Personal Statement

Hello, my name is Arunima and I am an MD student at the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I have 9 years of experience with science and writing tutoring and have worked with more than 200 students.

My goal is to help all my students succeed in premedical coursework, on the MCAT, and in the medical admissions process. I tutor in all premedical science subjects, medical coursework, and in writing/proofreading. I also create individualized study sc...

Arunima worked with me in preparation to take the MCAT. I only found her about a month out, but I wish it was earlier. She is very knowledgeable and great at breaking down complex topics. I really appreciated that she tried to understand my way of thinking so she could explain everything in a way that made sense to me. Thanks again! :)

Arunima has everything you want in a tutor. She is confident and knows how to direct you to your goals. She is able to see what you want and need and will work to accommodate that. As someone who is studying on their own and works a full time job, having her as a tutor is a super helpful tool to keep me accountable and obviously to help understand tough material.

I'm thankful for Arunima's help with the MCAT because she's helped me correct my past mistakes and created a thorough and well thought out plan. She's clearly knowledgeable in all sections of the MCAT and extremely patient when it comes to teaching. Having her breakdown complex topics so seamlessly has been extremely beneficial, making me feel more comfortable with the material.

Arunima has been and provided exactly what I needed for my second time studying for the MCAT. She is so flexible with my wild schedule, and patient with me during sessions and works to make sure I?m getting what I need out of each session. In regard to the MCAT, she is very knowledgeable about each subject and section, working with me on both content and strategy. I needed help making myself a schedule I could stick to, and she broke down an incredible guide for me to follow to make my own schedule, and made sure I was using the best study materials for each section. Arunima has been supportive and truly aims to build your confidence as a test-taker, which has been so helpful for me personally. Also she?s about the nicest and most understanding person, which is always good to have when going through any type of test prep. Thank you Arunima!

I reached out to Arunima in a little bit of a frenzy--I had tons of MCAT resources and was doing a lot of practice problems but wasn't sure what to prioritize or how to stay organized. At our first meeting, Arunima asked me about what I had already done to review, what my target score was, and my test date. She then crafted a schedule of exactly what I should be studying and how I should be studying (including what resources to use) every week leading up to my test date. This was key in helping build a systematic way of both tackling the large scope of the MCAT content and continued passage practice. Along with building my schedule, Arunima also worked with me on a weekly basis to tackle science passages--showing me specific strategies to help me understand figures and summarize experiments. I am really grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with Arunima through most of my MCAT studies and would highly recommend others who are planning to take the MCAT (at any point of their timeline) to reach out to her for guidance. She really is that great! Thanks so much, Arunima.

Arunima has been very patient working with me trying to figure out where I?m struggling with the CARS section of the MCAT and providing various solutions that can help me improve my score.
- Smita S. from San Carlos, CA
Arunima has helped me learn and see the MCAT in the way that other tutors that I have tried out, did not give me. She is very patient with my learning and tries her best to go over everything with me in detail. She is also very supportive and understanding if I don't understand something. I would highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for an MCAT tutor! She definitely allows students to visually see and learn how to break down the MCAT the way it is supposed to be done! Thank you, Arunima.
- Max Y. from Northbrook, IL
I had my first official lesson with Arunima in preparation for the CARS section of the MCAT, and although it took us an hour to go through one passage, the time spent was extremely valuable. Arunima is very patient, and provided new ways of how to approach the passage and subsequent questions that I had never considered. I look forward to our future sessions.
- Akua A. from Crofton, MD
Arunima is so helpful in communicating clear and concise tips and information! Even in our first session, I was able to figure out what I needed to work on and how to execute practice and improvement.
- Christopher L. from Rockville, MD
Arunima has been a wonderful resource and supporter! She is prepared for every lesson and takes the time to answer any and all questions I have. Her efficiency not only speaks to the amount of experience she has tutoring, but also how much she respects her students. She has provided me with great resources to study for the MCAT, checks in with me every week, and is always flexible about figuring out what works best for me. She takes the time to thoroughly explain material and walks through strategies that are the most helpful when taking the MCAT. Working with Arunima has been the best decision I have made when it came to approaching my MCAT retake, I highly recommend her to anyone taking or retaking the MCAT!
- Shivani G. from Philadelphia, PA
Arunima is seriously the best. She is so patient and so knowledgeable and helped me SO much. She's probably the smartest person I've ever met and she's also so kind. She has tricks for helping you remember important info and explains everything in a way that makes so much sense. If you need help, go to Arunima. She's AMAZING.
- Carson P. from Williamsburg, VA
Arunima has many qualities that qualify her as a really efficient tutor. She is capable of ensuring that her students know how to solve a problem that the MCAT may ask. She preps for her lessons by reviewing any materials that you want to review before the session. I believe it is her ability to understand and explain the concepts present in the exam that makes her such a great tutor. She is fully invested in her students and wastes no time during lessons. I look forward to continue studying with Arunima!
- Nancy N. from Costa Mesa, CA
Arunima was very thorough in her instruction of my daughter. She gave a detailed study plan and provided her a list of good reference books in her quest to study for the MCAT. I highly recommend Arunima's tutoring services.
- Kimberly B. from Stockbridge, GA
I?ve had 3 lessons with Arunima and each one has been beyond helpful. The first one dealt with coming up with an extensive plan to achieve my dream score on the MCAT. She was very prepared and so organized; I was very impressed. The other 2 lessons were content review. She explained the subjects I had problems with so wonderfully; it made sense the first time she explained it. Things I learned in undergrad made more sense after she explained them; everything just clicked. I didn?t feel like I wasted anytime working with her. Every single minute was planned out thoroughly. Not only is she super kind, she?s also patient and willing to to explain concepts multiple times until you get it. I only wish I found her sooner than I did!
- Beth W. from Tifton, GA
She helps you identify what are your weaknesses. She goes through the passages and discusses her way of approaching the passages and her strategies. She is professional and makes you feel more assured.
- Ariela K. from Encino, CA
Arunima was very passionate and thorough while helping my daughter in Science, with helpful suggestions on different variations in note taking, etc while walking my daughter through each topic line by line (which is exactly what my daughter needed to learn!). My daughter used to dread studying Science and now, after only one lesson from Arunima, she feels very comfortable studying on her own. I was looking for a tutor who could show my daughter how to study Science on her own and Arunima accomplished this goal in a single 30 minutes lesson! I can?t believe my good fortune in having found this brilliant young lady on Wyzant! Thank you very much, Arunima.
- Shareen B. from Roanoke, VA
I was looking to work with someone who was organized and could explain topics in a way that was simple and manageable. I was also looking for someone to hold me accountable and to do it often. Arunima did not disappoint. She?s incredibly efficient because she is so well organized. I swear it seemed like every minute of our session was diligently planned out well in advanced. She takes her role very seriously. She?s not just an educator, she?s your personal advisor as well. It always seemed like she has insider knowledge on how to do really well, insight you couldn?t get from a textbook alone. She is your secret weapon if you want to succeed. Arunima is a true gem!
- Tom A. from Sewell, NJ
Arunima was very knowledgeable, patient, and prepared. For our first lesson we reviewed basic genetics concepts in preparation for my final exam. She was very helpful and thorough with the concepts.
- Covir S. from District Heights, MD
Arunima was a very knowledgeable and helpful tutor. She has a structured and thorough approach to guiding students. Extremely helpful! Would definitely recommend.
- Lauren D. from Greensboro, NC
Arunima helped organize an efficient study plan for my upcoming mcat. We discussed new study habits, mental health in order to achieve my mcat goal. Very encouraging and I am looking forward to working with her.
