About Alana

Born and raised in the Bay Area, CA, I have two younger siblings who often served as my first "students." Early on, I discovered a knack for tutoring, guiding peers through the intricate webs of biology and history during my high school years. In addition to my academic endeavors, I embraced the discipline and determination of a track runner, qualities that I believe translate seamlessly into my educational pursuits. I recently graduated from Tulane University with BS degrees in Cell & Molecular Biology and Anthropology, along with a minor in Philosophy, and have just taken the MCAT. I am currently working in research focused on cardiac regeneration, where I also help undergraduate students understand complex biological concepts and lab work. This multidisciplinary background equips me with a holistic understanding, which I believe is paramount in today's interconnected world. My passion for biology and math isn't just confined to textbooks; it's about connecting the dots, finding patterns, and imparting knowledge in unique and individualized ways that resonate with each student. I’ve written high-level biological research papers, which has sharpened both my scientific understanding and my ability to communicate ideas clearly and academically. I also coached a middle school debate team, an experience that strengthened my grasp of rhetoric and structure, skills I bring into my writing support sessions. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn, and as your tutor, I promise professionalism, dedication, and a commitment to your academic success. Excellence in spelling and grammar, combined with my vast academic and practical experience, ensures that you are in capable and caring hands. Let's embark on this journey together!

About the lesson

My lessons are personalized, focused, and low-stress. I help students get better at writing by breaking things down into simple steps. Whether you’re writing essays, working on grammar, or learning how to analyze literature, I meet you where you’re at and help build confidence along the way. I’ve coached debate, studied philosophy and anthropology, and written academic research papers, so I’m comfortable with both creative and structured writing. These lessons are great for middle school through college students who want to strengthen their writing and communication skills, especially in academic settings.
