Knowledgeable, responsive, and very helpful!

Annie was great with helping me organize and prioritize my MCAT study schedule. She was super knowledgeable about all the MCAT topics and resources, and helped with my understanding of some difficult topics. I would highly recommend her!

Best GRE tutor I have had!

Annie helped me immensely with Verbal and AWA for my GRE. She was extremely patient throughout the process. She took the time to identify my weaknesses and provided inputs that I could immediately work on. I would undoubtedly attribute a significant portion of the jump in my Verbal and AWA scores to the tutoring sessions with her.

Patient and Thorough Tutor

After a slightly disastrous first attempt at the GRE, I really wanted to make sure the second time I took the test my verbal score would go up like I needed them to. I contacted Annie two weeks before the exam. She was extremely attentive and helped formulate a personalized study plan for the next two weeks. Additionally, she supplies you with much needed extra study material. My verbal score went up by 6 points and I definitely attribute a good amount of my new score to my tutoring sessions with Annie!!

Super helpful for GRE!!! Great explainer.

As I'm preparing for the GRE, Annie was so helpful to answer questions & help me with topics I have been stuck on. I have about 6 GRE books... And none of them explained concepts as easily as Annie. I would definitely recommend.

Knowledgable and Fun to learn with

Annie taught me the basics in Spanish. She taught me simple ways to learn the language and was very interactive. She made sure I repeated most of the words and sentences. She has a way of making it easy to learn. She was extensively prepared for the class and had all the necessary material written on the boards beforehand. This made it easy to navigate through the boards while reviewing at the end of the class. She made learning easy and fun!
