How it works
Structure that makes focus automatic.
Studying with others is one of the simplest ways to stay consistent. Study Hall gives every session the same predictable rhythm.
Join the room
Hop into the live video room at a scheduled time. Camera on if you like the accountability, off if you don't.
Set a goal in chat
Post one concrete goal for the session, like “40 UWorld questions + review” or “draft my methods section.”
50/10 focus blocks
Work in quiet 50-minute blocks with mics muted, then take a 10-minute break to stretch, refill, and reset.
End-of-session check-in
Close by sharing what you finished and what is next. Small wins, logged consistently, add up to big ones.
Weekly schedule
A room that's open most nights.

FAQ
Study Hall questions
Still unsure? Book a free consult and ask us directly.
Is Study Hall tutoring?
No. Study Hall is a structured, shared study space for focused independent work. Tutoring happens in your one-on-one sessions. The exception is the weekly office hour, when Dr. Dave answers questions live.
Do I have to turn on my camera or talk?
No. Camera is always optional, and mics stay muted during focus blocks. Many members simply post a goal in chat, work, and check in at the end.
Who can join?
Study Hall is included for students enrolled in eligible ProMed United programs. The room link is shared after enrollment.
Are sessions recorded?
No. Study Hall is never recorded, and members agree not to record or screenshot others.
Can I use the focus timer without joining?
Yes. The timer on this page is free for anyone. It works in your browser and keeps running in the tab title while you study.
