GBSylvia is the best! Sylvia was an outstanding tutor for level1/step1! She was very understanding of my situation and gave incredible insight into reading through some of the question bank questions. She allowed me to drive each session in terms of working on specific topics, gave helpful study tips on that topic, and always encouraged me to remain confident when choosing the correct answer. Each session was personalized and even when I didn't know some of the answers, she helped me get to the correct choice through reasoning versus just telling me the answer. Her explanations were always thorough and ultimately helped me pass my exam. Would highly recommend Medlearnity and Sylvia as a tutor! Can't say enough great things!

GBI don't have enough good things to say… I don't have enough good things to say about the Medlearnity team. Their one-on-one coaching enabled me to not only pass my board exams, but to excel at them. Each tutor I worked with listened to my specific needs and concerns to curate a study plan for me based on my specific learning style and strengths. Each tutor was kind and patient and explained things concisely and effectively. Akshay himself is an excellent educator and compassionate soul. He repeatedly takes time out of his day to answer phone calls, emails, and texts from worried students; he listens and offers comforting reassurance along with guidance. My time spent with the Medlearnity team was invaluable. I recommend them to anyone I know going through this exam process!

GBGreat Step 2 Score, mentored by Keith! I used Medlearnity under the tutorship of Keith Cordner to prepare for my USMLE Step 2. I worked with the program for a total of 6 weeks of dedicated studying. I think Medlearnity's structure, scheduling, and accessibility as a student is excellent. I used the shared Google Sheets in order to organize each day of my studying and would always get Keith's feedback on how I was building my schedule and if something needed to be changed based on performance. Working with one-on-one tutoring sessions for my boards has been an extremely successful approach for Step preparation that I needed. In the past I had worked with another board prep company, but despite doing all the work using their methods, it simply would not pay off for a successful score. I constantly felt I was wasting my money with them. With Keith, we met twice per week and covered the system I was focusing on at that time plus any other topic I felt I needed to work on based my practice Questions. At first, I remember the sessions being heavily guided by Keith, but by the end of my studying, I could see how my reasoning and approach to these questions had morphed into the approach taught by Keith. Working with Keith was extra helpful because as a resident, he would complete the reasoning behind certain questions from a hospital/clinical perspective. This allowed me to understand material better in a medical context and remember it not simply for the exam but also for my preparation for residency. Ultimately, as someone who has struggled with standardized testing, Medlearnity helped me develop confidence and techniques that I will continue using throughout my career for my next boards and when in residency. In my experience, it was definitely worth the investment!

GBI failed my written surgery boards first try… I failed my written boards first try and was lost as to how to improve my odds for the second attempt. I googled “general surgery boards tutor” and MedLearnity came up. I gave it a shot with the sample session, and was immediately blown away with how knowledgeable and patient and helpful Anthony was. He has real world surgical experience, and more importantly he understands how board examiners are likely to ask questions. He makes sure you understand why you answer things right or wrong, and if you get something right he will ask you other ways that question could be asked. Having a schedule was also really helpful, and he provides a week by week schedule that you can take or leave. In addition he has these incredible study guides that compile lots and lots of factoids into digestible tables & lists. I easily got 5-10 questions just off one of his study guides. Overall, I trusted Anthony and he really made all the difference in terms of my passing this second time. He is patient, knowledgeable, personable, and really invested in your success. I will absolutely be signing up to work with him for oral boards.

GBReview Anthony was a great resource for my prep. We got through a ton of questions each session that were high yield and he did a great job of maintaining repetition of weak areas in subsequent sessions. He was also good in testing me on the spot with various facts that could be related to the question at hand and the different ways a concept could be tested. The only qualm I had was the delayed notice/process of finding a substitute with the company when he was unavailable. Highly recommend him as a tutor - was one of the best I've worked with.
