Bio

Hi, I'm Lena! I'm a graduate and President's Scholar of the University of Maryland, College Park with a B.S. in Neurobiology and Physiology and a minor in Middle East Studies. One of my favorite things to do in college was write my own essays and help my colleagues with theirs, particularly for my friends who were also in STEM majors and felt that the hard sciences were more of their forte. After college, I pursued a Master's in Public Health at Columbia University, and although I am a...

Hi, I'm Lena! I'm a graduate and President's Scholar of the University of Maryland, College Park with a B.S. in Neurobiology and Physiology and a minor in Middle East Studies. One of my favorite things to do in college was write my own essays and help my colleagues with theirs, particularly for my friends who were also in STEM majors and felt that the hard sciences were more of their forte. After college, I pursued a Master's in Public Health at Columbia University, and although I am a graduate of the department of Epidemiology, I also thoroughly enjoyed the composition of my graduate-level essays and eventually my Master's thesis on dermatological conditions in American child populations.

I have always enjoyed helping medical and science students enjoy English composition and find their talents in a field that they don't normally dedicate much of their time to. As a current medical student (MD) at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, I completely understand the hesitation that comes with English courses and I would be happy to help you navigate the field of the humanities!

As your English tutor, I will help you approach essay-writing in the simplest way possible, which will in turn help you produce the best quality papers for your courses. I have worked extensively with students who are on a time crunch and are struggling to meet deadlines, and my flexible schedule, quick response time, and efficient methods of teaching will allow us to satisfy these requirements together.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to talk more about your goals!

Approved Subjects

Arabic

Arabic

My parents (along with every member of my family aside from my siblings and I) were both born and raised in Syria, so I have been speaking Arabic since a very young age and am very familiar with the language. I am especially strong in reading and writing the language, particularly after expanding my skills through independent practice of Arabic writing in my adult years. I am excited and able to help students with learning to read and write the language, as well as develop an understanding and ability to speak conversational Arabic and grasp the accent of native speakers.
Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I graduated earlier this year with a 4.05 GPA from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, one of the nation's leading public health programs, with a Master's in Public Health centered on chronic disease epidemiology and biostatistical methods. My Master's thesis, centering on socioemotional outcomes of children with atopic eczema, was accepted and presented in the New York City Epidemiology Forum the summer after my graduation. After maintaining a perfect GPA throughout this rigorous coursework, I have established a thorough understanding of the epidemiological and biostatistical foundations of research which I am now carrying into my medical school research and would love to share with students!
MCAT

MCAT

I am currently an MD student who scored in the 80th percentile on the MCAT on my first attempt of the exam in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. I took and excelled at the original length exam following about 350 hours of self-study, and I would be thrilled to share what I learned and help tutor pre-medical students and guide them on this journey!
