Our tutors are the top educators in their respective fields. Becoming a tutor at Medlearnity requires a passion for education, a deep interest in helping other physicians-in-training, and an exceptional track record of exam performance. Every tutor brings their unique talents to Medlearnity, but as an organization, we also have established best practices to maintain a very high-quality educational experience.

Medlearnity offers flexible payment options: credit or debit card (processed by Stripe) and payment plans over time through Affirm on eligible packages — you'll see Affirm's plans at checkout. PayPal support is on the way. Affirm rates run 0–36% APR. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. See affirm.com/how-it-works. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required.

For a student taking an exam in 3–4 weeks, 10 or 20 hours of tutoring provides a substantial amount of practice and feedback. For students with a longer study duration, we recommend 30 or more hours. An important metric is how much time a student invests in self-study between tutoring sessions. If a student is studying full-time (8+ hours a day), meeting 2–3 times per week is a worthwhile investment given the amount of content covered. We like to think of tutoring + self-studying as synergistic forces that complement each other.

Improvements for our students are substantial. Students who complete more than 20 hours of tutoring often improve their scores by 20–30 percentile points. We've even had students who previously failed a high-stakes exam like USMLE Step 1 work with us for Step 2 CK and score in the high 90th percentile with scores above 260. One of the essential factors in tutoring results is a student's diligence with self-study and our organization methods.

Yes — if a student would like to try a different tutor at Medlearnity, we are more than happy to facilitate this. Sometimes we even suggest a student try a session with a particular tutor given specialized expertise — for example, a student interested in pediatrics working with a tutor who is an advanced resident in pediatrics. Tutors are always in sync through session recordings and session notes.

Medlearnity has a 24-hour cancellation policy for all scheduled sessions. If there is an emergency preventing a student from attending a session, they must email their tutor as soon as possible. Students receive email notifications for all sessions, so session timings are always crystal clear.

For Medlearnity packages, if a student decides they no longer need all the hours in their current tutoring package, the package can be prorated to the number of hours completed. For example, if a student purchases a 20-hour package and completes 14 hours of tutoring, they have the option to switch to the 10-hour-package hourly rate.

Yes! Once you have a package you can continue to add additional hours at your current package's hourly rate. For example, if you purchase a 10-hour package, you can add an additional 5–10 hours at the 10-hour-package hourly rate. (We share a coupon for you to access your package's hourly rate.)

Yes. Medlearnity offers to add 20% additional hours to any package if your score doesn't improve on an official exam compared to a prior official practice exam. For example, if a student completes a 40-hour package and does not improve from their official practice exam, we will add 8 additional hours for free. (Please email your tutor your official practice exam at the start of tutoring — we ask for this when you schedule your trial.) We strongly recommend students prepare rigorously before any scheduled exam to prevent the chances of failure. Retaking an exam after a failed attempt is always much more challenging, so our team works towards preventing this situation at all costs.

No! At Medlearnity, your hours can be used for future exams and/or admissions services. We believe in providing maximal flexibility for our students, so there is no pressure to use your hours by a certain timeframe. Lastly, if you have remaining hours and don't anticipate being able to use them, we can refund them prorated to the number of hours completed. See "What is your refund policy?".

Medlearnity keeps its prices up-to-date and transparent. If there are any discounts available, we will email our students and reflect any price changes in our store.
