Anyone interested in tutoring a hopeless medical school student for the USMLE STEP 1?

[futureherooftime622]

Hi there,

I'll give a brief background history. So Medical school has been a difficult road for me. I'd probably be at the bottom 10% of my class. I will (hopefully) be graduating in 2018. I didn't take my STEP 1 last summer because I wasn't doing well on my practice tests. I haven't taken one in a while. I have been doing practice UWORLD Questions since last summer (so over the course of the school year) and I have improved a great deal. It doesn't matter to me that I won't be getting residency right after I graduate. I'm working at my own pace so I can get the score I want.

I'm really interested in paediatrics and psychiatry. I'm hoping to get within the 240s, that way the doors will open for me and I can apply for any residency program I live within the state of Maryland, so, either University of Maryland or Johns Hopkins would be ideal (or any of the medstar hospitals in the area). Anyway, I haven't reached that point yet.

Would someone be able to tutor me or recommend a tutor? It would be a big help. There are just certain concepts I don't seem to understand.

Would appreciate it if someone could get back to me.

Sincerely,

-A struggling medical student.

You might find better luck if you just said what topics you need help in and what you don't understand about them. Most people are better at and more able/willing to teach certain topics than others.

Hello!

I'm a 4th year medical student in Virginia, USA and am offering tutoring services primarily for third year/clinical rotations and shelf exams. Sessions will be held remotely via Skype. I charge $30/hr. All funds must be transferred 24hrs prior to session time to ensure reservation. I have over 5 years of teaching/tutoring experience to undergraduate students.

I am proud to admit I was a student that initially struggled with the volume and lingo of medicine, and over the years excelled by developing my own pneumonics, slides, and tricks. I am eager to share my resources with other students and provide high yield teaching! My personal notes have been shared within my medical school community and are well received. Please contact me with your specific needs and we can come up with a plan together best suited for your goals.

Looking forward to working with you!

What? Not a single good Samaritan willing to help out poor struggling student without asking money for it? I guess if one has no money - then he will get no help. The real side of sdn. smh
