John Holtz is well known and respected in the bar prep industry for his excellent seminars on the Performance Test section of the CA bar exam. I took the CA bar exam and passed on my third attempt, much like many well-respected attorneys and politicians in California. Had it not been for John's seminar on PT's, I don't know that I could have ever passed the bar exam. I also took the Fleming's course taught by Sue Sneidmiller, wife of Jeff Flemings, for my first bar attempt. I do NOT recommend taking their course as it taught me less about how to outline and organize my answer, made less sense to me, cost me more, and I walked away with less study material than John's Advanced Performance Seminars. Mr. Holtz offers a far better value for the money. John also offers a special no-pass, no-pay type system, but I was not eligible since I took John's three day course for the first time as a repeater. Even still, the course fee was less than Flemings, offered more substance, and gave me what I needed to eventually pass the CA bar exam. I appreciated the fact that John discounted his fee by $25 if you brought a fellow student with you to class, which saved us money and shared the wealth of knowledge amongst my peers. I learned of John's seminars only days before my first bar attempt, so I was able to attend only John's one day seminar, which was tantamount to drinking from a fire hose! Nonetheless, I was able to at least come close (only 4 raw points away from passing) on my first bar attempt. Without John's one day course, that would not have been possible to even get close. John's website is www.performancetest.net. Don't hesitate to call for up-to-date class meeting schedules as he sets his schedules according to the BarBri schedules in CA to be the most accommodating as possible. Consequently, there might be more classes offered than is reflected on his website. Technology isn't John's focus, but my passing the bar is. I guess I can accept that as a fair trade. ;-) I count John as my PT savior. I have complete and total faith in his methods and owe my success on the PT portion of this bar exam to John and John alone. John once spent two hours with me after I got my first bar exams back for review. I was crushed to get so close and yet no cigar. My study buddy passed and I was now all alone. Law school was over and my support system was gone... totally absent. John spent those two hours with me that night after teaching all day and before driving home 8 long hours through the night to care for his special needs children by the next morning. Because he spent that time with me, John gave up dinner and any hopes of sleep that night in order to be there for me when I needed him. You think I'm a strong supporter of Mr. Holtz? You damned right I am! I owe my success to John, who totally rocks in my book! I will be eternally grateful and appreciative to John for my passing the CA bar exam. I wholeheartedly endorse John's course and hope you'll enjoy the same overwhelming excitement when it's your turn to see your name on that congratulatory letter from the State Bar. There's nothing else like it in the world. John, I thank you with my entire being and that little thing we call a bar card!

IBI played a huge role in my landing of an internship with a PE shop. I was able to showcase the models that we built in class to my interviewer and he really liked the initiative on my part to enroll in the class. For those students with no finance background, understand that the material is pretty dense and that you will get out what you put in to the course (aka study outside of class to get the best value). IBI is not a silver bullet to getting your dream job but it will act as a focal point of interest during potential interviews and provide you with a solid knowledge foundation ( As a bonus, you do get to keep all the class materials).

The Berkeley Review is an AMAZING MCAT test prep class and I would take it again in a heartbeat…read more(but I do not think I will need to after this class)! First off, some background on myself: I went to a top-tier university, but without a strong foundation in science, I did poorly in my premed prerequisites. I especially struggled in chemistry and biology. This course really gave me the confidence that I needed to take my MCAT and feel like I can actually get into medical school. I am the type of person that needs structure in my study schedule and this was the perfect way to keep myself on top of studying. Todd is a GREAT teacher and made learning about physics and chemistry so much easier than it was in my undergraduate classes. Cecile also taught organic chemistry topics in ways that made so much more sense. Other great teachers included Tarek (who focused on biochemistry) and Alex (who taught CARS lectures). What makes The Berekely Review (TBR) so much more than just an MCAT prep course, is the fact that the teachers are more than willing to talk about their experiences applying to medical school and what they did or what they would not do. Todd is also very knowledgeable in medical school apps and gave amazing advice. TBR felt like family - I met two other students and bonded with them immediately. This helps tremendously when you are struggling through hard concepts and practice exams. Lastly, I was very impressed by TBR's genuine care for its students - always emphasizing that they can spend extra time teaching concepts that we felt needed more review. Todd always welcomed feedback on class structure and showed how much TBR aims to make this a better class for everyone. Thank you, Todd, Cecile, and all Berkeley Review teachers for helping me with my MCAT prep. I know that I would not be getting the scores on my practice tests that I am currently getting without your help! Do not hesitate to sign up for this great course - you will not regret it!!!

Much nerd sadness. Though I must say the Irvine facility did write me a letter saying they were going to update their machines, so hopefully they did. However, at the El Segundo Facility, my experience with the machines was much improved. Hyper V was was running fast and the PC's were running faster than mine. I was impressed. The teacher and staff are also top notched. For my Advanced SharePoint course, the instructor was very knowledgeable and always helpful when I needed his assistance. He also kept me awake and not let my mind wander, which is very hard to do! My Salesperson was great as well and even took me out to lunch. He also helped me get registered in the class at the last minute. Anyways I felt I learned something in my course taken here and if anybody has the money or the time, to take training here.

I first met Matthew when he was the owner of Aria Tutoring. He first helped me with trigonometry…read morethe first time I had taken it I failed. The next time I took it I went to Matthew and with his help I was able to achieve a high B. I feel his great ability to show and explain things in a way that make perfect sense to me that I was even able to take things he showed me onto pre calculus where I again achieved a high B. Now that he is the owner/director of Club Z in Beverly Hills and since I have now moved onto calc 1 I have returned to him for more tutoring. Matthew's greatness is difficult for me to put into words. He is by far the best tutor/teacher I've ever had!! No joke he is better then my professors. Why? Because he can explain the things I don't understand in class at a fraction of the time and I retain more information as well as the know how to solve difficult problems. Which is something my professors cant do even if I seek out their help after class. I've also had experience with other tutors and I feel it is extremely unacceptable when they're charging $75 an hour and cant explain something to me in detail or don't know how to solve a problem because its out of their league. That never happens with Matthew. He can show me how to do anything, anywhere, at anytime which is a true God send especially when it comes to something like calculus. I'm currently taking calculus 1 at College of the Canyons in Valencia and with his help I'm actually able to help other students in my class that are having a difficult time. Math has never been my strong suit but with Matthew I have no fear I often feel as if he's my secret weapon lol. I know with his help there's no math problem I wont eventually be able to do on my own. Matthew is always honest and straight up with me. He never leads me astray. He has a heart of gold and I know that if he do can wonders for me he and now his tutors that work for him can do the same for anyone that seeks out Club Z's help. I urge anyone looking for a math tutor at any level to go to Matthew Aria's Club Z!! I promise you the only regret you'll have is not going to Matthew Aria's Club Z.

They not only avoided providing instructions on what setting was required for the online exam (until I was already on a video call about to start the exam), but also had me wait a full 3+ weeks (aka the maximum amount of time they say you will receive your results by) before letting me know AFTER I contacted them to follow up that they NULLED MY EXAM. I did not even receive an explanation as to why it was nulled- they simply forwarded an email to me to let me know something was wrong and that I would not be refunded ANY of my $200. As someone applying to graduate school, and studying for years for this exam, I was incredibly dissatisfied by the lack of organization, communication, and scamming conducted by UNAM Los Angeles. I would NOT recommend this institution to anyone looking for a proctored exam or any kind of timely, respectful communication.

The fee might be more than it would be at a community college, but the classes are small and intimate. So you can't really hide; you're forced, albeit gently, to learn. Fernando taught the Spanish class I was in and he is also the coordinator for their language program. I understand that he and the other teachers actually have linguistics degrees and are likely over-qualified to be teaching basic Spanish. Nonetheless, Fernando was extremely enthusiastic; somehow, he was able to identify where you are weak and push you to develop in those areas without making you feel lost or slow. Highly recommended.
