Extremely Helpful
Alana was extremely helpful to my daughter who was taking a H.S. senior Psychology final as well as the A.P. Psychology exam. She was not confident with the material prior to the tests but Alana worked with her on the material and her confidence. She was the perfect tutor for my daughter!

Very Knowledgeable Tutor
Alana has helped me study cognitive science. This is my first semester taking a class on this subject and she has been a tremendous help. She is extremely knowledgeable in the subject and simplifies many complex topics so I can better understand them. So far I'm doing very well in class and have a great understanding of the material. She also has a flexible schedule so if I have a busy week, we always are able to find time to work. I would recommend her to everyone.

Amazing Tutor! Helped me a ton!
Excellent explanations of concepts in Neurobiology, review questions and more. Explained things that previously made no sense until they felt trivial! Great tutor, cannot recommend enough!

Great tutor!
Alana really help me during my job hunt. I had so many barriers to applying and we worked together to get rid of them. She helped with cover letters and interview- both of which was very helpful. I had a good experience and recommend Alana to others for career development.

Knowledgeable, patient, professional and focused on results!
Alana has been awesome. We came to her after my son performed poorly on two college level psychology tests. She was able to assess his abilities and develop a plan forward after just one session. With only a week to prepare for a third and critical test, she got my son up to speed fast by simplifying complex concepts and providing excellent study tips. She was also very easy to work with and my son had nothing but positive things to say about her approach. We were ecstatic when he received a B on the test!!!

Knowledgable and down to business
I am in a masters program in psychology and I needed help with a research proposal. I had asked my instructor, but there was still something I was missing. Alana cleared it all up for me and added better understanding of research on top of my original issue as well. I learned more in our hour together than I had so far in this class. She gets right down to business and is conscious of the students time while still giving a thorough explanation and needed help. I am looking forward to working with her again on the next part of the proposal.
