Step 1 crash course honest Review: (US MD student)
Some of the tutors have very heavy accent and it takes away the concentration to understand the concept because you're focused on understanding what they're saying. On top, some of the tutors speak too fast. I am sorry but Dr Mahdi & Biochem guy taught multiple days and subjects and were worst to listen to because of their accent and on top they were fast. It was hard to listen. Even, on video replay I struggle listening to them even if I decrease the speed b/c of accent and not very good explainers.
There were tutors who were exceptionally good in engaging student and even if they had accent they were understandable because they were speaking clearly / pacing evenly and explaining everything. The tutors who did an amazing job were: Neuro, Cardio, Pharm, Msk & Bacteriology, Immunology, Reproductive. Shout out to these guys.
The tutors who were ok (not bad, not wow) were Endo/derm guy, Respiration.
The best tutors who deserve shout out & applause:
Reproductive & Msk/Bacteriology, Neuro & Cardio
Dr Turko was the easiest to listen & most engaging !!

I had a very positive experience working with The Match Guy for Step 3 tutoring. The biggest benefit has been the structure and accountability. Before tutoring, I was overwhelmed by the amount of material and unsure how to approach my studying efficiently while in residency. They provided a clear plan and a consistent pace to help me stay on track and make steady progress.
What helped me most was learning how to approach practice questions more systematically. The tutoring sessions focused not only on content review but also on clinical reasoning and test-taking strategy. This has helped me see improvement in my practice question scores.
Dr. Kutay is a great tutor who was very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. He provided well organized sessions and clear explanations tailored to my specific weaknesses. He provided guidance with knowledge gaps and appropriate feedback.
I'd definitely recommend The Match Guy tutoring to other students/residents taking USMLE, especially those who are similarly struggling with structure, filling in knowledge gaps, or confidence.

I had a great experience with The Match Guy’s Step 3 Bootcamp. The course was very well organized, the material was clear and helpful, and it gave me a much better structure for my preparation. The team was also very attentive and provided excellent follow-up throughout the course, always checking on my progress and helping whenever I had questions. I would definitely recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking for guidance and support while preparing for Step 3.
This has been an exceptional course. The tutors were very knowledgable and understand the challenges related to exam. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole week and highly recommend it to all candidates. Thanks once more for being an incredible and supportive team.

I took tutoring sessions with TMG and feel like it helped me. My score was not improving before but now it’s steadily improving because I understand where my mistakes occurred.
I did tutoring with Dr. Kutay, who is a tutor for TMG. He scored 270+ on step 2 ck. Amazing explanation skills and helped me focus on what matters most on the exams. Explains the concepts clearly and makes sure you understand. He didn’t judge me even if I didn’t get a certain topic right away or got it wrong multiple times.

I worked with Aishwarya and she was awesome!! Her knowledge foundation was so strong and she was a great teacher as well. Her sessions were very helpful and I'd highly recommend working with her. She created a study plan for me and made sure I was meeting goals. She also spent time outside our sessions creating pdfs for me and finding more practice questions for me in my weak areas and was able to exceed my goal score by my last NBME practice test!

A great review for Step 2 and Step 3 with knowledgeable, extremely patient tutors! The course is very flexible and condensed to what is most important for the exam. Teaches you how to solve common pitfall questions that USMLE likes to test students. The tutors are professional and passionate about their work. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to strengthen their base or are looking to score higher.

Dr. Kutay was very helpful with the material. He made study plans based on the individual needs and focused on high yield points and associated relations.

They kept their promise and delivered HY topics in 7 days while making sure everyone followed. I enjoyed all the sessions.

I am sure grateful to the Match Guy tutors. All the tutors are very knowledgeable and they take the time to make sure that they fill in all the knowledge gaps. I have a 17 point increase after taking the course so I am extremely grateful and I would highly recommend the crash course!

With no doubt and hesitation, I can fully recommend this course for anyone preparing for step 1 exam. All tutors are great and very supportive. You can take full advantage of live sessions and recorded videos. Most importantly , they can squeeze that huge content of Step 1 course in a 7-day-intense training session. On top of that, they have "money back guarantee" if someone unfortunately fails the exam.

The course was very beneficial. I got to recap lots of topics and found some new ways to recall the information. They focused on the key high yield topics making it easier to know what to study

I attended the 7-Day STEP 1 Bootcamp and found it very helpful. The tutors simplified difficult concepts, focused on high-yield topics, and highlighted the most important areas for STEP 1 preparation.
The bootcamp improved my understanding, strengthened my question-solving approach, and boosted my confidence for the exam. I would recommend it to students looking for a focused STEP 1 review.

This Step 1 crash course was one of the most helpful resources I used during my preparation. It provided a comprehensive yet highly focused review of the most important exam topics, helping me organize my knowledge and approach the material with greater confidence. The instructors did an outstanding job simplifying difficult concepts and highlighting key points that are easy to overlook during self-study.
The course was engaging, interactive, and packed with high-yield information. The explanations were clear, well-structured, and tailored to the way Step 1 concepts are tested. Overall, this course was an invaluable part of my Step 1 preparation, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of key topics and make their study time more efficient.

This was such a great experience! Most of the tutors were so lively which made it all the more a special experience for me as someone with ADHD. I can 100% recommend this product.!
I wish I had done it at the beginning of my preparations but it's been just as valuable now, I have seen a huge gap fill in knowledge and test taking abilities which have reflected an increase in my test scores.
I hope you come back here and write a review about passing my 2CK!
Thank you everyone at TheMatchGuy! Worth every penny.
