He genuinely cares about you and your ability to take/do well on the MCAT. I think Will is a great resource (has great resources) with all his advice and knowledge he has on the test. I mean it wholeheartedly when I say he is an MCAT godsend, and doesn't make me feel like I am suffering through studying for the MCAT. I always look forward to his sessions, he's so unbelievably helpful & such a great guy! Do yourself a favor on the MCAT and hire Will!!!!!

Even this small improvement makes a huge difference and I have to thank Leslie for all of her help. I learned how to better take this part of the MCAT, but I also learned how to read more effectively, something that will help me in medical school. She was incredibly patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about the MCAT verbal section. She deeply cares and wants to help her students improve. Overall, I strongly recommend Leslie for an MCAT verbal tutor!

One of the big factors that distinguishes Steve from other MCAT tutors is that he is a Medical School student and has experience teaching for MCAT prep companies. He is able to process and thoroughly explain passages or problems on the fly and doesn’t need a few days to review the material prior. He has a seemingly endless amount of resources to help me prepare for the MCAT, and through lessons and practice exam results, he is able to pinpoint areas in which I am currently struggling.
