Samin was an excellent tutor for the MCAT. I did not have much time before my exam, but she was able to make time for me in the days leading up to my test. Samin is very familiar with the MCAT,and knew the answer to every aamc problem available. She knows all the information extremely well and was very patient and helpful in explaining. In addition, she was able to come up with sample problems on areas I had trouble with which was very useful.

Amanda W.

1 MCAT lesson

Samin is, by far, the best MCAT tutor I have ever had. Her teaching method is one that absolutely gives results: I went from a 24 on our initial practice test to a 34 on my official MCAT in just about 2 months. Samin would assign practice problems as well as a study schedule to complete at home which we would then review in-depth during our sessions. She was always very patient and made sure that I completely understood the topic before we continued to the next problem.

I first learned of Hailee through a friend of mine. At that time, I was wrestling through either self-studying for the MCAT or taking a course. I ended up deciding that, although I felt like I did not need a class (which are expensive and not individualized), it would be helpful to have some "coaches" help me on my journey through this exam. Also, my friend did very well on his MCAT, and had only good things to say about Hailee, and so I decided to go for it.
