Amelia: West Chicago tutor
Certified Tutor
My name is Amelia. I'm originally from Massachusetts- I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Chemistry in 2012.
Along with my work at Varsity Tutors, I also currently work as an educator and content writer for online learning platforms. I'm passionate about teaching, engaging with students, and helping them build confidence in their studies and become eager to learn. I'm a big believer in meeting the student where he or she is and going from there. My approach is very student centered and is definitely not a one size fits all approach.
I look forward to meeting you in the classroom!

What is your teaching philosophy?
I think the best way to do this is to give them the skills and confidence that they feel comfortable with. The method for this will vary from student to student, but it really centers on finding what their learning style is and using that to find their strengths.
