About Nikhil


Bio

I’m a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington (IUB), where I earned B.S. degrees in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Through my experience as a student, undergraduate teaching assistant (peer tutor/AI), and research mentor, I learned that effective and empowering learning is mostly about HOW you study as opposed to HOW MUCH you study. My best teachers always taught me to focus on solidifying the big picture (high yield) concepts first and add in smaller (low yield) details...

I’m a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington (IUB), where I earned B.S. degrees in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Through my experience as a student, undergraduate teaching assistant (peer tutor/AI), and research mentor, I learned that effective and empowering learning is mostly about HOW you study as opposed to HOW MUCH you study. My best teachers always taught me to focus on solidifying the big picture (high yield) concepts first and add in smaller (low yield) details afterwards. This practice of breaking down complex ideas into fundamental first principles made me understand just how powerful knowledge could be and how it could be used to solve the world’s hardest. This made even the smallest and most tedious of details easy to learn. I applied these same concepts to my students with tremendous success. In the process of learning and teaching, I fell in love with fostering “aha” moments while sharing my most passionate academic interests with others. I want to give all of you the best of the teaching experiences that I was given, as well as include the things that I always wish that I had. While I tutor in almost every subject, I’m most passionate about Spanish and the sciences. Spanish gave me an entirely new culture to explore and people to connect to, while science helped me understand just how incredible our universe can be. Consequently, both are near and dear to my heart.

Shortly after graduating college in 2019, I started the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Indiana University School of Medicine. I am fortunate to be simultaneously working towards my MD and towards a PhD in Neuroscience. I want to use my career to improve our understanding and management of psychiatric conditions as well as to train the next generation of great thinkers and innovators. Outside of academia, I like to compete in Olympic weightlifting, travel, do outdoorsy and adventurous things, listen and dance to hip hop, and spend time with the homies.

I have B.S. degrees in Psychology, Neuroscience and B

Test Preparation

MCAT

MCAT

I am currently enrolled in a competitive MD/PhD program at the IU School of Medicine. To be admitted, I had to achieve a high score (518) on the MCAT. Also, I have provided in person tutoring and study plans to classmates during my undergraduate. Between my first person experience and that of helping my classmates, I can help you get the score you want!

Helpful, thorough and productive session

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nikhil for guidance on my medical school application process, and it was an incredibly valuable session. As a former teacher transitioning to the medical field, I was looking for someone knowledgeable about the intricacies of the application system, and Nikhil exceeded my expectations. We covered a wide range of topics essential for my application, from the AAMC and AACOMAS processes to the specific requirements and timelines. He provided a structured approach for writing my primary personal statement, offering clarity and a comprehensive strategy that made an overwhelming process seem relatively manageable. He was encouraging, thorough, and available for any questions or further assistance I might need. It's clear that Nikhil is not just an ordinary tutor, he's someone who has gone through it and seems to really understand the complex nature of it all. For anyone navigating the medical school application process, I highly recommend him. His knowledge, resources, and personalized advice are invaluable! Thank you Nikhil!

Very Knowledgeable and Efficient!

Nikhil was really efficient in how much we were able to cover during our session. He demonstrated a clear and strong understanding of how the MCAT works and assisted me in formulating a study plan that I'm confident will get my score to where it needs to be.

Great tutor!

Nikhil has been very helpful! He helped me prepare an efficient study plan for the MCAT and put together my med school application. I appreciated that he made time for tutor sessions on short notice. 10/10 highly recommend.

Very Helpful!

Explained all my MCAT passage questions clearly and so that I could understand them and helped to break down tough tables and figures. Now I know how to logically tackle those hard MCAT science passages.

Knowledgeable tutor!

He helped me create a step by step checklist to begin my studies. I feel more on track with my studies and more confident! Definitely will be scheduling another session soon.

One word: Phenomenal!

My meeting with Nikhil was amazing. He was very understanding of my work schedule and was eager to help me be as efficient as possible in my studying. We created a game plan for the next month and worked through some practice questions. Nikhil was extremely patient with all of my questions and is very knowledgeable about the MCAT. I am looking forward to our next meeting. Thank you, Nikhil!!

Very knowledgeable and understanding

I reached out to Nikhil for assistance in planning my MCAT studying and he was able to not only help me create a plan but also answer any question I had about the MCAT process and was very specific about what I needed to do to do my best. I definitely recommend Nikhil for anyone looking for some assistance regarding the MCAT.
