"Hi, I'm Alana! I graduated with honors and distinction from Stanford with a Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering. I am now a PhD student at MIT in Medical Engineering. I really enjoy working with students one-on-one and taking the time to make sure they understand the reasoning behind how something is done, rather than just how to do it. I am very patient, kind, and always prepare in advance for tutoring sessions as well as follow up with extra materials post-session as needed. I always want to find what teaching strategy and approach works best for each individual student and build a lasting tutoring relationship. I have several years of experience tutoring in Biology, Math, Chemistry, and other Science classes. I am also happy to work with you on scientific writing, applying to graduate school, public speaking (I have experience working as a TA for a graduate-level public speaking course), or other topics. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you!" less...
