Brittany

I am currently a first-year Graduate Student in the Master of Science – Neuroscience program, with a research focus in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am working as a Teaching Assistant in a Cognitive Neuroscience course and volunteering at the Chinook Regional Hospital. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Psychology and Sociology from MacEwan University. Over the past two years, I have been working with children and teens that have Autism Spectrum Disorder as an interventionist and as a program lead. I have also accumulated over 350 volunteer hours at the University of Alberta Hospital and over 100 hours at the Centre for Autism Services Alberta.

I am comfortable tutoring English, Social Studies, Biology and Chemistry up to grade 12. I would only be comfortable tutoring math and physics up to a grade 9 level as this has not been a focus in my university education.

Availability: Very Flexible, I only have 9 hours worth of classes a week.

Willing to travel: 10 miles
