High-Scoring Med Student: STEM, Test Prep & Application Expert

Nico G.

I’m a medical student at Dell Medical School, University of Texas at Austin, currently on academic leave to conduct cutting-edge research at NYU Langone Health, focused on the applications of artificial intelligence in brain tumor surgery. At Dell Med, I authored a thesis and was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, recognizing my commitment to compassionate, humanistic patient care—an accolade that reflects both my clinical dedication and interpersonal excellence. I moved to New York for my third year of medical school to pursue research, and was offered the opportunity to stay for an extra year prior to my final year of medical school. Before medical school, I spent two years working as a physics teaching assistant at Texas A&M and completed three years of biochemistry research there. These varied experiences have sharpened my analytical skills and deepened my enthusiasm for helping students navigate complex scientific and mathematical concepts with clarity, empathy, and confidence.

I tutor students across a broad spectrum of ages and STEM subjects—from middle school through college—and specialize in high-impact test prep (MCAT 526, SAT 1490, ACT 35, PSAT 1500, Step 2 275), as well as medical school application support. My approach centers on personalized instruction: I begin with understanding your goals and learning preferences, then tailor lessons using active problem-solving, compelling explanations, and real-world examples. Whether you're aiming for a better understanding of in-class content, improved test scores, or polished application essays, I strive to make my sessions both effective and engaging.

I am available for both online and in-person sessions on the Upper East Side, though I would be willing to travel for the right fit. If you're looking for a tutor who blends academic rigor with empathy and real-world insight, I’d love to support your success—let’s connect and plan your next step!
