Incoming Med Student & Tutor for 5+ years (High School/APs/MCAT)

Niyomi S.

Hello there!! My name is Niyomi, and I am an incoming medical student! I graduated from the Honors College at Virginia Commonwealth University through the highly selective Guaranteed Admission Program for Medicine (BS/MD), earning a B.S. in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and a minor in Biology.

I am an experienced tutor with over 5 years of teaching experience, working with students across middle school, high school, and college levels. I specialize in a wide range of subjects, including AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Pre-Calculus, and general middle/high school coursework, as well as college-level Organic Chemistry I & II. I also provide tutoring for standardized tests, including SAT Math and ACT Science, helping students improve both their content knowledge and test-taking strategies.

For pre-med students, I offer targeted support for the MCAT, specifically the Chemical & Physical Foundations (C/P) section, where I scored in the 96th percentile. I focus on breaking down complex passages, strengthening problem-solving skills, and helping students approach the exam with confidence and strategy.

In addition to tutoring, I have served as a Teaching Assistant for Organic Chemistry and Honors Rhetoric, where I guided students through challenging material and helped them build strong problem-solving and study skills. My background in research and clinical experience allows me to connect concepts to real-world applications, making learning more engaging and meaningful.

My teaching style focuses on simplifying complex topics, building confidence, and tailoring each session to the student’s learning style and goals. Whether you’re looking to improve grades, prepare for exams, or strengthen foundational skills, I’m here to help you succeed!
