About Shahim

Hi Everyone!
I have experience tutoring college students, Kindergartners, and everyone in between! While in high school, I took 9 AP classes, scoring three 4's and five 5's. The one test I didn't take (AP Chemistry), I ended up majoring in as one of my two majors (Pharmacological Chemistry and Human Biology). This was while going to bed by 8:30/9PM every school night - read: you don't need to study longer, just smarter!! While in college, I kept my nose to the grindstone constantly learning how to be a smarter student - read: more time for sleep, seeing friends, and developing hobbies. My favorite moments were being a TA for Cognitive Science Minds and Brains, where I led a discussion group of 50 students/week and when I was working as a Math/Science/English tutor to a local elementary school.
Of special note to students: 1) I was offered admission to top schools around the country, including Brown, UCLA, Vassar, and UCSD. 2) I scored 518/528 (97th percentile) on the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).
