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?

Respect resonates with me the most because it is the value that I was raised to value the most. I put this into practice by acknowledging that everyone comes from a different background, and by trying my best to make them feel comfortable no matter their background.

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

I recommend forcing yourself to go out to school events, even if you don't have anyone to go with because you never know who you might meet.

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