Lana

Certified Tutor

I am a pre-med student at Vanderbilt University majoring in Medicine, Health, and Society, and I am also completing a bachelor's degree in Microbiology through online coursework at the University of Florida. I have privately tutored children in Nashville in subjects like English reading and comprehension, and I've helped high school students prepare for the ACT, AP exams, and college admission applications.

While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English language and literature, as well as biology. I also enjoy assisting students with standardized testing and college applications because I went through that process on my own in high school. I know how overwhelming the process can feel, and I'm passionate about sharing what I've learned to help others succeed.

My tutoring style is supportive and student-centered. I aim to build confidence by meeting students where they are and helping them break down complex topics into manageable pieces. I believe learning should feel motivating and tailored to each student's unique needs and goals, which is why I focus on understanding how each student learns best and adapting my approach to fit their style.
