Hi! I'm Alina, your friendly neighborhood tutor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I know school is hard, and I'm in school too. I attended undergrad majoring in Biology. I'm studying to become an optometrist (eye doctor)! I am flexible to answer biology, chemistry, physics, etc. questions. I was also in Honors Art in high school and in college. So, when I want to decompress from STEM subjects, I'll be drawing/painting. #STEMmajorsunite!

...My tutoring philosophy is to help students understand fundamental concepts by asking leading questions and approaching the problem from different angles. I also like to figure out what learning style works best for students, and aim to help them in that way. For example, if a student is a visual learner then I would draw diagrams, to explain concepts. If the student is a logical learner, then I would work through and explain practice problems.

I'm an experienced teacher of English literature, history, and the other humanities. I also have extensive experience teaching standardized test prep. My pledge to you is to work with you to better understand whatever it is that is giving you difficulty -- or to maxmize your score on that standardized test.
