Alaina Acchione
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: I play volleyball, and I love to hike.
Tutoring experience: Began in spring 2020
Subjects tutored: Biology, chemistry, and psychology courses
Tutor’s tip: Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Gina Allen
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: I have two cats and two dogs.
Tutoring experience: Began in spring 2020
Subjects tutored: Chemistry courses
Tutor’s tip: Try your best not to save all of your studying for the last minute. Studying early on allows you to ask your professors any questions on material that is still confusing to you. It is also less stressful to try to learn smaller bits of information at a time rather than cramming all at once.
Ben Atkinson
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: When I was little, I got to pet the dolphins at the Ocean Resort.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2020
Subjects tutored: BL*118 Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology; BL*121 Organismal Biology; BL*201 Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity; BL*332 Microbiology; BL*341 Molecular Genetics with Lab; BL*426 Cell Biology; BL*428 Bioterrorism; CH*101 General Chemistry I; CH*102 General Chemistry II; CH*301 Organic Chemistry I; CH*302 Organic Chemistry II; PH*Introductory Physics I with Lab; and PY*101 Introductory Psychology
Tutor’s tip: Each class is different. Spend time finding the most effective study strategy for every class. Just because one strategy worked well in a certain class, it doesn’t mean it will work in others.
Katie Bishop
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: I love hiking and spending time outdoors.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2018
Subjects tutored: MA*252 Calculus II and below and SN*203 Introduction to Reading Literature and below
Tutor’s tip: When students struggle in a particular subject or concept, they often become agitated and believe there is no hope for success. While it can be extremely frustrating to grasp something new, it is important that they give themselves credit. As my coach always told me, “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.”
Jenna Bower
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: I am slightly allergic to apples, but I eat them, anyway.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2018

Subjects tutored: BL*118 Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology, BL*121 Organismal Biology, CH*101 General Chemistry I, and CH*102 General Chemistry II
Tutor’s tip: Stay positive and try not to get overwhelmed. Take each idea or process one step at a time and look at it from the individual pieces instead of getting overwhelmed with an entire unit or chapter. Plan ahead for major assignments whether it’s by organizing your notes a couple days in advance to ease up the studying process or reading over your notes to refresh it in your mind before heavily studying the topic.
Jack Cannon
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: My favorite hobbies are building/flying drones and skiing.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2020
Subjects tutored: 100, 200, and 300-level computer science courses
Tutor’s tip: Don’t wait until the last minute to start an assignment. The earlier you start, the more time you have to process what you’ve learned (or haven’t learned) and ask questions about the assignment.
Sara Coyle
Class year: 2022
Fun fact: I like to collect enamel pins!
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2019
Subjects tutored: BL*118 Cellular and Molecular Biology; BL*121 Organismal Biology; BL*201 Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity; EC*102 Microeconomic Principles; EC*103 Macroeconomic Principles; MA*151 Applied Calculus; MA*251 Calculus I; and MA*252 Calculus II
Tutor’s tip: Try different ways of studying! There is no one set way that works for everyone. Use a variation of study skills to more effectively learn the information.
Sabrina Daglish
Class year: 2021
Fun fact: I play on Loyola’s women’s soccer team.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2019

Tutor’s tip: Doing a little bit of studying a day and pacing yourself will help your test scores (and personal stress/anxiety!) so much more than studying for long periods, cramming, and pulling all-nighters. Keep track of tests and quizzes so you can spread out and maximize your study time beforehand!

Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2020
Subjects tutored: Math and physics courses
Tutor’s tip: Study for quizzes and exams according to your learning style. Studying in a way that allows you to absorb the information best—for example, making flow charts if you are a visual learner or doing example problems if you are a kinesthetic learner—will allow you to retain information more easily and understand the material better.
Giovanni Euresti
Class year: 2023
Fun fact: I enjoy long distance running.
Tutoring experience: Began in fall 2020
