    I took Swartwood for the MCAT last year (2023), and I have to say that it was one of the best…read moredecisions I made. Granted, I'm an M1 now, so things worked out well. John- the head instructor and the only one for the Swartwood Only MCAT- is incredible. I'm sure everyone in my class would agree with me. I still remember the funny stories and his "big themes" to this day. Here's my breakdown: My personal opinion: PROS - He's the best. If you want to learn from someone who is entertaining, knows his material inside and out, and is also an incredible mentor, you need to take this course. Time flies by in class. This class, however, is definitely a "be there" class. I took the in-person class, so I can't say anything about the online class. You have to attend lectures and take notes. You have to interact to get the most out of it. I'm a little on the quieter side so I sat back while other people asked questions in class, but I wasn't shy about asking questions after class. If you miss class, you need to get notes from a friend or ask John about the material. He does not use class notes. You will learn the material the right way and learn how to go through passages efficiently. There's a part called the workshops where he does passages with you. It's the best part of the class in my opinion. He likes the AAMC tests. They have other tests but he says he prefers using AAMC material. There's a nice continuation policy. I actually took the course twice. The continuation fee was 200 when I took the course. My friend in the class now says that it went up to 300. CONS: I already mentioned that I'm a big fan of the class so take what I say with that in mind. The class is very hands-on. You can't miss class or you might feel like you missed a LOT. However, if you plan ahead and take 2 rounds of the class like I did, you can afford to skip a day or two. His approach to the content is honestly awesome but you can't find that treatment in a book and the classes sometimes build on one another - not as much for bio but a lot for physics and CARS. So again, don't miss class. If you think you are going to miss a lot of the class, repeat the class. Books and youtube videos won't help make up for the missing days. I tired that. The class is popular so depending on the time of year it can get really packed. My first round was completely packed but my second was a bit more roomy. I think John handles a large class well. He says he likes the interaction. I didn't mind and it's true that there were more questions my first time. ______________________________________________ I don't normally write much on Yelp but I had to since I stumbled on that previous review. That person has clearly never been in the class or at least the MCAT class. Maybe they were a DAT student. I only took the MCAT course so I don't know. The one big mistake the reviewer made: no one taking the actual course will believe that John does not care. If anything he is the MOST caring teacher I've ever had. He would stay late AFTER class answering questions about the material. He would also stay and help me and the others with our general concerns and anxiety. As a premed I had plenty and I'm sure you can relate. It just makes me so annoyed that someone posing as a student would say that given that the one thing John does is GO ABOVE AND BEYOND for his students. Sorry for the rant. I had to get that out. Good luck, everyone. It's a tough road but if I could make it, you can.

    I just started celebrating because I got the score I needed for graduate school while writing this…read morereview...already intoxicated but will try to make it readable... Absolutely AMAZING! I have spent so much money on GRE prep services (thousands) but this is by far the best thing that actually made a HUGE impact on my GRE score overall. I cannot say enough about Charles and his ability to teach the material. He is both passionate and constantly full of energy... that's probably an understatement. Although he sometimes goes quickly through the material, he will ALWAYS stop if you have questions on how to go about answering the questions. In addition, he is always adamant about getting the students to text him, calling, emailing, carrier pigeon-ing, with questions that pertain to the material if you are having trouble. The tricks and strategy on ways he taught me on how to approach each question on the GRE test allowed me to answer most of the questions that I struggled with. He is one of the greatest factors that allowed me to put this burden that has plagued my progression in life down like a dirty dog... so dirty... In addition, the online modules that accompany the Princeton Review is exceptional! Not only are both the presenters attractive (not bisexual) but they go over in detail on how to approach each question step-by-step which allowed me to answer most of the questions that came up on the GRE. I can't speak for those who had bad experience from the MCAT or any other test but, regarding the GRE, Princeton Review is what allowed me to get through this test (with the addition of memorizing an a@@ load of flashcards) and able to finally apply to the graduate schools that will allow me to finally be able to call myself doctor!!!

Did they reach out again, did they threaten you? I was just wondering if there is any way that we can take this complaint to another place because it's truly not right what these guys are doing. The threats are scary and I honestly believe they should be stopped."

As someone who values…read moreeducation I did not want to hit a tutor for someone in my family without doing my best to ensure they were the perfect tutor for the job. I searched high and low (including online tutoring sites that let you choose your tutor) the outcome was fruitless.  Tutors who swore to have years of experience either were not as familiar with the material as they claimed or could not eloquently TEACH it. Also, the companies that charged ridiculous amounts like $150/hr did not show much for it. I know this because when trying Tutor Me LA, I also hired another tutor from a high-end tutoring company and Tutor Me LA's tutor was not only cheaper but MUCH MORE proficient.  We needed a few tutors - A gmat tutor, LSAT tutor, and a Math tutor. EVERY SINGLE tutor Tutor Me LA sent over was great. Their Guarantee took any hesitancy we had about scheduling a session and now I see why. This place offers outstanding service and their tutors are just fantastic.  Do your research. Make sure you find a tutor that can commit. Call this place first :)

I am most grateful to Todd for being one of a kind, down to earth, and humble human being who has so much experience as a professor. Not only is he such a great teacher, but he also has so much knowledge about medical school, applications and much more and shared with the students. My daughter would drive sometimes up to two hours to attend class and would come home happy and excited every time because of having received so much knowledge from everyone who shared their experiences. Todd, his wife - who also teaches - and all the other instructors are amazing! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please continue giving hope and knowledge with that generous, kind and sincere heart. This the best program out there because is taught with heart. Up to this day my daughter emails Todd with questions about the course because her test is coming up and he is always there for her and offers to meet with her and classmates on the weekends to answer all questions to get her ready for her upcoming exam even though he doesn't have to. This is what I call a world-class prep course!
