Before You Book

Commonly Raised Questions.

What results should I expect from tutoring?

We build a plan around your starting point, available time, and practice results. Progress varies. Tutoring provides feedback and accountability; it cannot guarantee a score or a pass.

Can you help after a failed Step 1 or Step 2 CK attempt?

Yes. We review your score report, study history, and current practice questions to identify what needs to change. We do not reconstruct confidential questions from the real exam. Your school advisor remains part of decisions about eligibility and timing.

How do I decide whether private tutoring is worth it?

Start with the problem you need help solving: an unclear schedule, recurring reasoning errors, or difficulty turning assessment feedback into action. A free consult helps you decide whether focused feedback would add value to your existing resources.

How does tutoring compare with a prep course?

Courses vary: some offer structured lessons, adaptive schedules, or live support. Our one-on-one sessions focus on your practice work and update your plan as your needs change. You may use tutoring alongside a course when the roles are clear.

Do you work with IMGs?

Yes. We tailor Step 1 and Step 2 CK preparation to your curriculum, familiarity with the exam format, and current performance. Official eligibility and certification decisions should be checked with the responsible exam and certification organizations.

How do sessions work?

Sessions are 60 minutes via Zoom. Scheduling depends on your plan; the Comprehensive Protocol includes two sessions per week across a 10-week build. You receive session notes, weekly plan adjustments, and access to send questions between sessions.

Can I keep using Anki and UWorld?

Yes. We can work with the resources you already use. Reviewing a missed practice question together can help distinguish a knowledge gap from a reading, reasoning, or pacing problem, then choose a specific follow-up task.

What is the Good Fit Guarantee?

If your first paid lesson is not a good fit, you do not pay. The initial diagnostic consult is free.

“When we review a practice question, I want to understand how you reached your answer. Then we can choose a useful next step: review the concept, practice the distinction you missed, or change how you manage the block.”
