"Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm currently in my third year at UCLA pursuing a degree in Psychobiology on the pre-med track. I also am pursuing a minor in Neuroscience. Although my degree is in STEM, I spend most of my time writing and reviewing research papers as an editor and writer.

As I graduated from high school in 2020, I am uniquely qualified and sympathetic to current high school students. In high school, I achieved high marks in classes like AP Spanish, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Literature, and AP US History. I personally found that hard work, study habits, and the ability to ask for help were the real keys to success. These methods also apply to standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and college applications. Through my 3 attempts at taking this test, I developed strategies to improve my score to the 99th percentile that I now share with my students!

In regard to college applications, I have assisted many students with essay editing and application building. I personally was admitted to several selective schools including but not limited to UCLA, UW, UIUC, USC, and Boston University. I am very familiar with the Common Application and UC application.

My accomplishments as a tutor span helping students achieve 5’s on APUSH, AP Bio, and AP Chem; improving SAT scores by +200 points, and guiding students to college acceptances to notable universities like UC Davis, UCLA, UT Austin, USC, and more!

My goal is to help students in any way I can! In my experience, lack of knowledge and ability is hardly ever the cause of poor grades or test scores. Teaching style, environment, stress, and lack of resources often are the keystone. My job is to find those areas of improvement and guide them as an advisor and mentor. I look forward to a conversation with both parents and students to develop a cohesive plan to help your student!

I have been tutoring on Wyzant for two years now, with over +250 hours of experience on the site and many more off the platform. Please feel free to reach out for a consultation!" less...
