Happy to be the first to write a review! I took the Group TPR Hyperlearning MCAT Classroom Course…read morestarting December of 2011. I thought my Chemistry instructor was awesome. His lectures were clear and to the point. His name was John, but I don't know if he teaches there anymore. It's a crapshoot how experienced your MCAT instructors will be. Some will be first time teachers. One big negative was during my course Princeton was scrambling to find a Physics tutor to teach our course. I thought that was really unprofessional. I was starting to sweat as I knew that would be my most difficult section to master. I think out of all the MCAT prep companies, I think the Princeton materials are the best. The online test and question bank is amazing. They give you so many practice tests including all the AAMCs. Since, the MCAT is taken on the computer, I found it most helpful to do questions and practice tests online. The review books are pretty good, except I think the biology prep book is WAY too detailed and you should probably go with a shorter book like Examkrackers. The questions and passages in the big TPR book are plentiful and I recommend you do all of them. The TPRH verbal book practice I think represents the MCAT passages the most out of all the other prep companies. Overall, I recommend TPRH's MCAT course over the rest of the prep companies. Mostly because they have the best materials. If I could do it all over again, I would have opted for the online video course and saved a few bucks and still get the benefits of the question/test bank. The quality of the instructors is probably more consistent. Most of my classmates also stopped attending some of the classroom sessions because they got lazy or found studying on their own more useful. Overall, your MCAT score will mostly depend on your self study and practicing problems rather than passively attending a course. The big plus you get with a course is just the materials, which might be hard to get a hold of otherwise. One extra tip: If your online Princeton materials are about to expire you can extend your access for about 100 bucks if you decide to push back your test date.

This new staff on Bandera Road is absolutely incompetent. I refuse to let my child attend this facility any longer than he has already had to endure. We will be moving to a Kumon location where he will fine tune his skills there. I want for readers to understand that the teachers and the program at the Bandera Rd. Sylvan Center are wonderful and they have helped my son get back on grade level when it comes to reading. However, the Center Director is a piece of work and I am not able to be in the same room as her.

I came into his class a nervous wreck, convinced I'd never understand all those process groups,…read moreknowledge areas, and acronyms that sounded more like robot names than project management tools. But Baodi? Baodi taught -- not just lectured. His teaching style actually made the concepts click in my brain like Tetris pieces. He broke things down in a way that made even the most intimidating material (I'm looking at you, Earned Value formulas) feel like common sense. But more than that, Baodi cared. When I was overwhelmed and freaking out over the test, he stayed behind after class just to encourage me, calmly talk me through it, and give me solid pointers. That's the kind of human he is. What really stuck with me during the exam (besides Baodi's voice in my head saying "READ. THE. QUESTION.") was when he told me: Remember your why. That moment hit me hard. My why? My husband. My kids. The people I love and the reason I push through the hard stuff. Thanks to Baodi, I passed the exam -- but more importantly, I've become a better project manager in real life. I'm not just applying what I learned to hypothetical case studies anymore. I'm making real decisions with confidence, clarity, and a little voice in the back of my head whispering, "What would Baodi do?" Thank you, Baodi. You didn't just help me pass a test -- you helped me grow. And that's the kind of impact that lasts. Ps. I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review!

Baodi focused on what was important in each domain and not only focused on what to study but also what type of questions you would expect and how to handle each question type?.Also, he walked us though how to properly apply for the exam on the PMI website. Boadi kept the course fresh and the class engaged, using examples from his work experience intertwined through throughout the course. I was mentally prepared on how to study for the RMP exam and was able to pass the exam on the first try. Once again, I recommend not prepping for the exam on your own and taking Baodi's course.

I give this business less than 1 Star out of 5 Stars…read more Nestled between a sex shop and a CBD store, Mathnasium of San Antonio, has gone from a stellar business under the previous ownership of Mrs. Mary Patrick who had multiple Phd candidate tutors and low tutor to student ratio, to a lack-luster tutoring business with teen tutors constantly on their cell phones and students not receiving the attention required for real math progress. My children attended Mathnasium for 3 years. 2 years under Mrs. Mary and 1 yr under Mrs. Navaro (the new owner). The quality of tutoring is not worth the large expense being asked of parents under the new owner's business model. The new management is interested in getting the most money out of parents without providing the highest caliber of tutoring. Mr. Navaro is not a skilled math tutor. She has difficulty with anything beyond elementary math whereas the previous owner, Mrs. Patrick had 30+ yrs of math experience and could navigate the tutoring business. Presently, with COVID 19, Mathnasium offers online tutoring. The online Mathnasium forum is difficult to maneuver and is constantly having technical problems. The new owner will dazzle you with her smile and promises of amazing progress but the commitment to your child will not be heart felt. I strongly recommend hiring a private tutor who can provide your child consistent attention at the SAME price or lower that you will pay Mathnasium of San Antonio.

Mathnasium has helped my daughters tremendously! They started at center at Bitters and West Ave…read more when they were in 7th and 8th grade with Algebra and Algebra II. I looked at other styles of Math tutoring and other Mathnasium locations and I BELIEVE THIS METHOD AND THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION IS BEST!!! I am a believer in a firm foundation in math and this program gave us a way to achieve that foundation. My older daughter had a few things she did not understand and the staff was great at explaining the solutions in different ways and then making sure she understood the concept before moving on. My younger daughter is a speed racer on all homework and they were able to convince her to slow down and minimize careless mistakes. They also convinced her that "her way", which yielded incorrect answers was not the best way to do the problems. The center's biggest accomplishment was that both of them like going and want to go. I would have never guess that could have happened. Both my daughters liked and respected every tutor and staff member they encountered. The best way to work the program to receive the most value, is to have the student tested (required), then have the student work through their individually prescribed program to ensure the student has a mastery of mathematical content at least to the level they are taking in school. They understand that we all have real lives and school homework and tests do not pause until the student is ready. For these cases, they are more than willing to help the student understand the current concept the class is working on and to help with their homework. I was surprised to see what concepts from past grades my daughters needed to complete to mastery. I also feel a lot better knowing that holes have been filled which enables them to better understand new concepts. Basic tutoring puts a band-aid on a symptom, Mathnasium strives to diagnose the problem causing to the symptom. By strengthening past weaknesses, your child will be more capable of learning the new concepts in class the first time it is taught. Another thought....you know those kids that are always good at math and are messing up the curve on what seems like every test? They go to Mathnasium too! If I had it to do over again, I would go before I started seeing problems with their math. An added bonus....Probably the best thing each kid leaves Mathnasium with, besides a small piece of candy :), is a bold confidence in themselves and their ability to master math! Yes, it costs money, and no, it isn't super cheap, but the value greatly exceeds the cost. Not understanding math does not fix itself for the majority of people. Don't let your child grow up to be one of those people that believes they just don't get math. Given the right tools and encouragement, everyone can thrive in math.
