I genuinely cannot say enough good things about MatchPal and the incredible experience I’ve had working with Tracie throughout my residency application process! Tracie has been an absolutely PHENOMENAL advisor, and I truly believe that working with her has made a tremendous difference in my chances of matching. From the very beginning, she helped me identify and address weaknesses in my application, strengthen how I presented myself, and highlight my experiences and strengths in ways I never would have thought to do on my own. Having gone through the medical school application process years ago, I remember how discouraging it felt to put so much effort into applications and receive so few responses. This time around, the experience has been completely different. We are only at the beginning of interview season, and I have already received 11 residency interview invitations! I genuinely attribute a significant part of that success to Tracie's guidance, expertise, and dedication to helping me put my best foot forward. For the first time, I genuinely feel like I have a real shot at matching into my number one residency program, and I don't think I would be in this position without her help. To Joseph, thank you for creating such an incredible service, and to Tracie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me. I am beyond grateful! I already can't wait for the day I get to send Tracie the message telling her that I MATCHED and celebrate that moment with her, even if it's virtually! 🎉 If you're a medical student preparing for the residency Match, I cannot recommend MatchPal and Tracie for pediatrics advising highly enough. Investing in their guidance has been one of the best decisions I've made throughout this entire process!Posted on Google![]()

One of the biggest things my med school was lacking was mentorship from actual physicians. We had a writing advisor and someone that gave general guidance but neither were physicians and most of the feedback I got was pretty generic and not specific to my specialty or application. So grateful to all of the residents that make this platform happen and actually spend the time to not only dig into our apps and provide specialty specific guidance for residency applications and also be able to offer it to students from such a wide range of specialties and backgrounds. Wish my school had a system like this in placePosted on Google![]()

This platform was an incredible discovery for me as an ms3. As someone without a home program in General Surgery, working with Dr Kiernan was a godsend. From helping me plan and secure my top choice away rotations, to revising my personal statement & application, and helping me prep for literally every single type of interview question I got all the way through matching my #1 program in California, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her constant guidance, insight, and support. Unfortunately there are just things medical schools don’t cover when it comes to strategy or subspecialty guidance if you lack a home program and my advisor helped me navigate every single one of those points between MS3 and Matching. Any student who is struggling with finding high quality mentorship or support ahead of the residency application process should strongly consider working with a matchpal advisor.Posted on Google![]()

Needed some guidance on how to approach ERAS and my retake exam after a Level1 failure. Worked with Dr Turner on revising and strategizing around my OB residency app and Dr Thomas for COMLEX prep and both were fantastic. Passed my retake, honored all of my MS3 rotations, and matched my preferred specialty thanks to these two amazing docs and the rest of the MatchPal team that helped make it happen!Posted on Google![]()

Huge shoutout to Dr Gofman for working with me on my Derm residency app & interview prep!Posted on Google![]()

There are a lot of tutoring companies out there, but almost none focus specifically on the COMLEX exam from people who took the test and scored well on it themselves That’s what stood out to me about Matchpal and why I used them for COMLEX level one and level two prep. Ellena was so knowledgeable, supportive, and consistent with me throughout the entire time. She’s a god send for anyone looking for tutoring for these exams.Posted on Google![]()

Got paired with an excellent tutor for my COMLEX level 2 retake. Thank you so much to the matchpal team and Dr Foss for helping me boost my score by over 150 points on the 2nd attempt. The included OMM Bootcamp was also super clutch as many of my OMM questions were covered in the course!Posted on Google![]()

Was initially hesitant about working with a platform like this but after reflecting on the last few months I am so happy I took the step to work with matchpal. My internal medicine advisor completely tore apart my PS, helped me rewrite every single one of my ERAS experiences, and worked with me to come up with a signal token strategy that has already started to yield interviews. Still waiting todo my mock interviews which were included in the bundle that I got, but thus far the experience has been nothing short of fantastic and I’m grateful to their team for taking the time out of their busy resident schedules to help applicants out in such an in depth fashion.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

USMLE Tutoring FAQ
What type of student benefits the most from tutoring with MatchPal?
We work with students from every aspect of the academic spectrum, ranging from those with strong baseline scores, seeking to score in the 260+ range on Step2, as well as students that are not meeting thresholds for baseline NBME exams and want to boost their score to get to passing range before test day. Our team also has extensive experience working with students that need to retake an exam after failure.
Whether you’re a second-year medical student that needs to revise their study plan and question-taking strategy to pass Step 1, or you are a third-year medical student aiming for a competitive specialty in looking to score in the top percentiles, MatchPal tutoring can help you get there.
We offer 1:1 tutoring for USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3 as well as in addition to in-house preclinical exams and MS3 shelf exams.
Who are the tutors?
Every single one of our tutors is a current resident physician who has scored in the 90th percentile plus on USMLE.
In addition to their personal academic success. They each come with extensive experience in teaching others, often for many years in the classroom and one-on-one setting.
Tutors are trained on the Matchpal board exam success guidelines and are able to leverage their own strategies as well as our platform recommendations to customize every single student’s tutoring experience!
How are tutors assigned to students?
After signing up, every single one of our tutoring students submits an intake form in the MatchPal portal.
Our team then assigns tutors to students based on the exam they’re preparing for, their timeline, and learning styles and preferences denoted in the intake form.
All students can be expected to be paired with a tutor within 48 hours of enrollment.
How are sessions structured?
Every single tutoring student starts with a rigorous introductory session where we analyze your timeline, resources, and overall approach to the exam you are preparing for, and ends with the creation of a custom study plan.
Subsequent sessions focus on refining your question taking strategy, targeted review of weak content areas, and ongoing accountability, evaluation of scores (including practice exams) as well as making any modifications, if necessary, to the study plan.
All of our tutoring is 1:1, virtual, and scheduled independently between you and your assigned tutor.
Do you tutor for COMLEX and OMM, not just USMLE?
Yes! This is a core strength of ours. We have tutors who excelled on COMLEX Levels 1, 2, and 3, and we offer dedicated OMM support, an area most tutoring services don’t cover. If you’re a DO student who wants help with both USMLE and COMLEX, we can support the full picture.
Additionally, all of our 10hr+ tutoring bundles come with free access to our OMM Bootcamp, which is a video-based review resource that includes 40+ videos and 150+ practice questions and is designed to help you excel on the OMM portion of COMLEX I,II, or III.
How much can tutoring improve my score?
Our team has proudly achieved a 99.7% first time pass rate across all USMLE tutoring clients since 2022.
While results vary by student and starting point, our students see an average Step 2 CK increase of 21 points.
More time and earlier starts generally lead to bigger gains, so the sooner you begin, the more room there is to improve.
How quickly can I get started?
Tutors are assigned to students within 48hrs of enrollment!
How much does tutoring cost?
