Bio
Alexandria is a senior at Georgetown University studying neurobiology. She has worked on several research projects, including a patent pending diagnostic for genotoxicity, and has served as an editor for the Georgetown Scientific Research Journal. She also volunteers as an emergency medical technician, which has led to her role as an anatomy/physiology instructor for a nationally accredited EMT certification course. Her experiences translate to helping students identify and cultivate the critical thinking skills necessary to break down complicated passages and identify patterns on the MCAT.
As an MCAT tutor, Alexandria focuses on helping students build their self confidence with standardized testing and finding ways to showcase the interconnections of concepts across the MCAT science sections. By teaching replicable strategies and sharing creative memorization techniques, she fosters an environment where students feel confident in approaching content they are unfamiliar with and learning from their mistakes. She also prioritizes helping students strike a balance between MCAT preparation and their personal commitments.
