About Riya


Bio

I’m a high-scoring test taker and experienced tutor offering support in English, SAT, and MCAT prep. I earned a 1560 on the SAT and a 517 on the MCAT, and I focus on teaching students how to think clearly and strategically rather than rely on memorization alone. My core teaching philosophy is that any difficult concept can be made approachable when it’s broken into simple, logical steps. I explain ideas in a structured way, check for understanding, and then help students apply them across...

I’m a high-scoring test taker and experienced tutor offering support in English, SAT, and MCAT prep. I earned a 1560 on the SAT and a 517 on the MCAT, and I focus on teaching students how to think clearly and strategically rather than rely on memorization alone. My core teaching philosophy is that any difficult concept can be made approachable when it’s broken into simple, logical steps. I explain ideas in a structured way, check for understanding, and then help students apply them across different question types until the skill sticks.

For English and writing, my priority is improving grades and clarity while preserving each student’s authentic voice. I don’t believe in rewriting your work into something generic. Instead, I help strengthen your argument, organization, and style so your writing still sounds like you, just more polished and effective. I give concrete, actionable feedback and teach revision strategies you can reuse on future assignments and essays. For SAT and MCAT tutoring, I adapt to your learning style and pacing, identify patterns in mistakes, and build targeted strategies for accuracy and timing.

I know firsthand how much great tutors can change a student’s confidence and trajectory. I am excited to give back, support your goals, and build a collaborative learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and growing your skills.

As a Peer Writing Tutor at the Sweetland Writing Center at the University of Michigan, I have worked one-on-one with over 50 students on academic, creative, and professional writing. I specialize in essay structure, argument development, clarity, and revision strategy. My approach focuses on strengthening ideas and organization while preserving the writer’s original voice and intent. I have experience tutoring over 50 personal statements, research papers, and application essays across multiple disciplines.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 517 on the MCAT and tutor students across core sections including C/P, B/B, and CARS, with an emphasis on reasoning skills, passage analysis, and time-efficient strategy. I focus on breaking down complex scientific concepts into simple, testable frameworks and teaching students how to recognize patterns in question design. Sessions are highly personalized, targeting weak areas, reviewing missed questions in depth, and building repeatable approaches for passage-based problems. I’m happy to provide my official score report if needed.
