What our students are saying…

  • “Rachel is undeniably the best tutor I have ever had, working with her has truly changed my life! I had failed Step 1 and was at my lowest point, feeling completely hopeless. But from the moment I started working with her, everything changed. Her unwavering encouragement and personalized teaching style turned everything around, and she taught me in a way that finally clicked. Her methods were clear and tailored to how I learn best. I would always ask her for mnemonics or ways to remember things, and from then on, every day she had a creative mnemonic ready. She is so patient, and if I didn't understand something, she would explain it in several different ways until it finally made sense. She didn’t just teach me the material; she restored my confidence and belief in myself. Thanks to her, I not only passed Step 1, but I now approach my exams with confidence because she taught me how to think like the test maker. She is passionate, dedicated, and truly invested in her students’ success. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to help you succeed, Rachel is your answer. She is absolutely phenomenal and I owe her everything!”

  • "Working with Rachel to prepare for my STEP 1 exam was absolutely game-changing. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and motivational, and was able to tailor tutoring sessions to my specific learning style and needs. My scores had all plateaued, and once I started attending tutoring sessions both my scores and my knowledge base grew exponentially. I cannot recommend her enough!"
