I don't recommend for MCAT tutoring. In my experience the tutoring wasn't organized. I found that I was better off self-studying.

I recently made a big decision to pursue my dream and career as a MD. The first hurdle in my…read morepursuit is the MCAT. Now I'm a working professional and the last standardized test I took was the SAT a very long time ago so my test taking abilities are a bit rusty and was beginning to cause a lot of anxiety. I did try a "crash course" type of class but the information dump that came at me was overwhelming. I ended up contacting Blake and he has been a godsend! He is very knowledgable especially with strategies in tackling the CARS section. His communication style is very patient and he strives to relate to you which helped to put me at ease. My test date is quickly approaching and I feel very confident thanks to Blake!

Nearing the end of the college application gauntlet with my HS senior, and I wanted to thank Blake…read morefor all of his help working with my son on the ACT. The math section was really pulling his score down, but his score increased from a 26 to a 30 after working with Blake for a couple weeks. It was so helpful for him to work one-on-one with an expert, focusing only on the types of problems he was missing. Blake also helped him with his test strategy and time management, and I'm sure that played a big part too. One of the best investments of time and money would could have made. Our counselor told us the higher score will not only change his acceptances but his financial aid offers. Music to our ears!

Large groups of kids (16 even in the younger grades!) crammed into tiny classrooms. I want to be…read moreclear that some of the teachers are great and working incredibly hard, but they are being given an impossible task. This curriculum is hard (by design), and kids need support. Instead, teachers are trying to do crowd control while kids are behavior problems, calling out and talking over others. Because there is an emphasis on speed and solving problems quickly, some teachers even reward these kids with "beast bucks," their prize system. If you get a less skilled teacher, students (often girls) can be left out. Admin unfortunately does not care about the issue, even though I brought it up months ago. They will simply remind you that there are no refunds. Meanwhile, girls and less aggressive students who are *talented in mathematics* can be left out. AOPS Carmel Valley needs to seriously lower their class sizes to be able to manage impulsive kids and make a concerted effort to provide space and time for quieter kids to contribute meaningfully. I am not in any way blaming the teachers -- this is not their fault. AOPS's math curriculum (Beast Academy) is fabulous and can be purchased online monthly. I recommend going this route until AOPS Carmel Valley prioritizes kids' (and their teachers') experiences over money and hiring more admin.
