About Vishal


Bio

I am a graduate of Cornell University currently obtaining my MD at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I graduated in the top 1% of my class at Cornell with a major in Chemistry and minors in Mathematics and Global Health and have scored in the 100th percentile on the SAT (1600), ACT, (36) and MCAT (527/528). As such, I have a very strong passion for all core math and science disciplines and love to share what I know with students from the elementary through collegiate levels!

I am a graduate of Cornell University currently obtaining my MD at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. I graduated in the top 1% of my class at Cornell with a major in Chemistry and minors in Mathematics and Global Health and have scored in the 100th percentile on the SAT (1600), ACT, (36) and MCAT (527/528). As such, I have a very strong passion for all core math and science disciplines and love to share what I know with students from the elementary through collegiate levels!

During my 10 years of tutoring experience, I have taught many different kinds of students in various settings. I started as a young tutor at Kumon Math and Reading Center teaching mathematics of all levels arithmetic through calculus to students ages 5 to 18. Afterwards, I tutored math, chemistry, physics, and ACT prep on the online platform Varsity Tutors. In college, I was named a teaching assistant for physics courses in mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and was responsible for teaching group problem-solving sessions in a classroom setting. I have also taught college-level biology, biochemistry, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, psychology, and sociology as an MCAT Tutor for MedSchoolCoach, a national leader in medical school admissions consulting. In all of my tutoring roles, I have emphasized understanding over memorization and aim to help build solid conceptual foundations. I work with students to develop organized tutoring plans and try to take their input very seriously – because nobody knows you better than you! My goal is not only to make each individual a more successful student, but also to help them find interest and joy in what they are learning. Please contact me to learn more about how to schedule a lesson. I hope to have the privilege of tutoring you!

Knowledgeable and excellent at explaining complex concepts

Vishal did an amazing job helping me with some challenging AP chemistry equilibrium problems. He's very knowledgeable, down to earth, and patient. Within an hour I had a much better understanding of problems that I couldn't understand for days.

Great chemistry tutor!

Vishal helped me so much with acid base chemistry! He explained the concepts I was struggling with in an easy to understand way and I already feel much more confident in the subject. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Calculus II Help

Vishal and I discussed absolute convergence as well as the ratio/root tests. He was knowledgeable about both topics and helped me with some of my homework. Additionally, he walked me through some of the foundational topics and really clarified the topics for me. I definitely recommend him if you are struggling with calculus.

Knowledgeable Tutor with a great spirit!

My son had his first session for Algebra with Vishal S. today. My son felt empowered and was excited to meet a tutor he worked so well with. He looks forward to his session next week! Thank you Vishal!

Chemistry

Vishal knows chemistry very well and can pass it on to students. He did a great job with my daughter, explained everything, plus helping with shortcuts to make the learning experience faster and easier. Great job. Thank you.
