CARS Practice

Terri has so many resources and knowledge over each topic of the MCAT. As we went through sample passages/questions for CARS, Terri thoroughly explained how to dissect a passage, how to select the best option and was extremely patient as we went through multiple passages.

Terri is a 10/10 Turtor and person!

I am so happy I found Terri on here! Terri is positive, friendly and a great motivator! She has such a vast knowledge of how to study for the MCAT and the best materials to use to study and succeed. She is very thorough with her explanations which makes it easy to take in the information. I’m excited to continue to work with her and achieve my goals!

Efficient and patient!

Really appreciated the HY focus in her sessions. She helps me round out concepts to fine-tune important systems for STEP1. She has a good response time and answers any lingering questions I have.

The most impactful tutor I've ever worked with!

Terri is a world-class tutor - extremely personable, intuitive, and patient with your needs. She is also insightful and honest about her thoughts on my strengths/weaknesses in my study and test-taking approach, and her feedback is always very practical and goal-oriented. When reviewing content, she explains really difficult concepts in ways that are easy to understand and remember. I usually go through feelings of information overload, but I haven’t run into this issue with Terri. After only 2 sessions, I already feel more confident going into my passages. Excited to continue working with her!

Insightful and knowledgeable counselor

Terri helped me write a first draft of my personal statement to apply for medical school. I didn’t know where to begin, so I came to her with a few anecdotes and ideas. She was very knowledgable about what types of experience medical schools value, so we could prioritize putting those in the personal statement. She also helped me tie a few different anecdotes together in a very cohesive story. I came into the session with only ideas and now I have a first draft! I will definitely come back to Terri for future help with my personal statement.
