Receive personally tailored
You can depend on Varsity Tutors to set you up with an expert San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutor in as short a time as 24 hours. If you want to become a licensed medical professional in the United States, you have to pass the United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE). The USMLE is made up of three separate tests that evaluate you on various levels of skill and knowledge in the medical field and are generally referred to as Steps. You can take Steps 1 and 2 in either order, but you are not eligible to take Step 3 until you have passed both Steps 1 and 2. You must pass all three of the Steps in order to receive your medical license. Taking the USMLE is no simple undertaking, and obtaining the aid of San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutoring is a wise decision.
Why should I work with a San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutor near me?
Studying in a regular class, such as you did during medical school, locks you into a fairly rigid curriculum since there's a great deal of material to cover and not much time in which to do so. Each student will grasp some things quickly and easily, but other topics will be more challenging. These won't be the same things for everyone, and private instruction makes that a non-issue. You set the pace in your private instruction. You can skim right through topics that you've already mastered, and you can take as much time as you need to on more challenging concepts or skills.
San Francisco USMLE tutors can make use of a variety of learning strategies during your sessions, homing in on those that you respond to best. For example, if you learn best with visual aids like flashcards or infographics, your instructor can provide plenty of these. If conversation and deep discussion are more helpful to you, your private teacher can use a Socratic approach to your lessons. It's easier to engage with the material you're studying when it's presented in a way that's interesting and matches your learning style.
What topics can I study with San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutors?
Each one of the USMLE's three Steps has a different focus, and there's different information you want to brush up on to prepare for each one. Step 1 focuses on basic science concepts involved in practicing medicine effectively. Doing well on this Step is essential because your score is an important part of residency matching. Step 2 covers your clinical knowledge and clinical skills. Step 3 assesses whether you're prepared to apply your medical knowledge and skills to practicing medicine unsupervised. San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutoring can help you with memorization and recall methods that allow you to access all this information when the day of your exam arrives.
What test-taking strategies can I learn from a San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutor?
There are a total of five full days' worth of testing in the USMLE. It can be a grueling experience and maintaining your peak performance for the entire time can be a challenge. Your instructor can help you develop mindfulness strategies that can help keep your mind sharp and focused. They can also point out simple things you can do like getting a good night's sleep and eating a healthy, balanced meal prior to the exam days.
Reviewing information is essential to preparing well for the test, but there is also value in understanding the test format and structure and knowing how to approach each part of the exam. You'll encounter hundreds of multiple-choice questions, for instance. Only unanswered questions are counted against your score, so answering them all is important. Your instructor can give you time management suggestions geared towards your testing strengths so you can be prepared to pace yourself well. They can help you with techniques for improving your chances of getting the right answer to questions when you're not sure what that is.
Part of time management may involve taking notes and outlining information effectively, and your instructor can help you practice these skills in addition to your clinical skills. This can be especially helpful for the Clinical Skills section of Step 2.
Your instructor can provide you with practice doing computer simulations of medical exams, which you will have to perform on Step 3. They can use practice tests during your San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutoring sessions to help you gain familiarity with that type of testing format so you feel better prepared heading into that section of the USMLE.
How can I get set up with a San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutor near me?
It's easy to begin studying for the USMLE with helpful San Francisco-Bay Area USMLE tutors. Your online study sessions take place over the Internet using our proprietary Live Learning Platform. This allows you to study from anywhere you feel comfortable as long as there is a reliable Internet connection. You can study from the comfort of your home, or you can head to a local coffee shop.

Do you have concerns about the quality of online instruction as compared to lessons you may take in person? That's not a problem because of the helpful features of the Live Learning Platform. To start, there is live video chat that makes online learning possible, along with a virtual whiteboard and a shared document editor that allow you to work together with your instructor in real time. Each session is automatically recorded by the platform, basically building up a library of reference videos that you can access any time you want.
