Cara D.

4 MCAT lessons

I struggled with retaking the MCAT multiple times in order to improve my verbal section score. I did well on the science areas but could not grasp an effective strategy for the verbal section. I tried Kaplan and Princeton Review classes, studying on my own, and other tutors; however, my score still did not improve. It was frustrating to say the least. I started working with Leslie and immediately noticed a small difference.
Mary N.

1 MCAT lesson

He thoroughly explains concepts and is readily available for extra help via email. He pushed me to strive for the best and encouraged me to practice, practice, and practice some more. He surely cares about his students and their progress. I significantly improved on my MCAT organic chemistry and it is all because of Raghu! I couldn't be happier with my results. I highly recommend him, you will be in good hands.
Johnny S.

2 MCAT lessons

Gilmore is a very professional tutor. He responds quickly and is always on time to my tutoring sessions. Compared to other tutors I had, Gill adopts a more "data-driven" approach which as a science student I find extremely helpful. I needed help with improving my reading scores on the MCAT, and during my lessons, Gill was carefully timing the time it took me to read and how long I spend on each questions.
