The first time I met with Clark, I was impressed that he took time to understand my strengths and weaknesses before delving into subjects I wanted to work on. He asked me questions about subjects I thought I knew well only to find room for improvement. During our meetings, he focussed on how I learn and pushed me to understand details I previously neglected. He had the intuition to know whether I truly understood the material. Most importantly, he pushed to see if I had the knowledge required to answer MCAT style questions. His quizzing ensured that I could quickly answer questions I struggled with in the past. Not only was Clark well-tuned to the MCAT and the details one must know to get a good score, but he had numerous resources that were extremely helpful. He has very extensive and very helpful notes on practically every subject in physics and chemistry. These notes were of particular use when I was out of town working an internship in Chicago. While I was out of town, I still wanted to work with Clark. He was flexible and agreed to tutor me over Skype. We used google documents to draw diagrams in order to discuss problems. After working with Clark for two months, I already sense an improvement, not only in how much I understand the material we have reviewed, but also on the way I approach the typical MCAT-type problem. When I recently took the MCAT, I felt prepared. (I raised my score by *FOUR* points!) I cannot stress how important it is to feel prepared on your test day. Having a tutor like Clark can make a world of difference when you sit down to take the test and you realize you know the answers to the questions you are being tested on.

Our experience with Morrissey Compton was through Peninsula School during the 2022-2023 school…read moreyear, when management of an unruly third grade class was outsourced to the educational support center. Nearly a third of the students in this class were identified as requiring further evaluation by Morrissey Compton (you do the math of $4,000+ per evaluation) or unable to be served by the school. For those requiring further evaluation, Morrissey Compton's very junior psychologist provided the most general behavioral considerations to justify the evaluations and she was unwittingly used by the school administrators to deny the students' reenrollment. Independent evaluations did not support the observations of Morrissey Compton's psychologist. What was the common finding that Morrissey Compton failed to observe? The class had been left to its own devices due an inexperienced teacher with 1) no establishment of baseline rules, 2) over-reliance on short-term rewards systems long proven to be ineffective, and 3) an attendance record that effectively left the children without anyone in charge. Which is, of course, why the majority of the class ended up leaving the school.

I'm a recent graduate of Palo Alto High School. I started SAT prep around late freshman year,…read morejumping around test prep places to try and raise my math score. I always ended up back at FLEX--Philip, who teaches math, is incredible. He genuinely loves what he's doing and last time I asked, he had more than 1000 hours of tutoring, so he really knows all sorts of tips and tricks to combat the SAT which helped improve my scores. Aside from SAT math prep, I also did college counseling at FLEX with Dan starting sophomore year and I will say that sitting through several ego-beating sessions ("your dream school is a little unrealistic" and such) was well worth it in the end: I got into every single "target" school Dan suggested. I should also just put out there that he is a pretty cool guy. Dan is super understanding and patient if you and your family are confused as to how the college process works, as mine were. I was lucky enough to receive an acceptance from one of my "reach" schools and will be headed there for my freshman year. Though I can't say Philip+Dan= automatic acceptance, both of them and FLEX in general really provided a sense of security during college admissions season by giving me a realistic list of schools to apply to. Overall, the whole point of the college admissions process is to give yourself as many options as possible. FLEX helped me choose the right ones.
