FAQ

How and where do the sessions take place?

All tutoring is done via an online video platform like Zoom or Skype. This ensures the utmost convenience for both the student and the tutor. Students like you, who have limited time to study, can easily arrange a time with our expert tutors, without having to travel! This allows you to get tutoring where and when you need it, while still receiving personal service.

Is there a lesson plan and schedule?

Our MD tutors have had incredible success in getting students the scores they want. Score improvements generally range from 35-55 points. It is important to keep in mind that individual improvement is dependent on the student and we do not offer a guaranteed score improvement. However, our hundreds of successful students have track records that speak for themselves.

What materials do you use?

While there are various resources available, one of the most important is the gold standard in USMLE prep – First Aid. This book is used as a reference for major content topics, while various question banks such as UWorld are also used to solidify students’ understanding of newly taught material. Students can also add material to study from, and your tutor will help build the appropriate materials into your curriculum.

How often do you meet? How much do you charge?

Session frequency ranges from daily to weekly, and exact times and hours can be scheduled depending on your personal needs. The typical hourly rate with our expert tutors is $175/hour but may be more for more challenging or complex cases. As one of our successful students stated: “It’s hard for a medical student to spend money on a tutor when we already have loans and so many other expenses, but I think it’s clear that in the long run this tutoring pays for itself. Going to the right residency program ultimately will be a bigger payoff than the cost – and the right tutor will get you there!”
