Shiva V. - MCAT Private Course

The MCAT Private Course was excellent overall. I chose Manhattan Elite Prep because of the amazing instructors such as Paul Bruno. He is a very experienced teacher with expertise on the topics he teaches. He spoke clearly and there was an easy facilitation of discussion during our sessions. I felt all topics were well covered and I was prepared for my exam after the course.

Hope all is well. My MCAT results came back this past week and I got a 507. My goal was always to get a 507 and up, so I can say my goal was accomplished. I also found it funny how you predicted what I was going to get. Thank you so much for your time, patience, and determination in what you do. I know for a fact that this +7 scores jump had to do with your tutoring and all of your great tips and explanations. My family and I really appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. I am in the process of completing my secondaries now.

Alyssa K. - MCAT Tutoring (Online; Based in Philadelphia, PA)

Emily was very professional and really took her time explaining things to me. She was the most patient tutor I've ever worked with. She was really good at explaining things in different ways if I was having trouble understanding the original way she explained it. She helped me approach questions in different ways and this is what truly got me where I wanted to be. Test strategy and directed studying to fill voids in material. My MCAT score went up 5 points after working with Emily! She was receptive to what I needed and the changing material. Each session we did something a little different to cater to what I needed. We mostly did practice questions together. Each time I didn't answer correctly, she took the time to ask why I made that choice and helped me understand the correct answer. Every session was helpful. There was never a topic she couldn't explain. She was so knowledgeable! Also, since she had taken the exam before, it was comforting to hear her talk from experience. Thank you Emily! Wishing you the best in your first year and into the future.

I took the MCAT and got a score of 33! I am more than happy!! Many thanks to Manhattan Elite Prep and special thanks to my instructor, who did a great job preparing me for the MCAT!

I like how we go through a question thoroughly and the instructor explains it so that everybody understands it. The instructor was able to pinpoint my weaknesses. Through this course, I know all of my faults and how to improve them.

I worked with Paul B at Manhattan Elite prep several times a week for about 4 months for MCAT prep. I had received a score that I was not pleased with originally, and Paul was able to help me figure out the areas to focus on in order to raise the score. This was mainly the physical science section. I learned how to read the passages, what to look for in the questions, and how to identify the specific passage type. With these tools, I was able to narrow down what steps to take next. Paul also taught me to work quickly and efficiently by memorizing how to understand common figures and passage types, when to use which equations, and how to maintain optimal timing as I moved through each test section. Paul was also very uplifting and confident in me, which really helped on the days where I was feeling like I couldn't succeed. Additionally, we had begun working together with the plan to meet for 2 months, at which point I would take the MCAT. Unfortunately, my test date was pushed back on several occasions. Paul was very gracious to work with me for so long, and kept adding more detailed and difficult things to learn as we progressed. Additionally, he was very motivating to keep pushing through and never quit as plans continued to change or be completely up in the air. In the end, my overall score increased by 8 points/25 percentile points, and my physical science score when up by 38 percentile points. I am very grateful to Paul and Manhattan Elite Prep for supporting me on this difficult endeavor, and I highly recommend that anyone needing support on the MCAT (or any other big test) set themselves up for success by prepping with them.
