About Kai


Bio

Hi, my name is Kai (he/him)! I am an MD/MPH student at Tufts University School of Medicine. I completed my BS in Public Health, and before that, my AS in Chemistry. I am a very down-to-earth person and like to keep tutoring sessions as casual-style conversations to maintain a stress-free environment where it feels easy to approach me. As a bonus, I will understand any TikTok references you make during our sessions. I specialize in Personal Statements, Essay Writing, Chemistry, and...

Hi, my name is Kai (he/him)! I am an MD/MPH student at Tufts University School of Medicine. I completed my BS in Public Health, and before that, my AS in Chemistry. I am a very down-to-earth person and like to keep tutoring sessions as casual-style conversations to maintain a stress-free environment where it feels easy to approach me. As a bonus, I will understand any TikTok references you make during our sessions. I specialize in Personal Statements, Essay Writing, Chemistry, and Epidemiology.

I have a proven track record in personal statement and essay writing, having received over a dozen scholarships, several internship offers, and, of course, acceptance to med school! For several years, I have helped high school students craft stellar personal statements to get accepted into their top-choice schools. More recently, I have helped undergraduate students get accepted into nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and graduate programs.

With over 2 years of undergraduate chemistry under my belt, I offer many tricks and methods to make the subject easy to understand. I scored in the top 4% on the Chemistry/Physics section of the Medical College Admissions Test. I've also scored in the top 1% and 10% for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, respectively, on the American Chemical Society Exams.

I have a very firm grasp on undergraduate-level principles in Epidemiology, including study design, measures of disease (prevalence, incidence, etc.), inferential statistics, and bias and confounding. Having focused on computational methods during my Bachelor's, I am proficient in tutoring these concepts and applying them through statistical software (R and Stata).

If you would like help with general tutoring and/or test prep for chemistry and epidemiology, consulting for undergrad research, or are looking to write the best personal statement possible, feel free to message me for questions and scheduling.

Epidemiology

Epidemiology

Having studied Public Health with a focus on computational methods for my Bachelor of Science, I have a very firm grasp on undergraduate-level principles in Epidemiology, including study design, descriptive and inferential statistics (prevalence, incidence, etc.), regression model selection, bias and confounding, and coefficient interpretations. I am proficient in tutoring these concepts as well as applied epidemiology through statistical software (R and Stata). Additionally, I have two years of experience in Epidemiology research, having conducted several independent projects and written multiple academic papers. I continue to gain further specialization in Epidemiology and Biostatistics during my graduate education.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Having excelled in several college English and Literature classes, I have a deep passion for helping students with essay writing and critiquing. Having written dozens of successful essays for secondary applications for medical/graduate school along with scholarship and internship applications, I have a proven track record of consistent, high-quality writing that is often verbally acknowledged by committees. With 2 years of research under my belt, I am also well-versed in scientific writing for academic papers. My dual background in essay and scientific writing prepares me to excel in a range of writing styles, from narrative-based to academic, and to ensure students are putting their best foot forward in their essays, whether it be for classes or career development.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have written successful personal statements resulting in acceptance to my top choice college and medical/graduate school. I have 2 years of experience meeting with high school students to review and edit their personal statements as they apply to college, and 100% of them have matched to their top choice schools. More recently, I have helped undergraduate students craft stellar personal statements to earn them acceptance into pharmacy, dental, nursing, and graduate programs. My personal statement writing skills are also exemplified through scholarship awards and internship offers; I have received a dozen scholarships totalling over $30k as well as numerous research internship offers, with interviewers noting the quality of my personal statement during interviews.

Prepared and Thorough Tutor

Kai thoroughly reviewed my personal statement for CASPA prior to the lesson, leaving comments for me to reference. During the lesson, he answered my questions and offered good insight into what I should do moving forward to strengthen my writing.

Honest and Supporting Tutor

Kai was perfect!! They helped me turn rough essays into something I am truly proud of. What helped ranged from simply guiding me in a better direction, to gently advising against some key errors. All in all, a wise tutor that will help for sure.
