About Rishikesh

Bio

I have been teaching SAT since 2014, primarily working with juniors in high school. My experience with MCAT tutoring has been mainly with college sophomores to seniors. Most of my tutoring has been conducted online, with some local sessions.

I hold a B.S. from UCLA and have extensive experience in tutoring MCAT, GMAT, SAT, and ACT. With impressive scores of 523 in MCAT and 765 in GMAT, I have a proven track record of success.

I have been teaching SAT since 2014, primarily working with juniors in high school. My experience with MCAT tutoring has been mainly with college sophomores to seniors. Most of my tutoring has been conducted online, with some local sessions.

My teaching approach is highly tailored to each student's unique needs and goals. I understand that test prep strategies vary depending on the target score, whether it's 655, 705, or 755. I work with students to identify their best learning style—whether they are practical learners who benefit from doing problems or those who need help with theories, knowledge, and strategies. Together, we develop a personalized study plan and equip you with the best strategies for success.

I have extensive experience in college/medical school counseling, successfully guiding ~10 students to secure admissions into top med schools, Ivy League schools, the Air Force Academy, and top public universities. My expertise lies in crafting authentic narratives that showcase each student's unique strengths and qualities. I focus on highlighting their individual stories to present them in the best possible light, ensuring they stand out in the competitive admissions process. Additionally, I had secured admissions into 2 top medical schools but decided to pursue my business interests instead.

My availability changes weekly, so please message me to discuss timing and fit before booking a session.

Incredible essay editor

Rishikesh is spot on when it comes to understanding how to mold an essay and draw out the necessary “story” from my daughter. I highly recommended Rishikesh for college prep, essay help and editing

Five Stars

Rishikesh is an excellent tutor. Given my situation, I had a short turn around to take the GMAT Focus edition, and with his help, I was able to get a solid understanding of the test, best ways to approach certain questions, and how to actually do well

Excellent Tutor

I've only had a few sessions with Rishi, yet he has already helped me so much. Even though he's tutoring me specifically for the CommonApp essay, he's very well-knowledged in the entire college application process, and I feel confident that he will help me succeed and craft an excellent essay. He's great at guiding me exactly to where I need to be, and I think that he's a very friendly and patient tutor. I definitely plan to get more lessons from him!
