Nihal: Clifton tutor

Certified Tutor

I am currently a fourth-year medical student taking a dedicated research year as I prepare to apply for residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Richmond in 2021 with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

My tutoring experience spans nearly a decade, beginning in high school and continuing through college and medical school. Over the years, I've worked with students of varying ages and learning styles, which has helped me develop a patient, adaptable, and student-centered approach. I aim to create a supportive environment that builds confidence while encouraging curiosity and independent thinking.

While I have tutored across many subjects, I am especially passionate about the sciences and mathematics. I also specialize in preparing students for standardized exams such as the SAT, ACT, MCAT, and USMLE Step 1 and 2. These subjects not only align with my academic strengths but also allow me to help students build foundational skills that are critical to long-term success.

My teaching philosophy is centered on empowering studentshelping them not just to memorize, but to truly understand and apply what they've learned.
