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

My specialty as a tutor is being able to explain topics in different ways and relating it to real-world scenarios. I enjoy helping students work through the coding process because once you get through the basics, it's simpler than it seems.

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?

'Support' resonates with me the most because my goal is to be a helping hand through the class for students so that it becomes easier for them to understand and less stressful. I am more than willing to support them by answering their questions and guiding them through the practice problems.

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

Don't be afraid to be uncomfortable, try new things, and ask for help when you need it! There are so many people on campus who are willing to support you in not just academics, but anything life-related.

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