He also participated in policymaking affecting more than 6,000 students. 

As a tutor, Satjit is committed to strengthening students’ test-taking strategies and improving their confidence, particularly in the Bio/Biochem and CARS sections. His approach focuses on meeting students where they are, identifying the source of their challenges, and tailoring explanations so that difficult concepts feel more manageable. Satjit is calm and encouraging in every session. He understands that MCAT prep can feel overwhelming, especially when students are balancing content review, passage strategy, timing, practice exams, and self-doubt. His goal is to help students feel more confident and proficient on the MCAT by turning overwhelming material into clear, practical strategies they can use consistently.

Satjit is passionate about paying forward the mentorship he has received and helping students build the skills, structure, and confidence they need to approach the MCAT with a stronger sense of control.
