Are you talking about adding memory after purchase of the computer? If so, this has not been possible since about 2012 before the introduction of the retinal display MacBook Pros.

If you have an older, pre-retina display MacBook Pro you can get memory from OWC.

If you have the default hard drive in that machine - a 5400 rpm drive - then more RAM will not help that much. But replacing that is easy in a mid 2012 non retina, I did it putting in an SSD and a total of 12 GB RAM (replace one stick with an 8 GB) and it was responsive and quick. They have great install videos on their site (OWC).
