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 walk through step by step helping them figure out how or why they got stuck on coding their graph with a dataset (social statistics). 

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 think support resonates with me the most. I think that I will put this into practice during my time as a tutor through that I totally understand how social stats is not easy and it takes a lot of practice and trial and error. My role is to support and walk through the difficult moments and try to explain the errors to the best of my abilities. 

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

Use an assignment tracker like Notion where you can categorize and filter your assignments by weeks! Have dedicated, specific time blocks where you just get stuff done and DO NOT WAIT TIL SUNDAY. 

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