About Nima

Bio

I’m Nima, a current MD student offering tutoring in MCAT, biology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, immunology, and other science courses. My goal moves beyond simply explaining the material, but rather to help students understand exactly why they are missing questions and how to study more efficiently.

I’m Nima, a current MD student offering tutoring in MCAT, biology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, immunology, and other science courses. My goal moves beyond simply explaining the material, but rather to help students understand exactly why they are missing questions and how to study more efficiently.
I work with students who need help organizing difficult science material, identifying high-yield concepts, and learning how to apply what they know to exam questions. For MCAT students, that means identifying whether missed questions are coming from content gaps, passage strategy, timing, or reasoning errors. For course-based students, it means turning dense lecture material into testable concepts and practice questions.
As a non-traditional medical student, I spent over several years in biomedical engineering and immunology research across academic and industry labs. I also completed graduate coursework in Biomedical Sciences, which provided a strong background in foundational medical science and set me up for success for my first year of medical school. I often draw upon my past experiences and failures to help students optimize their learning and build lasting study habits.
I understand firsthand how difficult high-stakes exams can be. After initially struggling with the MCAT, I improved my score by over 12 points by exploiting content gaps and strengthening my approach to passages. That experience shaped how I tutor. Now, I help students build a realistic plan, target weak areas, and use metacognition to constantly improve performance. I provide very direct feedback to my students, often telling them "what other tutors have been afraid to say", in hopes to nourish their overall growth as a student and to address their deficits head on so they may succeed in future aspects of their careers.
I work with all types of students, from pre-med to pre-nursing, as well as undergraduate and graduate science majors. Leave me a message if you're interested in learning more!

Approved Subjects

ACT Science

ACT Science

I have over five years of published research experience in fields including biochemistry, biomedical engineering, materials science, and immunotherapy. My academic background spans biology, chemistry, physics, and the core sciences tested on the MCAT. I personally improved my MCAT score by over 12 points by reworking my study methods, test-taking strategies, and content review. Now, I specialize in helping students do the same by developing personalized, efficient plans for success.
Anatomy

Anatomy

I've taken graduate level Human Anatomy with cadaveric dissections. I'm also in medical school, where I've taken the same course, again (as a medical student), and focused more out clinical pathologies of the MSK system.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I have over five years of published research experience in fields including biochemistry, biomedical engineering, materials science, and immunotherapy. My academic background spans biology, chemistry, physics, and the core sciences tested on the MCAT.

Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I applied to 2 MD linkage programs, was interviewed at both, and accepted at both (one MMI and one traditional interview). My current program provided me a full tuition scholarship for my first year of school. The feedback I received from my Dean was that the admissions committee unanimously accepted me into their program. I now help others with completing their personal statement, application package, and interview skills.

MAJOR science improvements thanks to Nima

Nima is a great MCAT tutor. In my early practice tests, my lowest sections were Chem/Phys and Bio/Biochem. Nima helped me identify gaps in my knowledge and hone in on high-yield material. I am delighted with my MCAT score, and my two highest sections were C/P and B/B. Would strongly recommend Nima to anyone preparing for the MCAT.

Benjamin, 6 lessons with Nima

Very down to earth, kind and encouraging. HIGHLY recommend.

I was in desperate need of some help with my MCAT study plan. I met with Nima as he's starting med school soon and I can't tell you enough how much he helped me. He is the first person I have talked to that has given me real honest advice about my path and how I can realistically study for the MCAT and work and take care of myself. I really needed to talk to someone and he was the perfect person, I wish I could recommend him to all my pre-med friends. Nima is incredibly knowledgable about research, how to study, and how to be a good human and take care of yourself. I would give him 11 out of 10 stars if I could.
