“Dan offered a good balance: he was consitently supportive, and spoke plainly about where I needed to improve. He was always prepared for our sessions, flexible about scheduling, and was knowledgeable about the information on the test. He kept me focused through the process, which was a big help.”
Caroline Ross, MCAT Student in Boston -
“I could not have asked for a better tutoring experience! Dan went above and beyond to help me with strategy and content. He came to each session with a lesson plan, and stressed strategy and high-yield content. If I had any content questions, he was quick to answer them. He responded to email so quickly! Dan was extremely encouraging, patient, and supportive. Before meeting with Dan, I had zero MCAT strategy, and now I feel like I could help someone else with strategy! I'm really lucky to have a tutor who worked hard to make sure that I had the best possible chance to improve my MCAT score.”
Becca, MCAT Student at Brown University -
“I really liked how Dan organized the sessions—content first, then strategy. He knew the material and test well, and came to each session with a lesson plan and practice quesitons to work on. He helped me raise my practice score, listened to my feedback, and adjused our plan. Cambridge Coaching is a really easy company to work with.”
Improved practice score.
