About TheCARScoach
Hello, I’m Austin.
If you are feeling frustrated by the CARS section, you are not alone. It is the one part of the MCAT where "studying harder" doesn't always lead to a better score. I know exactly how that feels because I had to fight for every point I earned. I ultimately achieved a 129 in CARS (95th percentile), but I didn't get there through natural intuition—I got there by deconstructing the AAMC’s logic until I found a repeatable system that worked every time.
My goal as your tutor is to take the "mystery" out of the reading. I provide a professional, structured, and highly supportive environment where we replace guessing with certainty. I don’t just show you what the right answer is; I teach you the specific mental moves required to find it yourself under the pressure of the clock.
Why Work With Me?
A Proven System: I specialize in teaching a "non-reader" approach. If you are a science-minded student who struggles with abstract humanities passages, my evidence-based methodology is designed specifically for you.
Professionalism & Commitment: Your time is your most valuable resource. I pride myself on being punctual, prepared, and deeply invested in your success. I provide clear feedback and actionable "homework" after every session so you always know exactly how to improve.
Relatability: Because I built my score from the ground up, I understand the common pitfalls and the "50/50" traps that the AAMC sets. I have been in your shoes, and I know the way out.
CARS doesn't have to be the section that holds your application back. Together, we will turn it into a source of strength that sets you apart from the competition. I am here to provide the clarity, strategy, and confidence you need to walk into the testing center ready to succeed.

My Approach to MCAT CARS: Turning Subjectivity into Logic
My Teaching Methodology and Techniques I treat CARS not as a reading comprehension test, but as a logic puzzle. Many students fail because they try to "understand" the passage like a book; I teach you to "decode" it like a map. My methodology centers on Evidence-Based Elimination. We move away from "gut feelings" and toward identifying specific AAMC question patterns—such as "Faulty Analogies," "Extreme Language," and "Outside the Scope" traps. I focus heavily on Active Mapping, a technique that allows you to summarize a passage’s rhetorical structure in under 60 seconds, ensuring you never have to re-read paragraphs while the clock is ticking.
A Typical Lesson Plan Every 60-minute session is high-intensity and results-oriented:
Minutes 1–10: The Warm-Up. We review your recent "Missed Question Log" to identify if your errors are coming from comprehension, logic, or timing.
Minutes 10–35: Live Passage Deconstruction. We perform a "Think-Aloud" where I watch you navigate a fresh AAMC passage. I intervene the moment I see a "logic gap" or a timing stall.
Minutes 35–50: Targeted Drill. We focus on your weakest question type (e.g., "Strengthen/Weaken" or "Reasoning Beyond the Text") using a repeatable 3-step checklist.
Minutes 50–60: Strategic Pivot. We refine your "Timing Budget" for the week and set specific goals for your next full-length practice exam.
What Sets Me Apart I am not a "natural" high-scorer who walked into the testing center and found CARS easy. I earned my 129 (95th percentile) by deconstructing the exam’s predictable patterns after hitting my own plateaus. Because I had to build a system for myself, I can teach that system to you. While many 520+ tutors focus on the sciences, I specialize exclusively in the section that most students find "un-teachable." I provide a repeatable framework that removes the "50/50 coin flip" anxiety and replaces it with a deliberate, evidence-based process.
Who the Lessons Are For These sessions are designed for Pre-Medical students at any stage of their prep, but they are particularly high-yield for:
Canadian Applicants: Those needing a 128+ to meet strict provincial cut-offs.
Science-Heavy Scorers: Students with 130+ in Chem/Phys and Bio but who are stuck in the 123–125 range in CARS.
Retakers: Anyone who felt "lost" during their first attempt and needs a radical change in strategy.

I highly recommend Austin. He is incredibly smart and knowledgeable, but what really stands out to me is how clearly he explains things. He breaks down complex topics in a way that actually makes sense and he is very patient throughout the process. On top of that, he’s genuinely kind and supportive, which makes learning with him comfortable and motivating. You can tell he truly cares about his students’ success.
