About me
Hello! My name is Samarth, and I am currently doing clinical research in orthopedics before attending med school in NYC. I studied Public Policy and was also on the pre-med track, so I have a diverse variety of experiences and backgrounds in topic areas. I love to tutor because of my passion for helping those unlock the potential that all students have inside. I also love helping students through the college app process as a way of paying-it-forward for those that helped me.
