Med School Tutors provides a truly unique service. Charming yet understated, articulate yet modest, their tutors come prepared. Not only do they know their material (and know it perfectly), they cater a flexible curriculum to a very elite clientele. I worked with Med School Tutor’s instructors for many of my Riverdale classes including Honors Math, AP Calculus, AP Biology, and Physics and received A’s in all of these classes.  They also helped me work my way to an outstanding SAT score that helped me gain acceptance to Yale University, where I currently attend college. I strongly encourage all students--from those in elementary school to those pursuing graduate degrees--to give them a call. You won't regret it.

Med School Tutors is truly an asset. My tutor Matt really helped me focus on and improve my weakest areas in order to successfully pass the USMLE Step 1. Not only was my tutor superb, but the support from John and Rob was amazing. They were very involved in my progress, and they made sure I was getting what I needed from my sessions. I am deeply grateful for all of their efforts, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to achieve their dreams of becoming a physician.
- Jessica L., St. Matthew’s University School of Medicine

Med school tutors saved me. I called them for help on passing Step 1. I felt very overwhelmed and didn't even know where to begin and how to approach studying for the biggest exam of my life. After speaking to me and learning a little bit about me they were able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to improve my scores. They not only helped me understand the material, but they helped me develop the right attitude toward studying and taking the exam. They were always there for me for anything I needed; from explaining something to me that I didn't understand, to simple advice and reassurance that I was capable of achieving my goals. I honestly do not know if I would have been able to do it without them and I thank them dearly from the bottom of my heart.

How do our students describe Med School Tutors? “Steven was incredible. He is bright, fresh on the material as he recently took the exam and has kept up to date on what the MCAT tests and how it has evolved. Most importantly, he dedicated his time and effort because he really cared that I did better. I always had the support of him and [Rob and John] at Med School Tutors if I ever had a question or problem, a personal touch that goes a long way. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with the way things turned out and I couldn’t have done it without Med School Tutors.
- Seth, University of Rochester

John has been helping me with my math and science classes at Riverdale for the past three years. He has not only helped me improve my grades significantly, but has also made the material we learn come to life. I actually understand and enjoy the work we do. Together, we focus on understanding problem solving approaches and practice questions which allow me to be prepared for my tests. His teaching methods have encouraged me to create better study habits, and he is always able to thoroughly answer any questions that I have without fail. Perhaps most importantly, John shows true concern for both me and my school work. Indeed, he has become my friend as much as my tutor.
- Anonymous, current Riverdale Country School student

Simply put: Med School Tutors saved my medical career. I could not pass Step 3 before I began working with them. But after only one month of following their system, listening to my tutor, and receiving their incredible support, I passed with a 207! Thank you for helping me realize my potential—and my dream.
- Sarah S., fully licensed and practicing physician

We are very happy with the support and concerns given by the Med School Tutors. The tutors went out of their ways to help Peter with SAT and stay focused during the months of preparation. We went to the Med School Tutors with high expectations as I had heard good things about it. We indeed walked away with satisfactory results and a great appreciation for the tutors who put in not only time but 100% devotion to strive for excellence. We would certainly recommend Med School Tutors to all parents who want their children to achieve good SAT scores. Thank you again for your excellent services. The tutor’s professionalism and friendship will stay with Peter long after he goes to college.
- Joanne, mother of Xavier High School student

Maureen was an excellent instructor and not only taught content but was able to include strategies in case I did not know the content. I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions with Med School Tutors’ help!
- Julie Lamonoff, University of Michigan Alumna

Of the many tutors I have used for my children over the years, Med School Tutors unquestionably stands out as the best!  My Med School Tutors instructor did it all: He was conscientious, understanding, and sensitive to his students’ needs.  The people at Med School Tutors sympathized with my child’s needs and tailored their approach to help him meet our highest expectations.
- Mary, Parent of Pleasantville High School Student

Before I sought help from Med School Tutors, I had an eleven hundred on my SAT's. I was in dire need of help and didn't know where to turn since I had already tried using other programs. A friend of mine recommended Med School Tutors and it was the best advice any one had given me.  My score increased dramatically from an 1100 to a 1320!  And not only were my scores rising, but I was actually enjoying learning!  My tutor and I formed a friendship that helped me advance as both an intellectual as well as a person.  He helped me balance my time so that I wasn't as stressed out by the time the SAT day rolled around. I am truly grateful for their help and urge others to call Med School tutors because you won't regret it!
- Stacey, Former Manhasset High School student

Before I began using Med School Tutors, I had difficulty motivating myself to study for the MCAT. I was working full-time at a hospital and worried whether I had the time for adequate preparation. John carefully considered my scheduling needs and matched me with Aneesh, who was approachable, honest, and qualified to help me practice complex science problems. Once I decided to apply to medical school, John and Rob worked extensively with me to be sure that my application was cohesive, succinct, and indicative of my strong interest and background in medicine. I have been more than grateful for the assistance I received from Med School Tutors and would recommend their services to anyone who aspires to become a physician.
- Jen D.C., New York University graduate

My Med School Tutors instructors were not just superb tutors; they were genuinely concerned and understanding people.  I am deeply grateful for Med School Tutors’ help.
- A.J., Pleasantville High School student

My first physics test I got a 73.  After John from Med School Tutors began helping me, I received a 91 on my next test, and only continued to improve after that.  My mom was thrilled and called John to tell him, he was happy, but amazingly he immediately wanted to know what I got wrong and how we could avoid the same mistakes next time.  He has genuine concern for his students.
- Deanna, student at The Ursuline School

I've had so many tutors during my life that I can't even count them. But I never found a tutoring service that offered such awesome math and science tutoring until I found Med School Tutors. With their help, I aced my senior year high school classes and AP tests at Brooklyn Tech and won high honors at the Intel Science Competition. When it comes to science and math, Med School Tutors just can't be beat!
- Dan, Columbia University sophomore

When I first set out to apply for school, I felt like I was in a complicated maze. Thank God I found Med School Tutors. Not only did they help me navigate that maze and keep me organized and on track, but with their help I was accepted to my first choice: Columbia University!
- former Brooklyn Technical High School student

It was really great working with you guys and I really appreciated all of your help at any hour of the day.
- Preeti, mother of Wellesley Senior High School student

Maureen has great energy! She was clearly passionate about her subject matter and was determined to find ways to help make me stronger in the areas I was weak in. I was failing my nursing class and needed a boost not just in how to approach the subject matter but also how to build my test-taking skills.  Not only did I pass my third test, I jumped from a C- to a B+.  I passed the class and went on to graduate from the program. I will always remember Med School Tutors as my secret weapon.
- Lora D., nursing student at New York City College of Technology

Stephen is by far the best instructor my son has ever had.  He is confident, resourceful, and seems to have an answer to almost any question. My son absolutely respects and trusts him. We feel very lucky to have Med School Tutors.
- mother of High School for Math, Science, and Engineering at City College student

I just sent my deposit in for Cornell and I still am in awe that I was accepted.  It was a long road but I can not wait to start in the fall. Thank you for your amazing help with my tests and applications.
- Mac, entering Cornell University student

As a parent, I saw Shelley's confidence level increase after each session with her tutor. Shelley was focused on exactly what her tutor outlined (not just trying to figure it out on her own). I think Med School Tutors should market [even more] with colleges!
