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

I enjoy helping students build strong signing skills and grow their confidence in conversational practice. 

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?

Growth for sure! My favorite thing to do is help students grow in their learning experience, and watch as the confidence in their skills grow. 

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

Major in something you're truly interested in, not something you think you HAVE to major in. College will be way more fun if you actually enjoy your classes!

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