About Rishab


Bio

As a recent Duke University grad with a double major in Computer Science and Biology, I bring a strong interdisciplinary foundation to my tutoring. My academic journey has included intensive coursework in biochemistry, organic chemistry, molecular biology, and physics—core components of the MCAT—complemented by my computational background, which strengthens my problem-solving and analytical teaching style. I scored a 524 on the MCAT (130, 131, 131, 132), a 100th percentile score, 1590 on the...

As a recent Duke University grad with a double major in Computer Science and Biology, I bring a strong interdisciplinary foundation to my tutoring. My academic journey has included intensive coursework in biochemistry, organic chemistry, molecular biology, and physics—core components of the MCAT—complemented by my computational background, which strengthens my problem-solving and analytical teaching style. I scored a 524 on the MCAT (130, 131, 131, 132), a 100th percentile score, 1590 on the SAT, and a 36 on the ACT, and I’m excited to help students navigate the test preparation process for any of the MCAT, SAT, or ACT, or help with any computer science or general science-based subjects with clarity and strategy.

I have previously privately tutored for the SAT and ACT for 4+ years throughout college, and my experience extends beyond the classroom into hands-on research and mentoring. I’ve worked in multiple research labs, resulting in multiple publications, including at Duke’s School of Medicine, where I applied computer science and machine learning to biomedical problems—work that required deep comprehension of MCAT-relevant topics. I’ve also mentored undergraduates and peers through structured review sessions and one-on-one coaching, focusing on both content mastery and test-taking techniques. Whether working with students in college preparing for professional school or high school students building foundational skills, I tailor sessions to individual learning styles, with an emphasis on active recall, spaced repetition, and conceptual reasoning.

Most importantly, I aim to foster confidence and resilience—essential for succeeding on high-stakes exams. Whether you’re aiming to get college admissions/pre-med advice, boost a specific section on an exam, need a comprehensive study plan, or simply need help in a STEM-based subject, I’m here to guide you toward your goals.

College Counseling

As a recent Duke University graduate with a 1590 SAT and 36 ACT, I offer firsthand insight into the college admissions process at top-tier institutions. I’ve mentored students on personal statement writing, activity list strategy, and school selection through both formal programs and one-on-one advising. My experience spans STEM-focused applicants, pre-med paths, and research-driven profiles, with a focus on building authentic, compelling narratives. I aim to help students navigate this process with clarity, confidence, and results.
MCAT

MCAT

I scored a 524 on the MCAT with subscores of 130 in Chem/Phys, 131 in Bio/Biochem, 131 in CARS, and 132 in Psych/Soc. As a recent Duke University graduate in Biology and Computer Science, I bring both deep content knowledge and a strategic, data-driven approach to test prep. I’ve mentored students through every stage of the MCAT journey, from content review and passage breakdowns to full-length exam timing strategies. My tutoring emphasizes active recall, confidence-building, and tailoring sessions to each student’s unique strengths and goals.

Outstanding and Highly Recommended MCAT Tutor.

Rishab is an outstanding MCAT tutor who helped me jump from a 505 to a 512 in just a few weeks. He breaks down CARS passage‐mapping and organic reaction mechanisms with clear diagrams and focused problem sets, never moving on until you master each concept. He also crafted a tailored study schedule, provided extra practice between sessions, and was always available for quick questions. His patient explanations and strategic guidance not only boosted my score but also my confidence - highly recommend!
