About Alina


Bio

I achieved a 526 (100th percentile) on the MCAT with balanced section scores of 131/131/132/132, and I've spent the past three years helping pre-medical students reach their own MCAT goals. Beyond MCAT-specific tutoring, I bring over eight years of experience teaching biology, chemistry, and biochemistry at both high school and college levels.

I achieved a 526 (100th percentile) on the MCAT with balanced section scores of 131/131/132/132, and I've spent the past three years helping pre-medical students reach their own MCAT goals. Beyond MCAT-specific tutoring, I bring over eight years of experience teaching biology, chemistry, and biochemistry at both high school and college levels.

I graduated summa cum laude with honors from undergrad, completing a double major in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Women's Studies alongside two minors. I'll be starting medical school this upcoming fall, and my interdisciplinary background gives me a unique perspective on how different ways of thinking can strengthen your approach to the MCAT.

What sets my tutoring apart is my understanding that the MCAT journey isn't just about mastering content, it's an emotionally challenging process that requires strategy, resilience, and personalized support. I have specific experience working with pre-medical students with ADHD and adapting my teaching methods to different learning styles.

My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, build from your strengths, address your specific challenges, and help you not just reach but exceed your goals. Whether you're just starting your MCAT prep, looking to improve a previous score, or need targeted help with particular sections, I'm here to create a supportive, effective learning environment tailored to your unique needs.

MCAT

I scored a 100th percentile score on the MCAT (526), with section scores of 131/131/132/132. I have 3 years of MCAT-specific tutoring experience and 8+ years of science tutoring experience, with students with a wide range of learning styles and goals. One of my strengths as an MCAT tutor is simplifying complex information (content and passage alike) into more manageable pieces, and prioritizing deep conceptual understanding alongside test strategy. I also tailor test and passage strategy to each student's unique needs, backgrounds, and learning styles.

Kind & knowledgeable!

My sessions with Alina have been very helpful! She has given me useful insights on how to review my exams and ways to approach passages. She is very knowledgeable about all the major MCAT topics and will quiz me randomly throughout our sessions. She also relates a lot of the topics and strategies to real life examples which helps with conceptualizing complex topics. My score has gone up several points in the last few weeks that we've been working together, and I'd definitely recommend scheduling with her especially if you've been studying for a while and need a new perspective!

Amazing MCAT tutor!

I had multiple MCAT sessions with her and each one was amazing. She explains concepts very thoroughly and breaks down difficult topics in a way that’s easy to understand. She seems to know everything- like an encyclopedia- and can answer any question with clear explanations. She is patient, supportive, and always makes sure all my questions are answered. After each session, I felt more confident and better prepared. I would highly recommend her to anyone studying for the MCAT. She is a 5/5 and I highly recommend!!
