About Us

Who We Are

We are a dedicated team looking to help students get into Italian Medical Schools. With previous experience in private tutoring for both the IMAT & HUMAT, we decided to expand into an online environment in order to reach a broader audience that can benefit from our articles, courses as well as our quizz platform.

Our Mission

Every year, medical students face the same struggles with the admission process, the main one being: lack of preparation. We noticed that every single course focused on teaching mostly theoretical notions, while the practical part was either disregarded or superficial and there could be nothing more wrong than this! It’s true that a good theoretical basis is always important, but the IMAT and HUMAT tests are centered on practice as well as the candidate’s ability to focus and solve problems in a timely manner. This is why a good practical training can and will make a huge difference.

A lack of variety is the next one: there isn’t a platform that gives candidates an alternative, every course focuses solely on the IMAT or the HUMAT, but never both. What happens if you have a bad day on test day? Will you wait another year to reattempt the exam? Or will you pay the same amount again to take another course? For these reasons, we wanted to create a platform which was able to systematically approach the IMAT and the HUMAT all while familiarising students with the test through simulations, in order to give students the best chances of success as well as more application options.

Finally, we have the lack of information: most platforms do not have communities and frequent updates that make new key information or changes readily available for everyone. We wanted to correct that with a weekly newsletter where you will receive all the updates straight to your inbox and a Discord community where you will be able to interact with current test takers, medical students and our tutors.

We strive to provide a 360° IMAT and HUMAT preparation for our course participants through an innovative, blended approach. Tackling both theory and practice in a systematical way there won’t be any last-minute surprises. All while giving all users access to key information and quizzing free of charge.

Founders‘ Letter

After receiving an increasing amount of messages from candidates looking to learn more about the English MD program or inquire about private tutoring, we decided to look into the current services available for future students and how we could improve them. The recurring issues we noticed on the replies to our intial survey were the following: awkward interfaces, exorbitant prices, outdated information and lack of transparency.

Months of brainstorming later, we came to the conclusion that the best solution to fix all of the issues was a freemium model that kept all of our features ad free and gave the end user the option to participate in a course, a simulation day or unlock more questions. Most importantly, this model will allow the knowledge base as well as our content to be updated daily and be accessible by anyone for free.

Having gone through the admission test as EU and Non EU candidates, we know the challenges on both sides of the spectrum. With the help of our tech partner and professor guidance, we were able to create a platform that will host the live lessons as well the material while keeping student interaction high. The courses are taught by our experienced tutor team and are verified by professors in order to condense information, ensure accuracy and improve readability.

But that’s not all…We made sure it was affordable, at an average of 21.9 €/h we are way below the others (52.6 €/h).

This is just the beginning for our platform, we have more features and releases planned that we will hopefully be able to implement in the future.
