What Terry's students are saying

"Dr. Lee was very helpful and structured the sessions in a way that I could easily understand with regards to my learning curve around subject-material that hasn't been reviewed by me in years."

"Terry was extremely helpful in navigating my unique challenges in preparing for STEP 2 CK and was able to work with me in my very limited time window. He made himself very available for questions and was very encouraging throughout the studying process."

"Dr. Lee was very helpful and had structured the session in a way that I could easily understand with regards to my learning curve around subject-material that hasn't been reviewed by me in years. I'd be more than happy to continue tutoring with him and my hope is that he will continue to be patient with me considering how much work my 1-on-1 sessions will require. "
