Testimonials

“Shyam was an extremely helpful tutor for the MCAT verbal section. He broke down passages, identified where I could improve my strategy, and ultimately helped me develop the confidence I needed on test day.”
Christopher, MCAT Student -
“Shyam was organized, knowledgeable, and smart. He had a great grasp on the material, and a clear passion for medicine and science that was infectious and made our meetings enjoyable. He helped me structure my studying, taught me valuable material and test-taking strategies, and encouraged me throughout the process. Shyam is fantastic. I highly recommend working with Shyam and the team at Cambridge Coaching.”
Isabelle, MCAT Student -
“Here's an anecdote indicative of Shyam's commitment: when I was struggling with my Personal Statement revisions, Shyam did a 45-minute recorded, detailed, personal interview with me so I could flesh out some overarching themes in my story. He then shared the recording with me so I could listen to it as I went forward. This kind of creative, personalized approach was part of every coaching session I had with Shyam.”
