"I tell my students, 'This is your journey.' Too many educators only teach with the methods that worked for them. Your education is yours. Understanding what you want and how you learn empowers you to find and follow a successful and meaningful life path. That does not mean you will never do anything that you would prefer not to do or that everything will come easily. That's where I can support you." -Megan

"My goal has always been to empower my students to take advantage of opportunities previous generations could only dream of. Whether I was teaching Shakespeare and composition at UC Berkeley, or co-founding the Bay Area Tutoring Summit, or starting three educational companies, or writing curriculum for many others—self-realization has been the common thread. I came to focus on test prep because it is a wonderful educational vehicle (though it is rarely used as such). Specifically, 25 years in education has taught me that the best test prep must be holistic, performance-based, metacognitive and collaborative. Not only does our model lead to great scores, but the process is designed to be educationally transformational."

We began trying to hire Megan Burstein roughly five years before she was able to leave her former position to join Bodsat Prep; she's that awesome! Megan manages registrations, material creation, student progress, and Bodsat's internal systems. Megan's attention to detail, efficiency, and professionalism enable her to support our students, their families, and their college counseling teams as well as our internal teams. She is an incredible asset.
