Arnav

College Political Science Tutor • +13 Subjects

Hello! My name is Arnav Bajaj and it is my great pleasure to have the opportunity to help you learn and achieve academic success. I recently graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from Carleton College and am very passionate about helping people unlock their potential and achieve their dreams - one of my most rewarding experiences has been my work as an ESL instructor, successfully training multiple classes of students to speak english from scratch in the matter of a few months. Over my years in the formal education system, I have faced and successfully tackled many academic challenges including standardized testing (I achieved perfect or near perfect results on most of the tests I took despite starting with fairly average results on first attempt), developing good study skills, and much more. As a result of my own journey, I know for a fact how much more we are all capable of gaining and doing if we take the time to properly strategize our learning and cultivate confidence in our abilities. I look forward eagerly to helping you do the same and making a tangible difference in both your academic results and your personal learning experience!

Lucia

Elementary School English Tutor • +20 Subjects

I have always loved school and learning. As a younger student, I felt like I was awful at math and reading didn't come easily to me. I had a wonderful teacher and tutor who helped me grow into my full potential, and it turned out I was actually great at math and reading, it was my lack of confidence that held me back.As a tutor, my goal is to help my students grow more confident in their skills and knowledge. I do this by guiding students to the correct answers on problems rather than telling them what to do or what the answer is right away. I believe that students learn best when the teacher is a guide and thus my teaching philosophy relies on guiding the students in the right direction by asking them questions that explore the content.I have just completed a master's in teaching, elementary education. I am passionate about teaching and my favorite subjects to tutor are English and mathematics of any level.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, knitting, movement, and spending time with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical school admissions committees look beyond GPA and MCAT scores—they evaluate your entire profile. Common application weaknesses include a lack of clinical experience, limited shadowing hours, weak personal statements that don't convey genuine motivation, poor interview preparation, and gaps in demonstrating service and leadership. Many applicants also struggle to articulate how their experiences connect to their commitment to medicine. Personalized tutoring for medical school applications helps you identify these gaps early and develop a compelling narrative that sets you apart.

Your personal statement is your chance to tell admissions committees who you are beyond your grades. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you identify authentic stories from your experiences, organize your narrative around a central theme, and revise for clarity and impact. They provide personalized feedback on structure, voice, and how well you convey your passion for medicine while addressing any red flags in your application. Many applicants benefit from multiple revision cycles with expert guidance to ensure every sentence serves your overall story.

A lower GPA or MCAT score doesn't automatically disqualify you, but you'll need to be strategic about your application. Personalized tutoring can help you understand how to address these challenges through your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and demonstrated growth. You might emphasize upward grade trends, strong performance in science courses, clinical experience, or personal circumstances that affected your performance. Tutors experienced with medical school applications know how competitive programs evaluate applications holistically and can help you present the strongest possible case given your academic background.

Most medical schools expect 100+ hours of clinical shadowing or direct patient care experience, though competitive applicants often have 200+ hours. The quality and diversity of experience matter more than the sheer number of hours—meaningful experiences in different specialties and settings demonstrate genuine interest in medicine. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you evaluate what experiences you have, identify gaps, and develop a plan to strengthen your clinical credentials. They can also help you articulate what you learned from these experiences in your personal statement and interviews.

An excellent medical school application tutor has direct experience with the admissions process—ideally as a physician, medical student, or former admissions consultant—and understands what different programs are looking for. They should provide personalized feedback on all application components, help you develop an authentic narrative, and coach you through interviews. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven expertise in helping applicants strengthen their profiles and navigate one of the most competitive processes in higher education. Look for tutors who understand your specific situation and can provide strategic guidance tailored to your goals and target programs.

Medical school interviews assess your communication skills, ability to think ethically about healthcare dilemmas, and fit with the program's values. Preparation involves practicing common questions, developing concise answers to behavioral questions, and preparing thoughtful questions to ask interviewers. A tutor can conduct mock interviews that simulate the actual experience, provide feedback on your responses, and help you handle difficult questions with composure. Personalized interview coaching is especially valuable because it identifies your unique strengths and areas for polish, ensuring you present your authentic self while addressing any nervousness or communication patterns that might undermine your candidacy.

Ideally, you should begin planning your application during your junior year of college, when you can identify gaps in clinical experience and strengthen your overall profile. However, it's never too late to get support—whether you're early in the process or preparing to submit applications, personalized tutoring can improve your competitive position. Many applicants work with tutors starting 6-12 months before their target application cycle to develop a strategic plan, strengthen their personal statement, and prepare for interviews. Getting expert guidance early helps you make intentional choices about activities and experiences that will resonate with admissions committees.
