DAT 24 Scorer | UCLA Dental D1 | Chem, Bio, Math, OChem, Spanish

Lona T.

'm an incoming D1 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Magna Cum Laude graduate from Brown University, and an experienced tutor with 10+ years helping students succeed in science, math, Spanish, and more. In Jun 2024, I scored a 24 AA and 24 TS on my DAT and have been tutoring DAT ever since!

I majored in Hispanic Literature & Culture while completing Pre-Medical Studies, earning the CRC Press Chemistry Achievement Award (top 3 of 180 students). My background includes working as an EMT, Spanish medical interpreter, and peer tutor— these experiences that taught me time management, adaptability, and how to excel under pressure.

My specialties include:

DAT prep (Chemistry, Biology, Math, Organic Chemistry)
Math (Elementary through Calculus)
Science (Biology, Chemistry)
Spanish (all levels)
Writing, editing, and study skills

My approach is simple: I break down complex concepts into clear, fundamental steps, adapt my explanations to each student’s learning style, and consistently check in to ensure understanding. Whether preparing for a high-stakes exam like the DAT or building skills in school subjects, my goal is to make learning less overwhelming and more achievable.

I’ve seen students raise their DAT scores by 3–6 points in weeks, master challenging topics they once feared, and gain the confidence to tackle even the toughest problems.

I create a safe, supportive space where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing. If you’re ready to level up your skills—whether in DAT science sections, Spanish, or math—let’s make a plan and get you results!
