That depth lets him explain the 'why' behind each concept in ways that stick.

As a recent graduate from Cornell University with a degree in biological sciences and someone who plans to attend medical school in the future, my passion and appreciation for the sciences and medicine is something I consider integral to my identity. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and chemistry as those are the subjects in which I have past teaching experience in the classroom setting. In particular, my teaching style focuses on rephrasing and remodeling initially daunting concepts and information into bite-sized and digestible bits of information that any student can comprehend. I firmly believe that a lot of what slows students down in the learning process is their preconceived notions of course material. My passion for helping students stems from my experiences as an undergraduate where I can remember on countless occasions feeling lost in the material with little direction on how to approach the curriculum. I can think back to the many times I would have benefitted from having someone who could have guided me through stretches of daunting coursework which led me to become a tutor myself. As a teaching assistant, I discovered my passion for helping students manage their way through courses that many considered to be very difficult. Seeing how they reacted to my assistance reminded me why I applied for the position in the first place and motivates me to help students learn more every single day.

The same systematic, step-by-step thinking that makes Rishik effective in computer science — isolating variables, tracing logic, catching errors — is exactly what AP Chemistry's toughest quantitative problems demand, from ICE tables to electrochemical cell calculations. He teaches students to treat unit conversions and dimensional analysis as non-negotiable checkpoints rather than afterthoughts, building the kind of procedural discipline that prevents careless mistakes on exam day.
