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.

GBSessions are high yield because they… Sessions are high yield because they teach you a way of thinking about problems that dissects all the wrong answers. If you ever thought that UWorld explanations aren’t enough, then this class is for you.

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!

GBThe company and the tutor seemed not… The company and the tutor seemed not very invested in my success. Lessons were ok but I don't know if they were worth the price. The day before my test and also after the test, there was no communication from the tutor (no good luck, tips, and seeing how the exam went). It seemed like besides the two hour lessons, they didn't care at all. The only good thing about the company is that they refund you the unused hours, which I did immediately. I do not recommend this company at all
