Incoming Medical Student | Science Tutor | MCAT (96th Percentile)

Akhil N.

I am a Temple University student in the BS/MD program with an existing medical school acceptance, and I have extensive experience studying and tutoring biology, chemistry, and other science subjects. I scored a 519 on the MCAT (96th percentile), with section scores of 130 Chemical and Physical Foundations, 130 CARS, 128 Biological and Biochemical Foundations, and 131 Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations.

My approach to science tutoring focuses on understanding concepts rather than memorizing information. I work with students to understand why something happens, recognize patterns, connect concepts across topics, and apply what they know to unfamiliar questions. I believe this approach helps students not only perform better on exams but also retain the material more effectively.

I tailor each session to the student's individual needs. Depending on the course and goals, we can work on building foundational knowledge, reviewing difficult concepts, completing practice problems, analyzing mistakes, preparing for upcoming exams, or developing more effective study strategies. I can help students break down complicated material into manageable pieces and develop a systematic approach to solving challenging questions.

I have particular experience with biology, chemistry, pre-med coursework, and standardized test preparation, and my recent MCAT preparation gave me extensive practice applying these subjects at a high level. Whether you're struggling with a specific unit or looking to strengthen your overall performance in a course, my goal is to help you become a more confident and independent science student.
