Papillon specializes in tutoring that is tailored to your specific goals.
This program was designed to be adaptable for any individual. We specialize in:
First-time MCAT takers who want structure, clarity, and mentorship
Retakers who are ready to rebuild smarter, not just grind harder
Non-traditional students balancing full-time jobs, families, or career changes
DIYers who are self-studying and feel stuck, scattered, or second-guessing
High-achievers aiming for 515+ who want precise feedback and clinical thinking support
Our core values
Our curriculum is designed around five longitudinal learning themes—not just to help you memorize more, but to help you understand deeply and retain what matters.
Curiosity
We lead with why, because understanding creates clarity.
Compassion
We support the whole student, not just the test-taker.
Adaptability
Learning should fit your life, not the other way around.
Authenticity
We teach for insight, not just answers.
Dedication
You bring the effort. We bring the tools to sustain it.
