Hi everyone! I am an MD/MPH candidate at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine on merit scholarship. I earned my undergraduate degree in Public Policy Studies from Vanderbilt University, where I also received a full-tuition merit scholarship to attend.

I have a strong passion for admissions consulting at all levels (undergraduate, BS/MD, PA, NP, and MD/DO admissions). I have worked for CollegeVine, a top admissions consultancy firm, where I helped high school Juniors and Seniors prepare their Common Applications with an emphasis on stand-out personal statements and extracurriculars. I also specialize in medical school admissions where I am well versed in the AMCAS and TMDAS. I not only helped my clients with primary applications, secondaries, and interviews - but also focus on creating a list of schools to maximize your chances of merit scholarship! Medical school is expensive and I want you to have a choice as to how much you have to pay. Finally, I serve/have served on admissions committees and understand what higher education is looking for in students these days!

I also offer MCAT and USMLE tutoring. I studied for the MCAT in 6 weeks and received a 521 (98% percentile: C/P 131 CARS 130 B/BC 131 P/S 129). I specifically focus on teaching CARS as it is an easy section for students to lose points if they do not know the right test taking strategies. I focus on teaching students new ways to approach the CARS section and avoid the traps the MCAT sets for you! Test-taking is an important part of your application and I am ready to help you work towards the scores you want!

My approach to tutoring is guided by empathy, structure, and adaptability. Whether breaking down complex concepts in biology or helping students polish essays that tell their story, I focus on building confidence and lasting understanding. With years of experience mentoring peers and designing educational programs, I’m passionate about helping students find their voice, stay motivated, and achieve academic success.

College Counseling

College Counseling

I work with students applying to undergraduate and graduate programs (MD, DO, PA, NP, etc.) on written applications and interview preparation. I previously worked for a top undergraduate admissions consulting firm, where I helped high school Juniors and Seniors prepare compelling applications. I also serve on a medical school admissions committee and have a strong background in preparing students for their MD/DO primaries, secondaries, and interviews (traditional, panel, and MMI). I am aware of higher education approaches admissions and can offer you in-depth counseling no matter what stage you are at!
MCAT

MCAT

I studied for the MCAT in 6 weeks and received a 521 (98th Percentile: B/BC 131, C/P 131, CARS 130, P/S 129) on my first attempt. I tutor the CARS section specifically as it where test-taking strategies and understanding the MCAT create the largest gains for students. My focus is on using AAMC style passages and questions to show you in real-time how to tackle CARS and improve your score!
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Personal statements are the foundation for any admissions application. They need to have thoughtful stories, demonstrate compelling personal qualities, and showcase your professional potential. I focus on helping students write stellar personal statements for all the major applications: Common Application, AMCAS, TMDAS, ERAS, & other graduate health degrees (RN, PA, NP, DO). I have worked at CollegeVine, a top admissions college consulting firm, and held my own personal clients at the medical school and residency admissions levels.
USMLE

USMLE

I completed both USMLE Step 1 (Pass) and Step 2 (258). I took both exams on the first attempt and studied effectively within 3 months for both exams. I understand the USMLE testing language and where to place your time and energy during this preparation process.

College Application navigation Lifesaver!!

Srivarun has been tremendously helpful in guiding my son through the college application process. He explains everything clearly and takes the time to answer any questions with patience and detail. His knowledge of the application steps, essays, and strategies make the process feel much less overwhelming and more manageable for my son and as a parent. I really appreciate how he breaks things down into actionable steps and helps him stay organized and confident. I would highly recommend Srivarun to any student looking for support with college applications or academic guidance in general.

Leela, 4 lessons with Srivarun

Smart, kind, and patient

I was feeling really lost with my college admission essay, but Varun was super patient, kind, and easy to work with. He gave me so many helpful ideas and perspectives, and I feel much more confident about my essay now!

Selene, 3 lessons with Srivarun

Very patient and understanding

I was able to learn a lot and appreciate how understanding Varun was. I am a slow reader and take more time than most to really understand a topic or question but he took the time to sit with me and guide me to where I need to go. He also helped me realize some of the common mistakes I would make in regards to my thinking process and how to make those adjustments to better tackle the questions. Overall, I truly appreciate his reassurance and help in having a better mindset when approaching CARS.
