What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?

I believe my specialty as a tutor is encouraging my student to try different solutions for a problem. 

Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?

I resonate most with support. I feel like I can do better when I know others support me, so I want to give that same feeling to my students. 

What is your best advice for students on how to get the most out of their academic experience in college?

Ask questions, even if you think they're "dumb." If you genuinely don't know, it's always better to ask and double-check so you can feel confident. That also means do not be afraid to reach out to professors if you need any help or clarification. They're there to help you pass!!!

Give us a movie quotation, song lyric, or line from a book that will motivate us in our learning.
