MCAT and Medical School Application Tutor

Alaina H.

Hello! My name is Alaina, and I am a second-year medical student passionate about helping students unlock their full academic potential. Over the years, I have navigated a rigorous academic path, graduating from UC Berkeley and mastering the complex strategies needed for high-stakes standardized testing. Whether you are looking to conquer elementary math, ace an AP exam, or tackle the MCAT and medical school admissions process, I am here to guide you with patience, empathy, and tailored strategy.

I offer comprehensive support across a wide range of subjects. Having navigated the medical school application cycle, I specialize in MCAT preparation and crafting compelling personal statements that stand out to admissions committees. Additionally, with eight years of experience working with younger children in academic settings, I am deeply familiar with elementary, middle, and high school math and science curricula.

I am incredibly grateful for the educators, tutors, and mentors who supported me at every step of my journey, instilling in me a lifelong love of learning. My mission is to pay that dedication forward. No matter how intimidating a class might seem at first, the right guidance can make it inspiring. Together, we will build your understanding, sharpen your skills, and cultivate the confidence you need to succeed!

During my tutoring sessions, I strive to create an atmosphere that involves questions asking and clarification. I have 6 years of experience working with younger children in an academic setting and helping them with math and science. I feel prepared and equipped to be a tutor because of this experience and because of my familiarity with elementary, middle, and high school curriculum. My lessons introduce new concepts in an engaging manner, reiterate key concepts that are familiar, and include additional practice to solidify understanding and achieve mastery.
