What Our Students Say
He pushes his students hard, checks in frequently, and truly cares about a student’s growth and success from start to finish.
Meera Kapadia
He explained complex topics in a clear, engaging manner in order to resolve my confusion and...most importantly, he really helped me to boost my confidence and go into Step 1 feeling as ready as I possibly could.
Perry Dinardo
I recently came across this page, and it has helped me clear some concepts that are confusing for my Shelf exam preparation.
Yash Pawate
The way the material is organized is unlike any other review source I have used. Rahul makes all his teaching centered around active recall. This forces students to pull old facts from memory, recognize their weaknesses and think quickly on the spot.
Selena Pasadyn
Rahul is not just another "Kaplan type" company, he is someone that uses this information in his daily career, in addition to being an excellent teacher.
Hagar Grete

Shana Williams
The rapid review session is well worth your time, especially if you have test coming up in a few weeks. He covers so many high yield topics in such a short amount of time and can integrate them across organ systems.
