Frequently asked questions about USMLE tutoring

How much does USMLE tutoring cost?

It depends on the format. Our plans and pricing are listed on our Services page, from single 1-on-1 sessions to full programs and group sessions. Group sessions cost less per hour; 1-on-1 tutoring is built entirely around you.

Is online USMLE tutoring effective?

Sessions are held online over Zoom, which is what lets your tutor team stay reachable 24/7, keep session recordings in your progress dashboard and fit sessions around clinical rotations.

Do you tutor for Step 2 CK as well as Step 1?

Yes. We prepare students for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 3, COMLEX Level 1, Level 2-CE and Level 3, and ABIM boards. One student raised his Step 2 score 50+ points.

Individual results vary; these outcomes are not typical.

What is a high-yield study plan?

A plan that spends your time on what moves your score. We build a customized study schedule around your test date and weak spots, rebuild your Anki deck with spaced repetition, and track your practice exams so we can adjust fast.

Do you work with repeat test takers?

Yes, we work extensively with repeat test takers. One Wyzant reviewer had plateaued at 200–220 on Step 2 practice exams and scored 249 about six weeks after starting; another passed COMLEX Level 3 after two previous attempts.

Individual results vary; these outcomes are not typical.

Do you tutor in languages other than English?

The team speaks French, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish and Telugu, which many international medical graduates find helpful.
