Caroline -
“Troy and CC has been everything and more I needed in my LSAT and law school journey. Troy consistently has been a great tutor - I've studied with him for two separate exams (6 years apart!), which I think speaks volumes to the value he brings to his students. He really works through your specific issues with the test in order to develop tailored solutions. I would recommend him to anyone looking to prepare for the LSAT, or really any important exam.”
Alicia -
“Troy is amazing! My essays would not have been nearly as rich or moving without Troy's suggested edits. He was excellent at determining whether the big picture looked complete (ie: Is the structure of the essay working? Does it achieve what the prompt asked for? Is the essay’s climax impactful?). I highly recommend using Cambridge Coaching for your law school applications because I truly believe the essay support took my applications from adequate to stellar.”
Worked on applications for Cornell, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard, UChicago, UVA, UMichigan, Northwestern, Georgetown, UPenn, Vanderbilt, and Boston College
