North Carolina is home to med students at schools including Duke University School of Medicine, UNC School of Medicine and Wake Forest School of Medicine — and because our coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, students at every program in North Carolina (and North Carolina residents studying out of state) get matched with the right Step 1 coach for their timeline and NBME gap.
Since Step 1 went pass/fail, the goal is simple: a safe NBME predicted-pass margin before you sit. The fastest way there isn't more content review — it's a plan that targets your actual weak systems, validated by practice-exam data every week.

Frequently asked questions
What actually happens on the strategy call?
It's a focused 15-minute Zoom call with a Step 1 coach. We review your latest NBME / UWorld scores, your timeline, and what's actually not working in your prep, then put a real plan in front of you. By the end you'll know where you stand, what to fix first, and whether 1-on-1 coaching is the right move.
How much does Step 1 tutoring cost?
Our Step 1 coaching programs typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on how much tutoring you need and how close you are to test day. Pricing is built around your timeline and your NBME gap, not a flat package. The strategy call itself is 100% free with no pressure to enroll.
I'm failing my NBMEs — can you still help?
Yes — that's exactly who we work with. Most of our students come to us failing NBMEs, with a test date closing in, and no clear plan. Our Harvard-trained team of 265+ Step 2 scorers has helped students go from sub-50% predicted pass to confidently passing, with 1-on-1 coaching, a personalized study calendar, and 24/7 mentor support.
Do you work with med students in North Carolina?
Yes. Coaching is 1-on-1 over Zoom, so med students anywhere in North Carolina — at any program, in any year — get matched with the best Step 1 coach for their situation, not just whoever is nearby. Sessions fit around your rotation and dedicated-period schedule.
Stop guessing whether you're on track. The free strategy call takes 15 minutes and you leave with a plan either way.
