What Students Say

Bio

Alexandria is an MD/PhD student at UCSF (University of California, San Fransisco School of Medicine) with an interest in the intersection of bioengineering and oncology. She graduated from Georgetown University with a bachelor of science degree in neurobiology where she worked in an oncology lab developing a patent pending diagnostic for genotoxicity and volunteered as an emergency medical technician at Georgetown EMS. In addition to her clinical duties as an EMT, she volunteered 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.
