Hello! My name is Avanthika and I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I was later accepted into medical school, where I completed foundational coursework in biomedical sciences. My medical training has strengthened my grasp of complex scientific concepts and refined the active learning strategies I used in my undergraduate education.
During college, I served as a Biology and Ecology preceptor which involved leading review sessions and working with students through one-on-one meetings where I would break down challenging topics. I have also volunteered as a tutor with organizations such as Kumon and CHAT, supporting grade schoolers of all ages in science and writing. My approach focuses on building confidence through reinforcement, adapting to different learning styles, and making difficult subjects feel approachable and engaging.
I strive to offer interactive online sessions that are structured to design improvement in understanding as well as performance on exam material. My goal is to not only help students raise their grades, but to help them feel capable and empowered in subjects that have felt intimidating and overwhelming

Biology

Biology

I served as a Biology and Ecology preceptor during my undergraduate studies where I led review sessions, supported students through one-on-one appointments, and adapted explanations to different learning styles inside and outside of the classroom. This role has strengthened my ability to simplify complex scientific concepts and build student confidence through reassurance. I was later accepted into medical school and have completed foundational coursework in biomedical sciences, including anatomy, microbiology, and pathology. Medical training reinforced my knowledge of active learning strategies that I had began using in my undergraduate education.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have earned in a minor in Chemistry during my undergraduate studies and completed AP Chemistry in high school. I took advanced coursework in general chemistry and biochemistry and obtained A's in both subjects. I have also tutored 10th-grade chemistry students individually, helping them improve their grades gradually by simplifying concepts and reinforming problem-solving strategies. I have further delved into deeper concepts of biochemistry and general chemistry during my medical school education.
Writing

Writing

I have written many essays on nonfiction topics that have been recognized by my writing teachers over the years. My poetry has been entered in competitions and recognized as well. I have helped students improve in writing while volunteering at Kumon for 2 years. I have helped guide and edited many personal statements for undergraduate and graduate students. As someone who has written a personal statement for undergraduate studies and for medical school, I can help craft compelling and authentic personal statements.
