Current Undergrad, Biology, General Indiana University-Bloomington
  • I am an undergraduate student at Indiana University Bloomington majoring in Biology and minoring in Gender Studies.
  • I find it very important to ask students what their goals are in regards to tutoring and remind them of when they reach those goals.

About Me

Originally, I am from Terre Haute, IN where I received my Academic Honors Diploma and volunteered through the National Honor Society at my high school. Although I do not have any professional tutoring experience, I have taken eight AP courses which have allowed me to understand that it is important to find a study style that suits YOU and not necessarily anyone else. Also, through Varsity tutors, I have been approved to tutor:Algebra one, Geometry, Literature, AP Language and Composition, English, low level Spanish, the HSPT, and both the upper and middle level SSAT and ISEE entrance exams. I also find it essential to discover study/learning methods that best suit students such as visual and audio learning. In my spare time, I love making art. I draw in pencil, colored pencil, and pen and have sold prints and drawings on my Etsy website. Recently, I have started to learn how to make pottery on the ceramic wheel. I also have been trained to volunteer at the Middle Way House and cannot wait to start a position there.

Hobbies & Interests

I love drawing and art in general and have actually started to learn how to make ceramics recently. I also enjoy going to the Humane Society and will begin volunteering with the Middle Way House this winter.

Q&A with Alyssa

I think it is very important to cater to individual student needs. I also believe it is vital to determine what helps a student learn most; for example, visual cues, rewording problems, and other methods. Furthermore, it is important to take feedback from the student and engage the student in the problem solving process. How can you help a student become an independent learner? A student can become an independent learner by working through problems with me first, and then using steps and methods that he/she finds most useful to solve problems alone.
