How do I know if I need a NBME tutor?

You might benefit from having a NBME tutor if you’re having difficulty with various concepts or formulas, get constantly frustrated with NBME homework, or when your grades start falling behind. On top of that, having 1-on-1 tutoring sessions with a NBME tutor can help you to regain confidence and get back on track.

How to choose an online NBME tutor?

As you look over the list of online NBME tutors, pay close attention to the qualifications indicated on their profiles. From their profile descriptions to their education and work experiences to reviews from other students or parents, having considered these factors will help you choose an online NBME tutor that best suits your needs.

What questions should I ask a NBME tutor during the first meeting?

Common goals of hiring a NBME tutor are: to improve grades, simplify abstract concepts or complex notions and prepare for exams. Therefore, it’s important to ask your tutor questions, such as the process they use to help students they’ve worked with in the past; if they are familiar with your school’s curriculum; and how long they are willing to commit to helping you with your NBME class. You may get back on track after a couple of tutoring sessions or may need long-term help that could require a tutor staying with you the entire school year - this could also be discussed with them during the first meeting.

How much does a NBME tutor cost?

The price of a private in-person or online NBME tutor is set by each individual tutor. NBME tutor prices differ due to several different variables, including experience, university levels (ex. Ph.D. candidate vs graduate student vs bachelor’s degree vs undergraduate degree), demand, and teaching experience. No matter your budget, finding an experienced NBME tutor to help you with any NBME problem is easy with TutorOcean.

How does online NBME tutoring work?

When you sign up for online tutoring with TutorOcean, all your classroom sessions will take place in our exclusive Online Collaborative Learning Platform with live video conferencing and white-board technologies. The TutorOcean platform is a secure private learning environment that is accessible anywhere in the world where a reliable internet connection is available providing the ultimate tutoring experience. It also includes powerful features like a virtual whiteboard and video chat capabilities to facilitate a face-to-face study experience without the headache of a commute. Perhaps most importantly, our Live Learning Platform records every study session so that you can build up a comprehensive review library over time.

Are NBME tutors worth it?

Studies suggest that as many as eight out of 10 students can potentially benefit from private instruction, including children who are high-achievers. Not only can private 1-on-1 tutoring online or in-person help foster a deeper understanding of key concepts, but students can also be taught broader study skills that will be very useful in later school levels even into high school and college/university classes. The only way to truly discover the benefit of a private NBME tutor is to try a tutoring service for yourself. Take your time to meet several tutors to ensure you find the right fit, especially with regard to matching teaching and learning styles.

How can a tutor help me master NBME?

An NBME tutor can help you to recall more than just concepts of NBME, but to put that knowledge to use. A private tutor can help you to connect what you’re learning in school (at any grade level) with what you see and experience in your daily life. A private NBME tutor can help you review your academic concerns and create a study plan that highlights your strengths and builds on your weaknesses to help improve your grades. Book your first tutoring session today and discover how an experienced tutor can help you truly master all the key NBME concepts.

Expert Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, CASPER & MCAT Lecturer + Tutor - 10 years experience - Medical Resident

I am a medical resident with over 10 years of experience tutoring university courses and the MCAT. I scored in the 97th percentile for the Chem/Phys and 99th percentile for the Bio/Biochem sections of the MCAT (2017). I have also taught university exam prep and MCAT science lessons to in-person classes of over 150 students, as well as recorded over 1000 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring. Additionally, my work experience as a TA has taught me the ins and outs of how university exams are written, along with what students can expect from them. In chemistry and biology courses I can consistently predict the types of questions (and occasionally exact questions) that come up on exams. On top of my lecturing experience, I have also helped students to prepare for the MCAT exam. If you're writing the MCAT, I can work with you to design a study schedule, recommend high yield resources, as well as teach you an approach on how to tackle important MCAT questions/passages. In general, when tutoring I like to break down complex concepts into smaller steps using silly and efficient tricks. I've additionally completed a Master's in Neurosciences/Neuroanatomy and finished medical school in Canada. I have expertise tutoring the following tests/subjects: MCAT (Chem/Phys, CARS, Bio, Psych/Soc) Organic Chemistry (>3000 hours between tutoring + TA + class instruction) General Chemistry Biology (TA experience) Physics I also have expertise in Medicine, Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Neuroscience and offer sessions in Medicine/NBME/Nursing/Physiotherapy/MSK Anatomy/Neuroanatomy/Pharmacy/CASPER exam. Scored in the top quartile on the CASPER examination (2022) Below are sample tutoring resources that I created to complement my lessons. Also, I have attached some of my student's MCAT scores before versus after our tutoring sessions! Reach out if you're interested in setting up a session! :)

USMLE Success Starts Here – Step 2 CK 270 Tutor Offering Premium 1-on-1 Coaching at a very affordable rate.

My teaching style is focused on understanding first, memorisation later. I explain concepts in a clear, logical way using simple language, diagrams, and real-life or clinical analogies so even difficult topics start to make sense. I keep things high-yield and exam-oriented, but I also make sure students truly understand what they’re learning, not just remember facts. Each class is 1-on-1 and fully personalised. We usually start by identifying your weak areas through discussion or quick questions. Then I build the session around those topics, breaking them down step by step. We go through key concepts, integrate USMLE-style questions, and finish by reviewing mistakes and important take-home points. What makes my teaching different is that I adapt to how you think and learn. Some students need more visuals, some need more repetition, and some need help connecting concepts. I adjust accordingly. I’m very detail-oriented and enjoy digging into high-yield mechanisms and patterns that help you remember things long-term. These classes are ideal for medical students and graduates preparing for USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK who want structured guidance, clarity, and confidence as they prepare for their exams.
