Bio

Hello! I am a first year medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and am a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis where I studied Computational Biology & Genomics and Global Health. Though I'm pursuing a career in medicine, I come from a family of educators and have always loved teaching and tutoring others. I took the MCAT in August 2018 and achieved a score of 523 (99th percentile) with a perfect 132 on CARS. I have 3 years of experience tutoring Algebra and SAT...

Hello! I am a first year medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and am a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis where I studied Computational Biology & Genomics and Global Health. Though I'm pursuing a career in medicine, I come from a family of educators and have always loved teaching and tutoring others. I took the MCAT in August 2018 and achieved a score of 523 (99th percentile) with a perfect 132 on CARS. I have 3 years of experience tutoring Algebra and SAT math and reading, as well as SAT Math II. While at WashU I led student study groups in physics as a peer mentor and tutored classmates in MCAT. Studying methods and skills are unique to each of us, and as someone who's tried them all I love working with a student to help them figure out what works best for them!

I have tutored in Algebra and SAT/ACT for years. These are great strengths of mine, as evidenced by my scores of 800 in SAT reading and math I&II. I am an excellent standardized test taker and love to pass on my methods and tips to help others achieve high results. I have over 200 hours of tutoring experience for SAT and ACT.

I majored in Biology in college and maintained a high level of success in numerous upper level biology courses, such as cell biology, human physiology, physiological control systems, eukaryotic genomes, cancer biology, and many more. I have worked with multiple students on preparing for the AP Biology exam.

I took the MCAT in August 2018 and achieved a score of 523 (99th percentile):
130 (97th percentile) on Chem/Phys, 132 (100th) on CARS, 130 (96th) on Bio/Biochem, and 131 (99th) on Psych/Soc.

I took 10 weeks to study independently for the MCAT, though the bulk of my prep was done in 6, and devised my own unique prep plan to follow during that time, which is broken up into 4 general phases: first pass through content, review and familiarization, practice and FAQ review, and stamina preparation. Testing and studying are individual to each of us - what works for one person may not work for a

MCAT

I created my own holistic prep plan to approach the MCAT after scouring resources for the best approach. I received a score of 523 (130/132/130/131) which is in the 99th percentile. If you're looking for help with the MCAT, whether that be content clarifications, study planning, or standardized testing skills, I'd love to help you!

Super nice and knows her stuff!

We just had our first session today. Simran was very nice and based on her words I could tell that she cares about my success for the MCAT. She was a great find on Wyzant!

Excellent MCAT tutor who knows her stuff!

Simran is an excellent tutor! She does a fantastic job at explaining content and encouraging her students to think critically about material and practice questions. In addition, she provides useful strategies on how to tackle the MCAT as a whole. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an MCAT tutor.

Great Tutor!

Simran was very helpful. I wanted to increase my score a couple of points two weeks before my exam date and Simran's FAQ technique helped cover a lot of material in a short period of time. She was very understanding and walked me through how to improve on my weaknesses.

Prepared, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to

I just finished my first session to create an MCAT study schedule. I have had a pit in my stomach for weeks because I felt overwhelmed. I didn't know where to begin, which materials are best, when to study, when to practice, etc. I feel a lot better after working with Simran because I have a proven plan to move forward. I am not excited to study, but I am confident that I have a study plan and a tutor available to help me adjust it as necessary.
