Dr. Kesani earned an MD from Indiana University School of Medicine after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in computational biology and finance from Washington University in St. Louis. With 10 years of tutoring experience, she has helped students from diverse academic backgrounds achieve an average MCAT score increase of 10 points, with some scoring as high as 523.
Throughout college and medical school, Dr. Kesani received multiple recognitions and scholarships, including being named to the Dean's List and receiving the Peter V. Westhaysen Medical and Olin Scholars in Business Scholarships. She has also contributed to scientific literature through her work surrounding airway management in pediatric patients, published in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology.
Dr. Kesani’s academic journey began at WashU, where she pursued majors in computational biology and finance. There, she developed a deep understanding of data-driven problem solving, pattern recognition, and analytical reasoning—skills that translate to success on the MCAT. Throughout her education, she developed a strength in breaking down complex scientific concepts into clear, intuitive frameworks for learners. Dr. Kesani has worked with learners from a wide range of academic backgrounds, including those preparing for competitive scores and students seeking to reinforce foundational content. She has served as a teaching assistant for multiple courses, taught an MCAT preparation course at the Center for Teaching and Learning at WashU, and provided one‑on‑one tutoring focused on content mastery, test‑taking strategy, and confidence building under pressure.
Dr. Kesani’s strengths as a tutor lie in her clarity, adaptability, and ability to quickly identify where a student is getting stuck and why. She excels at distinguishing knowledge gaps from reasoning errors and tailoring her instruction accordingly. Her sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing students to focus on their highest‑impact weaknesses while steadily building endurance and test‑day confidence. Dr. Kesani’s approach to MCAT tutoring is highly individualized and strategy‑driven. Rather than relying on rote memorization, she emphasizes understanding underlying mechanisms, recognizing patterns across question types, and developing a repeatable, efficient approach to passages—her perfect CARS score is a testament to this method’s success. She works closely with students to build realistic study plans and refine timing strategies so they can think like the test writers.
Dr. Kesani is passionate about mentorship because she understands firsthand how challenging and high‑stakes the MCAT can feel. She believes that strong guidance can transform not only scores but also students’ confidence and long‑term success in medicine. She is committed to supporting students who feel overwhelmed or unsure how to structure their preparation.
