Tutors. Advisors. Partners.

As tutors with 10+ years of experience, it was only natural we began tutoring for all USMLE & COMLEX exams.
Working with several "Gold Standard" USMLE/COMLEX tutoring companies, we soon realized their promises and "guarantees" were just a means to an end. We chose to branch off because we care about our students. We now offer comprehensive tutoring options from pre-medical to MCAT to medical school and through residency training.
We are confident Medical School Partners will offer better value for a better price.
Our pre-medical and residency specialty advising services aim to provide up-to-date and honest guidance to all students.

What We Are Best At

Structure, Planning, and Accountability

For every hour you spend with us, you will spend 20+ hours studying on your own. Accordingly, our first priority is to to develop a study regimen with specific goals we can hold you accountable for.

Efficiency

The choice to pursue medicine is a significant commitment, however it does not have to consume your life. We will teach you how to work smart. You will certainly work hard, but with us, you will have time to play hard too (whatever that means for you)

Individualization

Having the privilege of working with 100+ individuals across various platforms, whether that be tutoring, teaching a classroom, or coaching, we have a profound understanding of different learning styles and how to adapt accordingly - there is no cookie-cutter approach here.

No Gimmicks

No pseudo-guarantees, no tricks, no games. You know what you are going to get, before you get it.

You are welcome to schedule a free, no-commitment consultation with us.

We are confident our former clients will speak on our behalf.

Strategy Development

We recognize that USMLE tutoring is not cheap, by any means. This is why our goal is not only to address content deficits, but to ingrain in you the skills necessary so that eventually you can do for yourself what we do for you.

Communication

If you're like us, when you're stumped on something, you probably prefer to figure it out then and there.
We get that. This is why we keep ourselves readily available for clients to address minor concerns. If we are close to our phones, which we always are, we got you, then and there.
We hated the rigidity and transactional nature of the companies we worked for - that's not us.
