Jonathan D.

Jonathan Dworak has been tutoring for The Princeton Review for 17 years. He finds that being able to work one-on-one with students is the best situation to which an educator can aspire—and further, that having a personal connection to so many interesting and engaged students makes the process of working together to master a subject a fulfilling one. Jonathan tutors students of all ages, and his expertise allows him to serve as a “master trainer” of tutors aspiring to teach.

Kenneth B.

As a tutor with The Princeton Review, Kenneth Brenner most enjoys figuring out what makes each student tick—and then creating a study environment that’s instantly conducive to learning. A passionate educator, Kenneth has taught across the age spectrum, from sixth-graders to grad-level students. His students have been accepted to Ivy League colleges and other prestigious universities and programs.

Dr. Robert F.

A tutor for over 15 years, Dr. Robert Fong’s greatest educational fulfillment lies in emphasizing conceptual learning over rote memorization: He has perfected this approach to bring speedy and efficient improvement to all his students. Robert is a master tutor in all MCAT sciences and has contributed to work on The Princeton Review’s research and development team. With an undergraduate degree from New York University, Robert completed his PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology at The University of Chicago, where he serves on the faculty in the department of anesthesia and critical care. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Aaron L.

Toronto-based tutor Aaron Lindh finds inspiration the moment a student “gets it”—when all the hard work pays off and a concept that was formerly impossible becomes easy. He approaches each tutorial by identifying the strengths, abilities, and learning style of each student, and works to develop confidence accordingly. He’s responsible for training and certifying new teachers and tutors, developing new teaching programs, and training new Princeton Review trainers in North America—and abroad.

FAQ's

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for USMLE Step 1 tutoring?

Our personalized USMLE Step 1 tutoring service is an excellent option for students who prefer private, targeted prep. One-on-one USMLE Step 1 tutoring helps you focus on rectifying weaknesses, whether you struggle with particular question types or test-taking skills like time management.

Some candidates may prefer using just private USMLE tutoring, whereas others may review with a mix of methods, such as online courses or independent study. Schedule a call with us to determine what works best for you.

Can I request a particular tutor?

Yes, you can definitely inform us if you’d love to work with a specific tutor. However, since most of our tutors can be booked months in advance, it’s difficult for us to guarantee that we’ll pair you with them.

image of arrow down

How do you select a tutor for me?

We use your diagnostic results to pinpoint where you need the most help and select a tutor whose expertise matches your needs. Some tutors are experts in test-taking strategies, whereas others may be particularly adept at navigating USMLE question types. Your experienced tutor will understand your needs and how to help you reach your goals.

What’s covered in my USMLE Step 1 program? How many tutoring hours do I need?

What gets covered in our USMLE Step 1 tutoring service depends on what you need the most help with and how you plan to use it (if it’s your sole prep method or if you plan to supplement your learning with other methods).

Our programs are personalized to cater to your needs. Whether you need help with time management, test-taking skills, or content, our experts are here to help. Set up a call with us to talk about what might work best for you.

image of arrow down

When and where does the tutoring take place?

Our private tutoring sessions are online. You and your tutor will determine the best times for you to meet. Most students meet their tutors once weekly, but the frequency of your meetings may pick up depending on where you are in the review process. We like to give you enough time between tutoring sessions to absorb what you learned and complete any assignments.
