I am offering private tutoring for the Step 1 and Step 2 CK starting at very affordable rates (40-50$ an hour). I have made high yield notes that I used to study for the two steps, and I teach theory using those notes and my tablet. I also teach question solving skills. For this, email me on: [email protected]
