Diagnosis

Utilize a one-size fits all calendar they found that can be generalized to every student.
A diagnostic that determines your individual high-yield gaps and builds a custom schedule, with the exact free resources to close each one.
02

Application

Students jump straight into passages without learning a strategy or how to approach complex relationships and questions.
A repeatable system for each section that teaches you to understand AAMC logic and spot the traps. Students learn to alter thought processes to fit the MCAT.
03

Conditioning

Students take practice exams without a plan for how to take them or how to review them.
Training for exactly what to expect on test day, with a focus on time management and stamina, so there are no surprises when it counts.

It all starts with the diagnostic.

See why targeted content review leaves you more time for the practice that raises scores.

How the diagnostic works
Targeted content review

Less time memorizing. More time beating passages.

The problem with most courses

Most prep companies put their energy into a course that walks every student through every topic. This ends up over extending students on content review, and it eats into the weeks needed for working passages, building strategy, and learning to think the way the MCAT does.

Our approach

You start by answering a set of diagnostic questions. The diagnostic identifies your weaknesses and gives you direct links to exactly where to watch and learn that content. You review the high yield material you're actually missing, nothing more, and move into active learning sooner. We still expect to learn content through passages however using an active learning strategy leads to better retention and strategy gain.

Where your study time goes

Active learning, meaning practicing passages and applying strategy, drives larger score gains than memorizing facts. A shorter review phase leaves more room to climb.

How the diagnostic works

01
Answer the questions

Work through a set of questions covering the content the MCAT tests.

02
See your weaknesses

Your results show exactly which high-yield topics need work.

03
Learn what you're missing

Get links to free resources to watch and learn each topic.

04
Spend the time you saved

Put it into passages, strategy, and beating the MCAT.

Take a diagnostic

Once you've completed both diagnostics, we'll email you a schedule built from your results: the exact high-yield topics to review, in order, so your content review is targeted from day one.

Free resources

Active learning sheets

Free to download, no email required. Nothing here is a reference you read once. Each set is blank on purpose: you fill it in, find what you could not, and come back to it until there are no gaps left. Engaging in active learning increases retention of these high yield concepts.

C/P Equation Sheet

Build an equation sheet that establishes context for each physics concept

Chemical and Physical Foundations, covering kinematics through circuits and optics. Go through the question set and try to determine the equation necessary to find the answer. If unsure keep going. Once complete star the blank and incorrect lines and correct yourself. Do this multiple times periodically until there are no gaps. Use the answer key last and mark what was missed.

Metabolic Map

Every pathway drawn as a blank map you fill in from memory. Part 1 is energy production. Part 2 is everything built, stored and broken down around it. Each part ends with a big picture page that connects the whole thing.

Part 1 · Glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport

How a glucose becomes ATP, pathway by pathway.

Part 2 · Everything else

Gluconeogenesis, glycogen, fatty acids both directions, the pentose phosphate pathway, ketones, amino acids and urea, and a regulation page covering all of it.

Not sure which equations and subjects you struggle with most?

The diagnostic finds the gaps for you and emails back a schedule built around your test date.
