About Sahana


Bio

Hi! My name is Sahana, and I’m a University of Michigan graduate with over three years of experience tutoring college-level biology and chemistry. I’ve worked with students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, many of whom came in feeling overwhelmed by science coursework, and have helped them master complex topics, develop smarter study habits, and earn the grades they were aiming for.

Hi! My name is Sahana, and I’m a University of Michigan graduate with over three years of experience tutoring college-level biology and chemistry. I’ve worked with students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, many of whom came in feeling overwhelmed by science coursework, and have helped them master complex topics, develop smarter study habits, and earn the grades they were aiming for.

Having taken the MCAT, I also support students preparing for the C/P (Chemical & Physical Foundations) and B/B (Biological & Biochemical Foundations) sections.

Outside of STEM, I’m passionate about writing. I’ve helped students craft college application essays that feel authentic, personal, and well-structured. From brainstorming standout topics to polishing grammar and flow, I work closely with students to tell their stories in ways that admissions readers remember.

I believe in meeting students where they are, using a collaborative and encouraging approach. Whether you're tackling a tough bio class, prepping for the MCAT, or staring down a blinking cursor on your college essay, I'm here to help you feel more confident and capable every step of the way.

Let’s work together to turn your goals into reality.

Approved Subjects

MCAT

MCAT

I hold a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a minor in Biology from the University of Michigan, where I completed rigorous coursework in biochemistry, physiology, organic chemistry, and behavioral sciences—subjects heavily tested on the MCAT. I scored in the 97th percentile on the MCAT, with particular strengths in the Chem/Phys and Psych/Soc sections. Beyond academics, I’ve spent over 200 hours tutoring pre-med students in MCAT-specific content and test strategies, helping multiple students achieve 510+ scores. My background also includes clinical research, shadowing, and volunteer work, which allows me to provide real-world context for many MCAT topics. I emphasize efficient study plans, evidence-based learning techniques, and personalized guidance to support each student’s goals.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have over four years of experience editing personal statements and supplemental essays for both college and medical school applicants. I’ve supported over 100 students through the application process, helping them craft compelling narratives that reflect their unique experiences and goals. Many of my students have been accepted to top-tier institutions, including Ivy League universities and competitive medical schools. My approach focuses on structure, authenticity, and strategic storytelling, ensuring each essay stands out to admissions committees. I’m also happy to provide references upon request.

Patient guider and idea helper

I still remember just a few weeks ago when I kept reading different topics and stories on how to write and edit my personal statement for college apps and each website saying something different. I remember thinking I don’t know what specifically makes me different from everyone else applying. However, somehow I was able to schedule a session with Sahana. Within the first ten minutes of our meeting, she got to know me and my goals and immediately helped me start developing ideas for me to center my personal statement around. She asked me questions that I had never asked myself before and I realized I did do things different from others but I just did not know it yet. And within another 15 minutes, we had more ideas and an overarching essay guideline for an essay I could write. Then after our first session, I immediately wrote it out using the outline I made with Sahana. And within another 24 hours, she got her feedback on my version one to me. And using her exact feedback on what to change and what she thought was good, I felt as if she was guiding me a long exactly in what was needed for a good essay. And pretty soon, after three more versions, I had an amazing personal statement. I would absolutely not have been able to do it without Sahana. She helped me come up with an idea, develop it, write it, and then edit it all. If you ever need essay help for your personal statement, absolutely schedule it with Sahana!!!

Amazing teacher, very understanding

Sahana is an amazing teacher. I came to her eith my MCAT less than a month away freaking out to just make some improvement. And within a few minutes, she was already on track to make me a schedule in terms of how I can improve and what exactly I needed to do. I had never gotten a tutor off of Wyzant before and was really scared but Sahana made the whole process seem easy and put me at ease with her teaching style. And anytime she was teaching me a concept, and I felt like I did not understand she wouldn’t just keep telling me the same thing over and over again. She would work with me until I properly understood everything and then only we would move on to the next topic. For every section of the MCAT, you could tell how knowledgeable Sahana was but to me the most important thing is knowing if someone can properly explain something to me and help me pick the right answer and teach me the skills for me to learn that myself. And she did that and was amazing at it. And now I want to say thanks to Sahana, my score already improved 15 points and I feel much more confident to take my MCAT now!

Amazing Teacher !

Working with Sahana has been such a game-changer for me. She is not just great at editing—she actually taught me how to write better. Her feedback is clear, thoughtful, and always super helpful. I felt like they really cared about my ideas and helped me shape them into strong, well-written essays. She is also super patient and easy to talk to, which made the whole process way less stressful. I’ve learned so much and feel way more confident in my writing thanks to her. Highly recommend!
