Hello! My name is Sai, and I have 6+ years of experience in college advising, pre-medical mentoring, application essay editing, and academic tutoring. I was accepted Early Decision to Brown University, where I completed the Sheridan Teaching Certificate, and I am currently a 4th-year medical student. Having recently navigated both college and med school admissions and served on my medical school's interview committee, I offer a current, insider perspective that many students and families find especially valuable.

Throughout my own pre-med education, I benefited greatly from mentors, tutors, and counselors who guided me through high-stakes academic decisions. I am passionate about providing that same thoughtful, individualized support to my students, helping them turn weaknesses into strengths and uncertainty into confidence. Over the years, I have mentored high school, college, and pre-health students through every stage of the application process, with successful acceptances to their dream schools. I have extensive experience editing personal statements, supplemental essays, and secondaries, with a focus on clarity, authenticity, and helping students tell compelling stories that reflect who they are.

I offer support with:
* Application essay writing/editing
* College advising and application strategy (extracurriculars, school selection, timelines)
* Pre-med and medical school advising (AMCAS, gap year planning)
* Interview prep
* Subject tutoring and test prep

In addition to advising, I provide tutoring with a personalized, student-centered approach where no question is left unanswered. My qualifications include passing USMLE Step 1, competitive USMLE Step 2 and MCAT scores, perfect scores in all four ACT sections, and recognition as a National AP Scholar with Distinction.

Please feel free to reach out to learn more or schedule a session—I look forward to working with you!

*If you require financial assistance or are part of QuestBridge, I am happy to discuss flexible pricing options.
