Strategies ON Strategies On Strategies!

I just finished Sean's Strategy course and I must say that my nerves are no longer shot. Sean breaks down how to look at graphs but read them and decipher them for the MCAT. Of course with practice I will be faster but at least now I have the proper tools to get me to my goal score.Thanks Sean!

This company helped me so much and I am grateful. At the beginning, I encountered a few difficulties with my schedule maker but Sean was helpful the whole time and got everything squared away as soon as I told him. The customer service is great!

My new schedule maker/tutor, Henry, was really amazing. He knew how to tailor it to my school schedule and kept things doable while still pushing me to excel. I could ask him advice and he was always supportive. Sean and this company helped me a lot with identifying places where I could make improvements.

I found Sean Studies in June 2019 after I took my first MCAT and wasn't happy with the result. Sean was actually my tutor and I couldn't have asked for a better situation. He created a study plan suited just for me, as I am in my senior year with a very full plate. I was always able to check in with him for advice and support during the study process. I received my results yesterday from the January test and my score increased 10 points. I couldn't be more thrilled . I highly recommend Sean and his company if you want a personal expereince with your MCAT prep.

I worked with Sean Studies after using a Princeton Review Boot Camp to prepare for my MCAT and I immediately noticed an improvement in my content retention and understanding. I highly recommend Sean Studies if you are a retaker and looking for a customized study plan. Sean and his team are extremely supportive and make themselves available to you when you need their help. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Sean and Haley and wish all test prep companies approached the MCAT like they do.

I had the material that I wanted to use and a rough timeline of when I planned to take my MCAT. If you are unsure or just even a little bit stuck on how put all of that together in a daily, reasonable workload, I highly recommend Sean Studies! I definitely felt that this process was much more doable after building my plan with Sean Studies.

Sean Studies provides personalized MCAT preparation that really helps you see where you are and what you need to work on. Sean Studies helps you pin point exactly it is what you need to work on and gives you the best way to go about improving on these areas. Sean Studies doesn't just treat you as another person with the same plan as everyone else, but instead forms a plan that will work for you and will help you get the best score possible.

Sean Studies is a unique MCAT preparatory course that I found to be more realistic than Kaplan, ExamCrackers, and other preparatory courses. I significantly increased my score using this program. Sean and Haylie were phenomenal mentors and exceptional in teaching their methods on an approach to scoring high on the MCAT.

I highly recommend this preparatory course to other MCAT test-takers.

Working with Sean Studies was the best decision for my MCAT prep! The one-on-one tutoring was incredibly personalized and helpful in tackling my specific weaknesses. No matter how major or minor any content gaps were, Sean was very knowledgeable and able to help. The strategies Sean taught really helped me look at the exam in a different way and learn how to take the test too. Working with AAMC material immensely increased my confidence when approaching AAMC questions and definitely helped me on test day. Through my time working with Sean, my practice scores have increased by 13 points! Sean is so helpful and I absolutely recommend using Sean Studies!

Sean Studies helped me with my personal statement and I couldn't be happier with the turn out. After months of putting off writing it because I felt uninspired and lost about what to write, I decided to email Sean Studies. The people I worked with knew the exact information to draw out from me and the questions to ask so that a personal statement fell together with my own words and touch. After only a few weeks I had PS done and ready to go, and it was one I am genuinely proud of. 5 stars is not enough for my experience. If your stuck, this is the place to turn to!

Sean Studies helped me develop an amazing strategy for tackling all sorts of passages on the MCAT, especially B/B and CARS. Sean was always quick to answer emails and made sure to check up on how I'm doing. I had Abrar as my tutor, and she was amazing! She completely changed my outlook on approaching passages and timing. After reviewing with her, specifically about time management and strategy, I went up 7 points on my last AAMC FL! For the MCAT, it is essential to have a strategy ready - the one she taught allowed me to achieve a strong understanding of each passage. At Sean Studies, their encouragement was also appreciated, they would never stop believing in me on good and bad days of MCAT prep! My tutor Abrar even set up sessions with me while she was traveling in another country! I am very grateful that I found Sean Studies and I recommend them to anyone!

Sean studies was amazing at helping me with my personal statement! I already had a draft written and he made so many helpful comments that really helped me focus in on what I wanted to get across.
Writing a personal statement can be hard, but Sean really helped me reflect on my experiences and why I want to become a physician. If anyone needs personal statement help I can't think of anyone better to help than Sean!!

Sean Studies has been extremely helpful in boosting my confidence by mentoring me and providing me with tools and resources I needed to set me up for success. Sean has been an amazing tutor and I can't thank him enough for the constant encouragement and help on my MCAT journey! If you need help or direction with studying for the MCAT, I highly recommend consulting Sean Studies. I am confident they will be able to set you up on a path to success, just as they did for me :)

To be quite honest, I had no idea what I was signed up for. I didn't really know what this program would be about, but boy did it change my study strategy. This program immediately boosted my confidence in those MCAT practice passages that have complicated experiments, long pathways, and data analysis- things that I had previously been rushing through because I felt like I understood them, but that I wasn't taking seriously enough. My passage scores increased immediately, and I adored how interactive the program was. Each participant had the opportunity to walk through passages for the group, with tons of support and assistance from Sean. The atmosphere of the entire program was very encouraging and supportive, and I highly recommend this program for anyone who is anywhere in their MCAT studying journey!

THE BEST company and tutors in the business. They know what they are talking about and could explain it to students in simple terms. They go out of their way to help us and its phenomenal. Bootcamp is one of the best ways you can improve your score. Doing a 6-hour boot camp was worth it and I couldn't be any happier. Thank you, Sean and the team! You guys are truly great!

Sean helped review my personal statement and was super helpful in doing so! His comments helped me focus what I wanted to say, and really helped get who I am across to the ADCOMS.

Sean Studies helped me become a better comprehensive test taker. Daily passages, Dynamic strategy. It forces you to change, and change for the better. I wouldn’t have had this confidence level in preparing for my MCAT if it wasn’t for Sean Studies!

Sean Studies provided me with free practice passages. Sean was extremely friendly and very helpful. He reached out to me and asked how my prep was going for MCAT. He was very open to sharing ideas and gave me confidence that I could do well on MCAT. It feels great to be part of Sean Studies. One of the best groups out there.

Sean is such an amazing instructor!!! I was so impressed with the affordable and in depth science workshop. I felt that in that short time I got more out those five hours than I have gotten in numerous hours of Kaplan test prep.So I just want to say thank you. I test in a very short time and I am purchasing one of your tutoring programs, because of this course and because of the personal meeting that we had. Your honesty, integrity, and passion for my success gives me hope and assurance to see that point increase that I am looking for on test day. I am so excited to start and look forward to posting about my awesome MCAT score I am on my way to getting. Thank you so much Sean!!! What your company offers is incredible and thank you for really relating to the pre med students and making it affordable; I will recommend this program to anybody prepping for their MCAT!!!
