Martin 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!

Amy is fantastic! Amy is fantastic! She is patient and explains things in a very clear, concise manner. I especially like that she makes concrete plans according to my progress, with specific goals and quizzes me often. Ended up scoring well on Step 2 CK!

I had a great experience with my tutor I had a great experience with my tutor Dr Lauren Becker. Thanks to all the help I was able to pass my COMLEX Level 1, and do something that seemed impossible. \

Great 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.

I had a great experience with EMP I had a great experience with EMP. I started out working with Jim who was able to really help me hammer down the physiology and pathology commonly tested. We worked through cases questions and UWorld questions to cement the different ways these concepts can be tested. I worked with Madeleine as my test date approached and she was great at simplifying and explaining topics that were giving me trouble mastering. We really worked on how to read and understand exactly what the questions were asking, as there can be complex question stems that are easy to get lost in. Both helped me gain understanding and confidence approaching the exam and I was fortunate to work with them.
