About Lana

Hi! I'm Lana, a UC Santa Barbara graduate with CCS Honors in Mathematics and Computing. I've taught advanced mathematics through Stanford University's Mathematics Camp and Math Circle to several grade levels ranging from 2nd grade to 12th grade, and designed and taught an undergraduate quantum computing course at UCSB. I was also a guest lecturer at Stanford's Math Circle. I enjoy working one-on-one with students and adapting my teaching to their individual needs and learning styles. I'm patient, encouraging, and believe that even difficult subjects can become approachable with the right guidance. My goal is not just to help students improve academically, but to build their confidence, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and to help them become more independent learners. I'm especially passionate about making learning engaging and rewarding for every student I work with.
