Though still relatively new to the site, I am anything but new to tutoring. I am a 4.0 UCLA pre-med grad (for my second degree) and a Brighter Futures Scholar from New College for my initial degree in English. I am a 98-99th percentile scorer on the MCAT, SAT and ACT.
I never advertise myself as a student's academic superior or 2-dimensional lecturer. I want working with me to be relieving and collaborative, not intimidating. I pride myself on personalizing each and every lesson, which is...

Excellent MCAT CARS Tutor
I had a wonderful time working with Alyssa! She provided me with a clear strategy that worked and left me feeling confident on MCAT test day. She helped me practice applying the strategy, encouraged me when I was unsure, and gave me excellent study tips and resources. I really recommend Alyssa for anyone who is looking to improve their CARS score by multiple points in a short period of time. She made that happen for me!

Organic chemistry tutor
Alyssa has been a life savor as my daughter’s organic chemistry tutor. We are grateful to have found her and will be using her for the remainder of our daughter’s time at college.

knowledgeable and to the point
I have loved working with Alyssa! She’s the guidance I’ve been looking for. Originally I just wanted her help with my personal statement to medical school. When I found out all the knowledge she had about the entire process of getting into medical school I knew she was the person to ask for help. I am so glad I did, she is a 10/10 tutor!

AMAZING MCAT TUTOR
I originally came to Aly for physics but I didn't realize she is a master in all trades and has now helped me in all 4 subjects of the MCAT. She's super relatable, makes concepts phenomenally easy to understand, knows what she's doing, and is willing to meet you where you are. I've learned everything from fundamentals to test taking tips! I used to be scared to approach bio/biochem passages on the MCAT and Aly has made me confidence in my abilities and excited to do practice problems. One of the most relatable people I've met on Wyzant! I cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic Attitude, Genuine and Beyond Qualified
I never write reviews. Not sure why, I guess I’m just never moved to do so. Alyssa brought a unique perspective to our session. Other tutors we’ve used have always seemed to view it as a side hustle. Her focus on the MCAT and the elements of it are all she does. And it shows. I’m truly impressed by her preparation and commitment. I almost want to thank her taking the MCAT twice and not going to Med school.

Excellent Tutor, very knowledgable!
Alyssa is an excellent tutor and definitely knows a lot about the MCAT. During our first lesson, we focused specifically on stoichiometry, periodic table trends, and the significance of subatomic particles. She even assigned some homework before our next lesson and gave me guidance on how to study for the MCAT. She also has first-hand knowledge and experience with the MCAT, which I found to be very helpful as well. I am looking forward to our next lesson!
