Tutoring Services

Given the challenges inherent in processing the volume and complexity of medical school content, efficiency becomes a highly valued tool for creating a manageable flow and sense of balance. The Medical School tutoring services exist as one of the more powerful (and free) efficiency resources available.

The team of Medical School tutors are brought together by a shared demonstration of academic excellence in pre-clinical courses, interest in education, and supporting the efforts of peers. Members see themselves serving in a consultative capacity to assist peers in their efforts (and not as ‘experts’ providing needed services).  In this regard, effort is made to tailor services in a way that they match the needs and learning styles of all students, and across a range of curricular needs.
