About Alivia

Bio

Hello, I'm Alivia! I started my tutoring experience in high school, where I tutored my peers in English, anatomy/biology, and geometry/algebra. I have always made sure to make tutoring a collaborative and communicative experience, making plans with parents and teachers to better understand and appeal to each students individual needs. I've also always asked my students to be straightforward with me in what does and doesn't work for their learning style, and I adjust accordingly. My main goal...

Hello, I'm Alivia! I started my tutoring experience in high school, where I tutored my peers in English, anatomy/biology, and geometry/algebra. I have always made sure to make tutoring a collaborative and communicative experience, making plans with parents and teachers to better understand and appeal to each students individual needs. I've also always asked my students to be straightforward with me in what does and doesn't work for their learning style, and I adjust accordingly. My main goal is to build trust with my students, so that they feel comfortable to communicate their needs and try new things.

I graduated a year early, and cum laude, from The George Washington University with a major in Cognitive Neuroscience and a minor in Biological Sciences. My coursework had a large focus on anatomy, biology, math, and psychology, centered around understanding the biological processes that occur in our brains as we perform cognitive functions such as memory, paying attention, and learning. During my time at GW, I also participated in the Lab of Autism and Developmental Neuroscience, and the GW Social Cognition Lab. I have extensive experience in research, data collection, and scientific writing.

After receiving my undergrad, I worked in special education and general education classrooms as an instructional assistant. I primarily assist middle school children in special education programs in both math and sciences. My ultimate goal is always to encourage confidence in children and use their unique skills to boost their learning. I'm currently enrolled in the University of Virginia's Master of Teaching program in Special Education, working towards my teaching license with an endorsement in special education.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

My degree in Cognitive Neuroscience involved coursework on neurodiverse individuals, including those with ADHD. In my current role as a middle school special education instructional assistant, I work with many kids with ADHD, providing academic and behavioral help for them in all subject areas. I have grown an understanding of all the different ways ADHD can look and the experiences individuals go through, and I use this to positively impact my teaching and relationships with students.
Anatomy

Anatomy

My undergrad degree in Cognitive Neuroscience led me to take many classes around anatomy, particularly of the brain and nervous system. My courses have given me a deep understanding of how the brain affects all other body systems and the body as a whole.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

My degree in Cognitive Neuroscience involved coursework on neurodiverse individuals, including those with ASD. I also participated in the GW Lab of Autism and Developmental Neuroscience, studying executive functioning and psychopathology in individuals with autism. In my current role as a middle school special education instructional assistant, I work with many kids with autism, providing academic and behavioral help for them in all subject areas. I have grown an understanding of all the different ways autism can look and the experiences individuals go through, and I use this to positively impact my teaching and relationships with students.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

My work as an instructional assistant allows me to work with 6th graders everyday in all subjects, including math 6 and pre-algebra. Through my experience working with 6th graders, I’ve learned how to communicate with them and navigate their learning styles.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

During undergrad, my roles as a Research Assistant in both the GW Lab of Social Cognition and the GW Lab of Autism and Developmental Neuroscience gave me experience in research and paper writing. I conducted extensive research and wrote two network analysis' for a scientific papers authored by my P.I.. I have also organized and written grants on behalf of my labs. In my general coursework, I wrote an average of 2-3 scientific research papers per semester.
Genetics

Genetics

My undergrad degree went extensively into biology, including molecular biology and genetics. A few classes in my coursework (including one called 'Genetics') required a thorough understanding of genetics and their impact on development.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

My B.S. in cognitive neuroscience focused on brain anatomy and neural circuits involved in cognitive processes. My coursework focused on neurodevelopment, biology, neuroanatomy, and psychology. I also was involved in labs during college, doing research on social cognition and behaviors in children, as well as executive functioning and psychopathology in individuals with autism.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I spent my time in undergrad doing research on neurodiverse children through the GW Social Cognition Lab and the GW Lab of Autism and Developmental Neuroscience. I currently work as a middle school special education instructional assistant, providing academic and behavioral help to kids in both SPED and gen-ed classrooms, in all subjects. As well, I'm currently working towards my master's in teaching as a special education teacher at UVA.
