Vikki

University of California - BSc Bioengineering

I graduated with honours from UC Berkeley, earning a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering in May 2020. I am currently applying to medical school, thus I am well-equipped to offer guidance on the application process. Although my strengths reside in STEM subjects, I am also keen to assist with reading and writing skills. I possess a thorough understanding of standardised testing and am eager to help students enhance their scores.

Tutoring Experience

I have offered private tutoring for 6 years in the SAT and in various math and science subjects. I then worked for my university’s tutoring center for two years where I tutored various engineering subjects.

I have taught all levels of math including Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I & II), Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra. For science, I have taught materials science, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biology. I have also tutored for the SAT and helped my students raise their scores by 200 points. I also took the MCAT recently, and scored above the 97th percentile. I self-taught myself for the MCAT and am happy to help others prepare for their own medical journeys.

Tutoring Approach

Maths and Sciences: I typically like to review each topic with my students and go over a few example problems before helping with homework or exam preparation. For higher level math, it is more important for me to follow the textbook regimen, but with science, I can provide resources for teaching subjects.

SAT & MCAT: For these standardized tests, it is important to go through a lot of practice problems. With the SAT, there are similar types of questions that we will always see, so I will teach students to recognize these sorts of problems. The MCAT is more knowledge based, so similar to my maths & sciences approach, we will do concept review before practicing with exam questions.

Testimonials

“Vikki was a fantastic SAT tutor, - knowledgeable and a very effective tutor. We were a last-minute booking and crammed tutoring into a week., but Vikki prepared well and structured the sessions to maximise use of time. She was also a very clear communicator. Our son went into the SAT confident and we are hoping for a good result with Vikki’s help. Happy to recommend her. Thanks Vikki!”
