Student testimonials

"Dr. Jain is one of the most gifted professors I have ever experienced. He has a true passion for teaching and leading students to want to achieve more of themselves. His techniques reinforce the learning of concepts not just rote memorization of facts. His mentoring has been the greatest factor in my ability to successfully move forward in my goals to become a practicing physician. He is an exemplary instructor who selflessly works to help his students achieve their fullest potential. When students come to me with questions regarding how to succeed, I recommend Dr. Jain to help them continue their journey. I can think of no one more suited to have as a mentor and guide toward achieving my lifelong dream."

"Dr. Jain tutored me during my Step 2 exam and I enjoyed it so much I asked him for an interview service when applying for residency. He is always so down to earth and makes you feel confident about where you are in your journey. I have recommended him to many of my friends in similar positions and they have all benefited from his teachings/methods. It can be a very stressful time but he always manages to bring you back to earth and make everything seem possible instead of miles away."

“Dr. Jain is an outstanding tutor – professional, caring, and deeply knowledgeable. I was facing my final attempt at Step 3 and under an immense amount of pressure. Dr Jain provided not only academic support but also the encouragement and structure I needed during a very stressful time. He created a personalized study schedule that kept me on track and went above and beyond, even providing documentation for my institution. Thanks to his guidance, I passed Step 3. I highly recommend Dr. Jain to any student preparing for the USMLE Step exams – especially those navigating high-stakes situations. His guidance made a real difference in my journey!”

“Dr. Jain is very caring and genuinely makes sure your needs are met . What I appreciate most is that if he doesn’t know the answer to a specific question, he’ll openly acknowledge it, take the time to look it up, study the topic, and make sure to discuss it thoroughly the next time we meet. He also goes the extra mile by providing helpful materials on topics I find challenging.”

Amazing!! Super helpful. Dr. Jain is so calm and he never makes you feel dumb or scared to share your thought process. It was hard to change my whole testing strategy (if I can call it a strategy) and so going through the 10-step method along with Dr. Jain really helped shift my mind to use it plus use it correctly. I literally recommend him to everyone I know who struggles with med school material. He’s been such an invaluable resource for taking Level 1 and I felt much more confident knowing he helped me with learning how to effectively study and test-taking.

I worked with Dr. Jain for both STEP 1 and STEP 2. 10/10 Amazing experience! Dr. Jain helped me improve my knowledge, test taking skills, and confidence. There were many highs and lows in the process and I am beyond grateful to have had Dr. Jain to get me through them. I developed the discipline to stay in a routine, the ability to stick to a test-taking strategy, and how to efficiently learn from practice questions. Dr. Jain was patient with me, available, and always honest. There were times I was frustrated and he talked me through it. He did periodic “mindset reset” sessions to assure I was in the right head space, and he kept me accountable. I was anxious towards the end of my prep to the point where I wanted to extend my sessions to be longer and more frequent. However, this was not in accordance to the plan and doing so would be futile considering we had already done over a couple months of prep. Instead, Dr. Jain gave me confidence in our plan and the prep we had done together. I ended up scoring better than what I could have imagined. But it was exactly what Dr. Jain had predicted. Whether you are failing practice exams or comfortably passing, I would recommend Dr. Jain to anyone as he will bring out your full potential and develop skills that you will carry on forever.

Dr. Jain maintains a very good balance of realism and positivity. When I needed to take more time he told me to, and when I was being too harsh on myself he told me that too. He also put emphasis on finding and using resources I already had available to me which was appreciated. I was able to better follow a schedule and this program allowed me to focus less on how to study and more on the actual studying itself. I learned how to study for this volume of content, how to review for this volume of content & better approach to answering questions which allowed me to apply learned knowledge more effectively. Overall, it was a fantastic tutoring experience!

My experience with Dr. Jain was excellent. He helped me refine my study skills and test-taking techniques for both shelf exams and Level 2, and worked with me to create a clear, structured plan to reach my goals. I truly enjoyed all of our meetings. He is not only a knowledgeable tutor, but also a great mentor who is caring, compassionate, and invested in his students’ success! Dr. Jain took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and guided me with clear strategies that were tailored to my needs. He genuinely cared about my progress and well-being, which made me feel motivated and confident throughout the process.

I have nothing but positive feedback about the tutoring provided by Dr. Jain at Stress Free Prep. I worked with him throughout my preparation for COMLEX level 1, shelf exams during 3rd year and COMLEX level 2. Although my initial attempt at level 1 was unsuccessful for various personal reasons, I was thankful to have the knowledgable and encouraging guidance of Dr. Jain. After studying for 6 weeks, while concurrently on 3rd year rotations, I was able to successfully pass my retake level 1 exam with the help of Stress Free Prep tutoring. I continued to work with Dr. Jain throughout my 3rd year for NBOME shelf examinations, working to alter and refine my study habits and test taking strategies – ultimately resulting in a more successful academic year. With this foundation and continued tutoring sessions, my preparation and overall performance leading up to COMLEX level 2 was significantly improved from the previous summer – ultimately resulting in a successful pass on my first attempt of COMLEX level 2. I developed 3 skills – a structured approach to test taking – specifically when “stuck” how to best apply methodical strategies with individual questions and an exam as a whole, growth of my medical knowledge – for example, looking at diagnoses/disease processes through the lens of 2nd/3rd order thinking, positive reinforcement and improved self-regulation – medical training is, rightfully so, a challenging endeavor but improving these skills throughout this process has significantly helped the mental component to studying/ exams. The longitudinal tutoring I received through Stress Free Prep cultivated a deeper understanding of medicine and as I prepare to enter residency training, I feel confident that my foundational knowledge is significantly improved as a result.

My overall experience with Stress Free Prep was extremely positive. The tutoring sessions provided a structured yet flexible approach that not only strengthened my medical knowledge but also gave me the tools to manage test-taking under pressure. I consistently left sessions feeling more confident, motivated, and better prepared. The 3 skills I developed  in the process:

-Test-taking strategies – I learned how to approach difficult questions methodically, manage time effectively, and minimize second-guessing.

-Managing test anxiety – Through CBT and mindfulness techniques, I developed healthier ways to stay calm and focused during practice tests and on exam day.

-Self-confidence – Regular feedback and encouragement helped me build trust in my preparation and ability to succeed.

Working with Dr. Shenil Jain was an excellent experience. He is not only highly knowledgeable in medicine but also genuinely invested in his students’ success. It was clear from the beginning that he cared as much as I did about my progress, which is why I chose to work with him for both my STEP 1 and STEP 2 preparation. He tailored his approach to my needs—whether that meant reviewing difficult medical concepts, practicing test-taking strategies, or addressing test anxiety. On one occasion, after I received a disappointing score on a practice exam shortly before my test date, Dr. Jain took time over the weekend to talk with me and create a clear, manageable plan moving forward. That level of dedication reassured me and helped me regain confidence. Our sessions always left me feeling stronger—both in knowledge and in mindset.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jain to any student, especially those struggling with test anxiety or looking for personalized guidance. His combination of medical expertise, practical strategies, and genuine care for his students makes him an exceptional tutor.

I had a great experience working with Dr. Jain for my step 2 prep. I really appreciated his structured approach and test taking strategies. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a clear plan, accountability, and high-yield strategy.
