Testimonials

  • “I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with MedBoardTutors for the last 7 weeks and have already seen an improvement in my foundation as well as my critical reading skills. They are not only extremely knowledgeable of medicine, but also very patient and work to make sure you understand the material. The sessions are either going through specific questions that you have on the material that you are having difficulty with or it is going through the question bank. The sessions are active and they make sure to test you to reinforce the material. With the question banks, they help with interpreting the clinical vignettes and dissecting it, line by line and then go over the answer choices. They are very friendly and approachable so do not be afraid to ask any questions. I already feel my confidence is growing as I work with MedBoardTutors, and I am sure you will too.”

  • "I was fortunate to work with MedBoardTutors towards the end of my Step 2 CK preparation. They were instrumental in clarifying all of many concepts that I did not have command of. They were very patient. They were willing to explain concepts over and over until I understood it. They know the material inside out and are gifted in teaching that material. They also just exude goodness. I really believe that I was able to reach my goals with this exam because of working with MedBoardTutors. I highly recommend their tutoring services."

  • “I am very happy to have worked with MedBoardTutors. In our first meeting, we discussed what to expect from our tutoring sessions. They made a schedule for me from when we started working together up to the exam, which has been so helpful to keep on track with all the material that I had to study without feeling overwhelmed. During our sessions, we review the material and they tell me what is high-yield and make sure that I am understanding the material by asking questions. Also, they make sure that I am associating/integrating different topics that are relevant. In some sessions, we go over question bank questions and how to tackle them. They are very approachable and encouraging, which has helped to keep my stress at bay. They are an amazing and very knowledgeable group of tutors. I definitely recommend them.”

  • "I discovered MedBoardTutors when I realized that I had not been seeing score improvements in my individual studying despite my Step 1 test date being only 7 weeks away. My tutor was very open to taking in my input with regards to my study style and favorite resources when formulating a study plan for me, which provided some much-needed structure to my test prep schedule. During the study sessions, my tutor pointed out exactly what was high yield for each subject so that I could use my study time wisely, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and finished off the tutoring session by actively working through practice questions with me to solidify the knowledge learned earlier in the session. With MedBoardTutors, I not only learned the material for Step 1, but also felt significantly less anxious when approaching my studies, which was equally as important. I would highly recommend MedBoardTutors for anyone who is interested in improving their score—their knowledge and expertise in test preparation is unmatched!"
