About Divya

Bio

Hello! My name is Divya N. and I am currently a graduate from Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a B.A. in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology.

Hello! My name is Divya N. and I am currently a graduate from Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a B.A. in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology. My positive, caring, and problem-based approach to learning seeks to encourage students to be patient with themselves as they work through problems, strengthening their concept understanding as they practice. My goal is to strengthen a student’s confidence in a subject they may be weak in, whether this be improving test and homework scores or fostering a love for that subject, hopefully both. Seeing a student rejoice after they master a particularly hard subject never fails to bring a smile to my face!

I have 6 years of tutoring experience in AP Calculus AB, Precalculus, and Algebra. Additionally, I extensively prepared for the ACT mathematics, science, and English sections, mastering test taking techniques. Having achieved a near perfect math and science score of 35, a perfect English score of 36, and a 99th percentile composite score of 35, I am confident in my ability to assist students on the ACT. I also look forward to supporting students through their college application process, having gone through undergrad admissions and MD admissions processes myself. I am well equipped to help with building a college list, essay planning, application timeline help, and essay editing.

Having a degree in biology, I am deeply passionate about the physical sciences and hold a special love for the life sciences. In high school, I took honors biology and AP Biology, and answered the SAT Molecular Biology Subject Test, receiving a perfect score of 800. I have further mastered this knowledge through coursework and lab work at Johns Hopkins University, and I will be pursuing my M.D. degree.

Thank you for stopping by my profile! Please feel free to contact me anytime.

ACT Science

ACT Science

Having received a 35 on the ACT Science section and an overall composite score of 35, I have the test-taking knowledge and skill set necessary to assist students on this section of the ACT. I am familiar with test taking strategies and common pit falls when it comes to this portion of the exam, and I am familiar with ways to mitigate these problems.
Biology

Biology

1) I received my B.S. at Johns Hopkins University, with one of my majors being Molecular and Cellular Biology, and I am extremely passionate and knowledgeable in this field. I am extremely comfortable tutoring high school students in high school biology because the subject matter is still fresh in my mind! 2) I have taken Biology Honors and AP Biology during my freshman and junior years in high school respectively, securing an A in both classes. I scored a 4 on my AP Biology exam as well. 3) I have taken the SAT Subject Molecular Biology Test, receiving a perfect score of 800.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Entering medical school in the summer of 2025, I am now well versed in interviewing for undergrad admission, job positions, internships, and the medical school admission cycle. I held various leadership and research positions in my undergraduate experience, where my communication allowed me to excel. I received 4 interviews for the 2024-2025 medical school cycle (Duke, University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and Albert Einstein College of Medicine). With these interviews being a mix of MMI and traditional style, I feel confident that my strong interview skills are what awarded me admission to several of these institutions.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Now an incoming medical student, I have experience with 2 admissions processes and writing personal statements for undergraduate admission and medical school admission. Having attended Johns Hopkins University for undergrad and gained admission at University of Michigan and Duke for medical school, my creative personal statements were the first step in setting me apart in the applicant pool. I enjoy coaching friends and family with their personal statements informally, and I hope to assist in synthesizing your lived experience into a captivating and cohesive narrative!
