Academic & Test Prep Coach | Math, Science, ACT | Admissions Advising

Karthika V.

Hi! I’m Karthika, a third-year medical student with over 10 years of tutoring and academic coaching experience.
I graduated magna cum laude on a full-ride scholarship with a background in biology and healthcare management, and I scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT, including a perfect score in English. I bring both strong academic expertise and proven test-taking strategies to every session.

Beyond academics, I have experience working in healthcare operations and process improvement, which allows me to help students connect what they’re learning to real-world applications while building critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

I specialize in biology, chemistry, math, and SAT/ACT prep, and I’ve worked with students from elementary school through college. I also provide college and pre-med/medical school advising, including application strategy, essay coaching, and interview preparation.

I have a particular focus on supporting students with ADHD and other neurodivergent learning styles. As someone who has personally navigated these challenges, I understand how overwhelming traditional learning methods can feel. I help students develop personalized study systems, organization strategies, and test-taking approaches that actually work for their brain - leading to improved performance and confidence.

My sessions go beyond tutoring. I focus on teaching students how to learn - building strong study habits, reducing test anxiety, and creating long-term academic success. Many of my students begin to see meaningful improvement in both performance and confidence within just a few weeks.

My approach is supportive, structured, and highly personalized. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, catching up in a class, or planning for college or medical school, I’m here to help you succeed.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I’d love to support you in reaching your academic goals!
