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

I love doing any type of tutoring that involves a work problem where I can have the student work through it so I can see their thought process and then guide as they work through it.

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 is definitely the key that resonates most with me as a tutor because I love having a student come in confused about a topic and then leave being able to explain that topic to me.

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

If you're confused ask questions. If you're still confused ask more.

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