ILMartin is a supreme tutor Martin is a supreme tutor. He is not only very knowledgeable but also emotionally intelligent; this helped me feel comfortable discussing whatever was a concern for me regarding Step 1. This combination is rare and hard to find in a tutor. I also appreciated that he works with your schedule, and allowed me to choose what I’d like to cover in each session. He is always open to feedback as well. I really can not recommend Martin enough - he is the man!

GBI worked with Elite Medical Prep for USMLE Step 1 in 2020. I worked with Elite Medical Prep for the most important medical board exam of my life. They responded quickly and professionally. I was paired with a tutor who (actually) customized a program for me. She tracked my progress and keyed in my key weaknesses that I could firm up. In those eight weeks of studying, I knew I could count on her to give me honest feedback and guidance. She let me call her at any time. I improved 65 points from my baseline and no have the opportunity to apply into the specialty of my choosing. I cannot thank Elite Medical Prep enough for giving me the best shot for my future. Worth every penny!

GBPreparing for STEP1 was a really… Preparing for STEP1 was a really stressful endeavor and I'm really glad I reached out to Elite Medical Prep. I studied on my own before I hit a mental roadblock, and they were able to connect me with Amy, who's an incredibly experienced tutor. Over a few weeks, I learned a lot of testing strategies & ways of breaking down USMLE problems I wouldn't have otherwise been able to do by going through popular study aides. I found the personnel at EMP super responsive, and really professional. Their help was critically important in building up the confidence I needed to take the STEP1 exam.

GBGreat overall! I think they offer a great product overall. The tutor I had was extremely knowledgeable and I believe she helped me a lot. My issue wasn't self-motivation, although if that is your problem a specialized tutor like this could help. My issue was more seeing the larger picture and connecting the dots between presentation-> diagnosis and whatever it was they were asking be it histo, adverse events etc. Getting quizzed and asked to explain your reasoning is ALWAYS a good way to illustrate your understanding or lack of it. Additionally its useful to have someone to hold you accountable for your study schedule (as well as help you plan it). What holds me back from giving it a full 5/5 review is just the price. Don't get me wrong on two counts: 1) they are no more expensive than most 1:1 STEP tutors you'll find and 2) med school is really expensive so paying a few thousand extra for "the most important test of your life" does seem like a drop in the bucket... but still ~$200/hr can feel like a ripoff if the experience is not adding that value back into your studying/results. For me it was worth it, but I understand for others it may be an unnecessary expense, especially when what they offer you can find elsewhere in a dedicated study buddy and all the top touted resources.
