I was nervous at first to do Zoom tutoring vs in person but the whole experience has been really great. My daughter loves her tutoring sessions and has been making significant progress at school. Mrs. Brinchman sends a detailed recap of the sessions same day and has given me advice on how I can help my daughter. I only wish we had started tutoring with Mrs. Brinchman sooner. Also we did have connectivity issues when using our Chromebook but when we switched to our Apple computer we didn't have any issues.

It's year 2024 that's NUTS!!! So wasted time & money and my daughter spending and building a relationship with this teacher for her then to stop tutoring due to software system: ITS ONLINE TUTORING. That makes no sense to me. I hope to help future families not make the same mistake or waste their time.

I engaged Vince about 4 months into my GRE prep. Prior to working with Vince, I had worked with one…read moreother tutor that was much too formulaic in his approach to the test. Vince tutored me via Zoom. His remote setup enabled us to have productive exchanges as he was equipped with technology that facilitated easy learning. I'm including this in my review because my previous tutor did not possess the necessary technology to properly conduct remote learning. More importantly, Vince worked with me to apply focus to my GRE study, directing me to the right materials--I had previously only studied 3rd party material. He also helped me to stay on track with weekly study plans that matched my time commitment. In our 90 minute tutoring sessions, we spent our time mostly discussing verbal topics. Most valuable was that verbal discussions with Vince built the necessary experience that enabled me to understand how ETS presents the logic in the TC/SE questions types and what ETS is looking for when presenting their RC question types. As a native English speaker, I had to re-engineer how I read the passages and questions presented in the GRE. My tutoring sessions with Vince helped me acquire the test taking "finesse" in the verbal section that I needed to go from scoring in the 70th percentile (May 2021 test) to scoring in the 96th percentile (July 2021 test). If you have the resources, I strongly recommend connecting with Vince or at least consider taking his online Verbal GRE prep course. Finally, some general test-taking advice re: the GRE. The GRE is a game and you're there to play its 80 little puzzles. One of the best pieces of advice I got from Vince himself: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test." This advice really resonated with me and I took it to heart, eventually attaining the score I wanted. So, to my fellow test taker: "Be patient, build experience, and take your time with the test."

I have been a client of Inspire In-Home Tutoring for approximately 8 years. I've had both son and daughter tutored by the professionals Jenny has sought out. Every tutor that has come to our home has been very professional and have helped out children from 4 grade math to Trigonometry. Besides conducting themselves very professionally they have always been very knowledgeable in their respective field as well. We have always felt comfortable with their persona as well. The latter was a concern with letting anyone come into our home and tutoring our children but after seeing the quality of tutors Jenny has sent out our minds have always been at ease. We are extremely lucky to have found Jenny and still use her services to this day. I Highly recommended InSpire In Home Tutoring! Thanks for all your help!

I worked with Dr. Donnelly specifically for CARS; however, I truly do think that our work together…read morehelped me across the board. He introduced me to methodical ways to approach reading passages, fully comprehend the questions, what to do when you are stuck, and more. Prior to working with Dr. Donnelly, I had no method for answering CARS questions, and oftentimes I lacked confidence in my answers. After working with Dr. Donnelly, I ended up getting a 130 on CARS and a 525 overall. I think part of what made our work together so impactful was that he really taught me how to understand and approach the MCAT in a way I hadn't been previously. He always explained questions in a way that made sense -- sometimes offering several explanations to make sure I understood the logic behind each question or approach I was confused on. Additionally, he provided me with so much practice material (including full lengths) that I really felt like I could properly target my weaknesses. For example, running out of time was always an issue for me; however with Dr. Donnelly's method and materials, I was able to increase my speed immensely! As I said previously, I really think that I was able to take what he taught me in CARS and apply it to other sections -- especially when I was stuck. In our weeks working together, my understanding and confidence grew immensely; when approaching questions, I could really see the reasoning behind one answer being correct versus incorrect. I strongly recommend Dr. Donnelly to anyone studying for the MCAT!

On test day, I was able to score in the 88th percentile overall, a vast improvement from my previous scores. I could not recommend him more for your MCAT needs!
