Cara D.

4 MCAT lessons

After working with her for a few months, I felt more prepared for the MCAT verbal section than I had previous times. I improved my verbal score by 2 points, which was what I needed! 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.
Sanyog S.

10 MCAT lessons

Whenever I do not understand something he is able to explain the concept very easily so that I can grasp it. Steve engages me in the sessions as well which is something that I enjoy and he has helped me to develop more critical thinking skills in my preparation for the MCAT. I highly recommend Steve as a tutor for the MCAT he is a great person that wants to see his students succeed!
JEFFREY C.

1 MCAT lesson

We answered quite a few questions incorrectly. His feedback for our mistakes left me unconvinced on why the correct answers were in fact correct. Comparing John to verbal instructors from my experience in 2 MCAT prep courses, he lacks a systematic and guided approach necessary to comprehending verbal passages and answering questions. He may be a great tutor for other standardized tests and possibly for the science sections of the MCAT, but not for the verbal section.
