Emily

ACT Science Tutor • +11 Subjects

My goal as a tutor is to help you understand material by building a solid foundation on which to expand your knowledge. As a current medical student, I know how frustrating it is to struggle through material-- I hate memorizing things, I found reading textbooks tedious, and I lost interest in things I didn't understand. So, in order to be a successful student and future physician, I developed some great learning tactics that I want to pass on to you!The Game Plan:Since every student is different, I will spend some time getting to know you and your goals so that we can work effectively together. Think of me as your study buddy instead of your tutor! I study with my peers by talking through material while incorporating whiteboards and visual aids (pictures, flow charts, tables, graphs). By starting with broad concepts and narrowing toward high-yield details, we promote deeper and more thorough understanding of the material. Teach-back methods help test understanding, identify areas of weakness, and foster critical thinking. Practice questions reinforce and refresh material, build test taking skills, and promote confidence. Above all, this is about your academic success- so we can (and will) adjust to what fits your needs.About Me:I am a medical student at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. I am originally from the Washington, DC area. I received a BS in Neuroscience from Bucknell University and was a post-bacc researcher at the NIH for 3 years. I have a younger brother who studies marine biology and is a professional photographer on the side. I have a savannah cat named Cleo (after the Egyptian queen).

Avni

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +73 Subjects

I'm a recent graduate of Case Western Reserve University with a B.A. in Biology and Cognitive Science, as well as a minor in French. I'm interested in going back to school for either environmental studies or law, but I still have some deciding to do in that regard! My tutoring experience has been varied, from helping peers with homework, assisting my young nephews and nieces with their reading and writing, to mentoring the younger students at the dance studio I used to attend. These are just some of the ways that I've learned to tutor. My favorite things to tutor are writing and algebra. Both are things that can appear complicated and difficult, but often there is only one stumbling block that a student is having a problem with. Once you isolate the issue, everything becomes simple! My tutoring style is to talk and work through a lot of practice problems together. When the student feels comfortable tackling some practice problems on their own, I know they've mastered the concept. I'm also a great listener; if you tell me that you are having a problem in a certain area of a subject, I can very much tailor the lesson and practice problems to the target area. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time submerged in water! I love windsurfing, scuba diving, and going to the beach. I'm also a huge, huge fan of snow! I ski every chance I get, and lately I've been getting into snowboarding! When I'm just relaxing, I enjoy a good book, a hot mug of tea, and fuzzy blankets.

Brittany Basile

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +7 Subjects

I am a graduate of The United States Institute of Language and Clerical Studies. I received my Bachelor of Doctrines and Methodology of Education with a focus on education. I have a major in Education and I have a minor in Counseling. I also have an Advanced Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (120 Hour Advanced TESOL) from MEU. Since graduation, I have taught well over 400 students of various ages English. Teaching is something that I have been very passionate about ever since I was little. For well over 10 years I have been a volunteer Bible teacher. When I was a teenager, I tutored in-person English, reading, as well as other school subjects in Deposit, NY. After that, I worked for 3 years at a special needs school working one-on-one and in groups with children and teenagers of various abilities helping them with Math, English, Art, and Gym class in Binghamton, NY. All of this training has helped me learn patience, kindness, and fairness. I believe in taking an active interest in my students and treating them as individuals. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring new places. I love going on adventures and making new friends.

I'm very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I'm so excited to help tutor and develop lasting academic skills. I'm passionate about what I know and I'm very passionate about helping others engage in their own academic pursuits. I'm patient and am excited to engage people in topics and ideas and conversations relating to their academic and personal growth! Making lasting connections through learning experiences is the key!As the exclamation points display, I have a very enthusiastic and optimistic personality. I weightlift and read a lot in my free time and have a pretty eclectic music taste. However, I will be the first to admit I'm always a little behind the curve when it comes to new music, so any help in getting caught up is always appreciated.I'm always interested in meeting new people and learn about them and I think being a tutor is a great way to put on display my optimism, help someone, and learn about them at the same time!
