Quick facts: 1) Westwood is Berkeley Review's biggest center (where their master teachers teach) 2) Berkeley Review is the

only company with an MCAT-only study center in the Los Angeles area 3) Todd and Dale (the founders) both teach in Westwood Location: 1074 Gayley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025 Center includes a waiting area where students may study, a spacious classroom that comfortably seats 28 students, has two additional study tables, a snack table, four whiteboards, and state of the art audiovisual equipment, and a laptop computer area for computer prep work. There is no other center in California designed 100% for premedical students preparing for the MCAT. (Outstanding) Instructors/Tutors: Out team consists of eight experienced teachers delivering highquality lectures that are painstakingly developed and redeveloped several times per year. Our teaching philosophy is simple. Help students learn to do better on multiple-choice questions on the MCAT. This entails building a science vocabulary, understanding many concepts, thinking logically, becoming fast at integrating multiple concepts, avoiding careless errors, and mastering test-taking skills. Our teachers are selected for their ability to teach these skills. Many teachers are hired to teach just one to three of our lecture topics (we have forty-four total topic lectures as well as five skills lectures), to ensure that every class has excellent instruction at those specific subjects. Our teachers are experts at what they teach. We have been fortunate enough to once again keep our Westwood teaching team intact including a Pepperdine professor and our founders are once again teaching. We have added two new tutors to the team for this year. Listed below are the members of our teaching and tutoring team.

Maybe because they had to work so hard to become a doctor, they work that much harder as a doctor.
