USMLE Step 1 Tutor Question

Members don't see this ad.

Hi, I'm curious to whether anyone uses any tutor service for step 1? If yes, can you please write your experience?

 

[Reddypriya]

I recommend Dr Mohammed Taher online Skype classes and he is an outstanding mentor. I have recommended 4-5 friends of mine and they scored well enough.
I was working full time with studies and scoring less than 210 in nbme but then I joined his classes and followed instructions and study plan by him for a regular course. I was working during the day time and attending classes in the evening.
In the mid course until exam I stopped working and gave up to 14 hrs a day for studying for last 3 months.
My nbme average was 254 (I don't remember each nbme performance)
My step 1 score was 261 (I was thinking it will be lesser than my nbme performance But fortunately it was higher)
There were no step 2 CK classes available at that time after step 1 so I have to study on my own but his classes helped me for step 2 CK as well.
His Skype id is USMLE MANIA

How much did it cost you and does he do private tutor?

Please always ask for the tutor's score reports and for data (average, not anecdotal) on how student's scores improve after working with them. There are a lot of gurus peddling snake oil out there so you do need to be careful.

Hi, thank you for the reminder. I will take this into consideration when I choose a tutor program

Be careful of such fake profiles.

I myself confirmed by looking at other students performance on day 1 of free demo before joining. And I did speak to one.
It’s a good a reminder though to confirm before.

I don’t know about private tutoring but there was a group class that I joined.
For a regular course I paid $2400 in installments.

This post is extremely suspicious. There are so many scam artists floating around on Skype, please be careful.

I don’t understand all this conversation
People are not that stupid to blindly follow as you said “fake” profiles.
It’s not my problem whether anyone joins or not. It was my job to inform. I took that course of Dr Taher and I was satisfied with what I got. He is a genuine person who does his work at his best.
Just to make clear I already got my score for step 1 and CK and I don’t need to be careful for. I just gave my personal opinion and people can decide by themselves.
Thanks !

A "free demo" suggests a tutor is so unpopular that they have to give away their services for free. This is a red flag, as is this post.

A “Red Flag” is to blindly pay a huge amount of money without knowing what you will get in return. So a free demo is a MUST with cross questioning.
I don’t know how much popular he is but the real examples of students who scored well tell me more about how qualified he is.

I just check back into this post. I didn't want to stir any argument. I simply wanted to know about different services.
I appreciate everyone was on the look out for me. I would never send anyone a large sum of money before knowing what I can get and sure that I will get it or my money will comeback later
