I am a current resident physician based in LA, with 7 years of tutoring experience from the high school to graduate school level, including nursing/nurse practitioner, pharmacy, medical, and pre-medical students. I also tutor USMLE Step 1 and 2. I have a Bachelors in Biochemistry from GW, Masters in Public Health in Epidemiology from Columbia University, and my medical degree from Pittsburgh. My main expertise lies in the STEM field, particularly in the pre-medical/medical tract including but not limited to: Psychology, Sociology, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Cell Bio, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Anatomy, and Physiology. I also tutor for standardized exams, including USMLE Step 1 and 2, MCAT, GRE, AP Chem and Bio and Psychology.

I have a 5 star rating with students from other tutoring companies I work with, as my tutoring sessions are didactic and adaptable to the student's needs and interests. I make the most of our hour sessions, and work with them, creating a pneumonic and acronyms, until they have learned the material. I also fortify the student's knowledge they have learned in our session with practice problems and test questions to prepare them for their exams and critical thinking skills. This has helped my students improve their grades to receive As in difficult courses, such as Biochemistry and Anatomy. I have also helped students raise their score on practice standardized tests, including USMLE, MCAT, and nursing exams, to better prepare them for the real exam. My schedule is very flexible and I am very feasible to help with any "emergency" tutoring sessions. Please reach out to me if you're interested!

Today, we reviewed antibiotics used in febrile neutropenia and discussed the various bacteria involved. She really helps me reinforce and retain the material, which I truly appreciate. Thank you

Nikki is a fantastic tutor. She’s helped me break down the topic of oncological emergencies in a way that makes it much easier to understand. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. I’m truly grateful to have her as a tutor.

Great teacher and motivator

Nikki is very very helpful and most importantly, she’s very encouraging. Navigating my MCAT has been very difficult and draining for me. Throughout our session, she reassured me everything was going to be okay and gave me guidance as to how to approach something as draining as the MCAT. After our session, I feel like I can handle the rigorous studying. I’m so happy I found her as a tutor and highly recommend her for tutoring.

Dedicated, insightful and intelligent

Nikki K. helped me study for step 1 of the USMLE. She easily teaches complex topics, and her commitment to improving my studies is unprecedented. If you are looking for a caring, organized tutor, look no further. The only regret you will have is that you didn't see her sooner.

Awesome and extremely knowledgeable

Nikki was able to quickly and accurately summarize the main points that I needed to understand for an upcoming Oncology Pharmacology quiz. She is so kind and gives you helpful tips on how to learn and remember the material. I feel a lot more confident and understand the pharmacology of oncology much better after our session. Highly recommend.

Very helpful

I had my first session with Nikki. I was feeling very overwhelmed with my Pharm class. She really explained everything really well and offered to quiz me and give me extra material if needed. I am going to continue to meet with her as well because I loved her energy and she really took her time explaining everything.
