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?

Pizzazz,  because tutoring should feel less like a lecture and more like solving problems together with a friend. We aren't your teachers nor your boss, we're just people trying to help, and we love what we do :)

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

Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. Whether it be academic problems, personal life problems, mental health problems, etc. You are never truly alone, and you will never be judged for getting the help you deserve.
