GBMy tutor My tutor, Anup, was great for me. He did an excellent job of really focusing on my weaknesses and also my preferred ways of learning. I really felt like he took the time to look at my previous results and geared my studies toward the information gained from those. He was very encouraging which was great for me but also was honest when he needed to be. He was also willing to try different things in our sessions together. We did cases, UWorld, quick review of important points in FA, etc. I worked with Anup for Step 1, 3rd year rotation exams, and Step 2 CK and CS. I wish I would have started working with EMP during my first two years of medical school. I would highly recommend the company.

GBHelped gain confidence I think EMP helped me gain confidence and focus on how to study efficiently, which was crucial to my step success. I took off 1 star because I felt my tutor talked a lot (not necessarily about content), and I think it would've been more beneficial if he had listened more, or even talked in a more concise/abbreviated way about non-content material as I don't think this time was as conducive to my learning

GBThanks EMP and Rhodes!! Thank you so much EMP and Rhodes Hambrick for the superb tutoring which helped pass my USMLE Step 3. Step 3 has been my most successful and gratifying exam of all USMLEs. I prepared for this exam in less time and scored better in relative terms compared to the rest. Rhodes helped me to be efficient with my preparation considering my time constraints. He showed me the value of flashcards to consolidate memory and coached me on how to approach questions strategically. With his wealth of medical knowledge, he explained my areas of weakness. From day one, Rhodes was very organized and systematic. He provided a personalized study schedule so that I covered all the material needed for the exam. Rhodes is a friendly guy and its easy to talk to him. He gives you honest feedback when needed. Thanks Rhodes for helping me to expand my medical knowledge and become a better physician!

GBI 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.

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
