Great course taught by a great teacher! John really show you how to handle MCAT problems in a…read more"mellow" way. I was always amazed at how he would pick apart problems with very little content. the first part of the course covers material; the second part covers practice and strategy. Perfect for me since liked going to lecture and learning directly from them. He doesn't use books so you need to go to class. CARS was one of my favorite parts of the class. He really showed me how to read and break down passages. It really changed the way I looked at the test. In the end I did fine of the MCAT- 516 and I owe a lot of that to Swartwood + hard work!!

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!!!

The threats are scary and I honestly believe they should be stopped."

Finding a tutor in Los Angeles was much more complicated than I expected. 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 :)

This review is for his MFT national license practice tests. I spent over $200 on the 10 pack…read morepractice test and it was the absolute worst experience. I had previously passed 2 practice tests from the PTC website, so I was feeling confident and just wanted more practice before the actual test. However, the tests I got were incredibly difficult and it felt like each question I was trying to solve a riddle rather than answer the question. Which now having passed the actual national exam, I can tell you is not accurate to the actual test. These practice tests had me freaking out and gave me a ton of anxiety for absolutely no reason. It was a huge waste of money, and I only took 3 of the practice tests before my supervisors advised me to stop taking them because they didn't agree with the questions either. This is in hopes that someone else who is taking their test comes along this review and does not waste their time or money!!

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!

My excitement about my son having ISEE prep at Renaissance Kids quickly faded after meeting Frank…read more He is very rude and curt with the children. After I signed my son up, I spoke with former families and even a teacher, and was told that Frank should not be around kids because of his condescending demeanor. I am unable to recommend RK to anyone because of Frank. Anna and Danielle were okay. One last thing. Once I went to drop my son off at the upstairs classroom, and there was not an adult in the classroom, just several unsupervised kids. Anna, Frank, and Danielle were all downstairs. I always walked my son up to the classroom, and I'm glad I did. There should never, ever be a child in the classroom without a RK adult present. On that day I waited until an adult came upstairs before leaving my child for his class.

Renaissance Kids is the ultimate learning institution!…read more I have been coming to Renaissance since I was about 7 years old. Anna, Frank, and Danielle have all helped me succeed in my academic studies. When I was younger, I was tutored in spanish and math. Around the age of 13, I attended ISEE testing camps and when Junior year came around, I attended SAT testing camps, along with private tutoring. I can't remember who taught my ISEE camp, though I remember that Frank ran my SAT camp. Renaissance provided me (and the rest of the students) with the most elaborate binder I have ever owned! My SAT binder was filled with practice tests, explanations, vocabulary lists, latin root lists, and even a weekly agenda that listed the plans for each time our "camp group" met and our homework. ..And the improvements were clearly visible after testing days past by! I have found myself at Renaissance Kids the most during my last two years of high school. Danielle has truly been a friend at hand with my senior essays, including my research paper! The way she thinks and her level of intelligence just blows me away and I can trust her with any question I have with my papers. Renaissance whole-heartedly wants their students to achieve their goals, be happy, and succeed in their futures. I'm definitely going to miss them when I depart for college! Renaissance is not a waste of your time, money, gas, or energy. Give them a chance, I assure you, you will be satisfied!

I would strongly caution families before working with this tutoring company…read more The experience has been deeply disappointing on multiple levels: lack of professionalism, lack of transparency, and practices that feel misleading at best. Revolution provides no clear instructional plan or academic strategy and no visibility into what actually happens during sessions. Full session recordings are not shared, there are no parent check-ins, and after-session email "summaries" are short, unspecific, and completely useless. Like the previous reviewer stated, this company advertises standard hour-long sessions, but in practice they consistently run significantly shorter than 60 minutes, often under 55 minutes. The administrative side of the company is just as problematic as the tutoring itself. When you call, staff are defensive and avoid answering basic questions. The overall impression is that Revolution's priority is protecting the company and avoiding accountability. For a company that markets itself as a premium academic service, the level of professionalism and service falls far short of expectations. Don't waste your time -- at this point, there are so many online tutoring companies that there is zero reason to take a risk with Revolution Prep and gamble with your child's education and time.
