I reached out to Chris in late 2012 because, although I loved my job, I felt that I needed to…read moreimprove the way in which I interacted with my colleagues. Chris was amazing. More than talking to me, he listened to my concerns and asked questions. By asking the right questions, he eventually lead me to form my own opinion on how to handle various situations and to articulate why they should be handled in that way. Invariably, most of the anxiety I was feeling came from imagining what might happen versus living in reality. I was, without fail, able to resolve every anxiety creating situation in such a positive way that it's truly changed my life. I very rarely suffer the anxiety attacks or sleepless nights that were par for the course during much of my career. His guidance has also allowed me to create some great partnerships at work in a way that I've never been able to do before. I thought I loved my job before I met Chris. Now it's 100 times better!

My career has been infinitely improved after working with Shift Coaching!

My tutor was fantastic! She helped me identify strengths and weaknesses in my studying strategy,…read morereviewed high-yield concepts with me, and even created a dynamic study schedule based on my current study progress. She not only listened to what areas I wanted to work on, but came into each session prepared with relevant practice questions and suggested resources. As someone who has struggled with resource overload, her support was key in focusing my studying efforts to be the most efficient possible, while providing a versatile set of strategy practice and high-yield content review. I would highly recommend!

Manhattan Prep is an amazing prep course for the GRE. I took an in person class with John Cho and…read morehave nothing but positive things to say about him and the course overall. John was extremely knowledgeable about the test, content, study strategies, tips/tricks etc. He was able to tailor the class to suit the needs of different students, and was always available for after class questions. In my first practice test I got a 161V and 156Q, so was fairly nervous about boosting my quant score to my target of 165. John not only helped me on my quant weak spots, but also was a positive voice throughout my studies and kept me optimistic. Studying for a big test can be pretty isolating - especially if you have no friends studying for something at the same time (..i.e. this was my experience) so it was incredibly helpful to have a class & instructor that kept me mentally motivated. The Manhattan materials (books, practice tests, online resources, 5lb book (!)) are also top notch and better than those I've seen from other prep courses. I ended up getting a 164V/166Q/5.5 & I'm not convinced I could have done it without this class. I maybe could have eventually, but you don't want to spend forever studying for a test when you (presumably) have apps to focus on. Take Manhattan with John! It's 110% worth it - will make your studying smarter, faster, and less stressful.

I did GRE private tutoring with John Cho and highly recommend him. John was an incredibly…read morethoughtful and creative instructor and made every minute of our tutorials count. His sessions were well structured. We covered all content and strategy areas but he also offered helpful feedback on the ones I should prioritize based on his assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. I hit a wall in my studies about halfway through and struggled to maintain confidence that I could reach my test goals and, more specifically, improve my quant score. John was really supportive in a genuine way. He helped me reframe my thinking around my studies and adopt a new approach that worked better. I got V164/Q168 (this hugely exceeded my Q164 goal).

I highly recommend Trevor as a tutor to anyone studying for the GMAT. He helped increase my score…read moreby 50 points in just four weeks!

Working with Trevor and Yash for MCAT coaching was an amazing experience. Whenever I had questions…read moreabout a certain topic/problem, adjusting my study schedule, or being overly neurotic about my progress, Yash was always just a text or call away to reassure me and answer my questions. For example, in the last few weeks of studying my AAMC full length scores progressed from a 516 to 519 to 516 to 513. The trend from a 519 to 513 definitely made me anxious, and it felt like I was hitting a slump in my studying. However, Yash was quick to let me know that full length scores aren't static, reassuring me that I'm scoring within the expected standard deviation around my average of 516. He told me that each full length is different in difficulty, advising me to take an extra day off each week to refocus myself and really hone in on why I might've got more questions wrong. This definitely helped clear my mind and I actually began to feel grateful for scoring a 513, because I was able to identify gaps in my content/test taking strategies that I didn't even know I had. Subsequently, my scores on the last two AAMC full lengths went back up from a 514 to 518! At the end of my studying, I felt satisfied that I've done everything I could to prepare for this test, and that no matter what happened on test day, I was confident in getting a score that would give me a good shot at an acceptance to medical school. Overall, I don't think I would've made it as far as I did without his support--Yash has been an amazing coach!

I wholeheartedly agree with Ken's review. Veritas was great and really made the difference for me…read moreand the GMAT. The instructors were phenomenal - especially David, who went above and beyond to provide solid lectures, good examples, and additional supplementary materials. In addition to great teachers, Veritas' online classes were really helpful - either for reviewing material you're fuzzy on or making up for a missed class. Plus, they give you access to so many practice GMAT tests (some of their own, plus others they license), so you'll really feel prepared by the time test day comes. The class format of Veritas really sets it apart from other programs. For me, having the hands-on classroom time plus TONS of homework/practice problems was the necessary nudge I needed to make sure I was devoting adequate time to studying. The books are well thought out and give you a lot of detail. I'd recommend supplementing it with the Official GMAT guide (in your final weeks of studying) to really help give you a sense of the official GMAT Qs.

Although the instructors were great, this class is NOT designed for people who work full-time. If…read moreI had studied as much as they recommended, I would not have had time for anything else. Before you go out and preach my review as gospel, let me make sure that everyone knows that about halfway through the Vertias Prep program I decided I didn't need a $100k MBA. I just want to learn how to start a business and maintain it and have a fairly good idea of what I'm doing. Therefore, my score actually went DOWN by 60 points after taking the class. I don't blame Veritas Prep, I was just disappointed that it wasn't good for someone who works full time. Also, if you suck at math...I advise getting a private tutor BEFORE starting this class. Lots and lots of Algebra.

I've been studying with Bill for eight months and I'm writing essays in French! Every week, and it…read moreis pure pleasure! How can this be? Very simple. Bill is an extraordinary teacher. He has created a wonderful program to learn and speak and write French (no I haven't read Les Miserables en francais...yet). He teaches one to master the language, and all its idiosyncrasies with wonderful tricks and pneumonic devices that are easy to learn and stay with you. The weekly hour sessions fly by and are packed, every week with new information. I'm filled with gratitude and marvel at my progress. Merci, Bill!

From the owner: Bonjour! If you are preparing for a trip to France or another French-speaking area of the world, I…read moreoffer private tutoring and French lessons to adult students of all levels, ranging from the absolute beginner up to advanced conversation, culture, travel skills, and history. From our first session together, we will discuss your needs and goals, and then work together so you can learn French at your own pace. I offer my students a unique method of working with small building blocks of language which we will continually reassemble into new sentences so that you can express your own thoughts, and not simply memorize set phrases. You will be encouraged to write essays to prepare for your lessons with me and to speak about the things that are most important to you, which is what you will do when you travel, too. As you make steady progress with each private lesson, I will guide and coach you with your reading, writing, and conversation skills. I often tell my French students that speaking another language is 5% words and 95% confidence, and I really do believe that. I will help you to develop that confidence from within by learning this beautiful language as a platform for your own personal growth. French is one of the most useful languages in the world to learn.
