Am I a good candidate for private USMLE Step 3 tutoring?

Private USMLE Step 3 tutoring is effective for students who prefer targeted instruction and a high level of customization in their prep. Private USMLE Step 3 tutoring is a great way to ensure you are focusing on rectifying specific weaknesses with certain types of questions or test taking tactics such as time management. Some candidates use private USMLE tutoring as their sole test prep method, whereas others prefer supplementing independent study or online courses with private tutoring. Schedule a call with one of our experts to figure out what will work best for you.

Can I request a specific USMLE tutor?

Yes, you can certainly let us know if you would like to work with a specific tutor. However, a lot of our tutors get booked months in advance, so it’s hard for us to guarantee that we’ll be able to pair you with someone.

How do you pair me with a tutor?

We use the diagnostic test and your input to match you with a tutor. The diagnostic test helps us understand what sections or types of questions you need most help with. We will also speak with you to make sure the diagnostic is an accurate representation of your preparedness. We will connect you based on your needs and the tutor’s expertise or preferences. Some tutors are experts at helping students get better at the CARS section whereas others have spent years honing time management techniques. Your tutor will know what you need, and how to get you there in the least amount of time.

What is covered in my USMLE Step 3 prep program, and how many hours of tutoring do I need?

Our private USMLE tutoring service can be used in a number of different ways. Some candidates use it as the sole method of preparing for their USMLE whereas others use it to supplement self study or other online courses. What gets covered depends on how you plan to use this service and what you need help with. We don’t have any cookie-cutter programs. Every study plan is customized depending on your specific needs. We can focus on specific question-types or test-taking strategies such as time management. Set up a call with us to discuss what might work best for you.

When and where does the tutoring take place?

All our tutoring sessions are online. Your and your tutor will figure out a convenient time to connect. Most students meet their tutors once a week, but sometimes they may also meet multiple times depending on where they are in the USMLE Step 3 preparation process. We like to give enough time between two sessions for you to complete your assignments, revisions, and absorb what you and your tutor discussed.

How do I get started with private USMLE Step 3 tutoring?

He’s responsible for training and certifying new teachers and tutors, developing new teaching programs, and training new Princeton Review trainers in North America—and abroad.
