I am a second-year graduate student working toward my MPA (Masters of
Professional Accountancy) and plan on graduating in May 2012. I have a Bachelor's
Degree in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon
graduating, I plan on sitting for the CPA and moving to Chicago to pursue
a career in private or public accounting. I am looking forward to this tutoring
experience because I have benefited greatly from having my peers assist
me in understanding the difficult material presented in my accounting courses.
In addition, by having a peer review my writing compositions, I have learned
how to sharpen my writing communication skills. Outside of class, I am a
member of Beta Alpha Psi, and I like to play volleyball and piano. I am
here to help you, so please feel free to come and talk to me!

My name is Amy, and I am a non-traditional transfer student. I attended
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for 3 years before transferring to
UW-Whitewater. In Milwaukee, I majored in Community Education and interned
at Pathfinders Youth Shelter. I am a now a super-senior at UW-Whitewater
with a major in Secondary English Writing Education, and minor in Sociology.
I plan on going to graduate school for Alternative Education, or Sociology.
My educational focus has, and always will be, working with at-risk students,
non-traditional students, and otherwise marginalized students. I love teaching
and view it as a calling rather than a career choice. I am also a firm believer
in the philosophy that teachers learn as much from their students as students
learn from their teachers: learning is symbiotic. I look forward to working
with my peers and fellow scholars.

I grew up in Los Angeles, California, but I graduated high school from
McFarland, Wisconsin (right outside of Madison). I went to MATC Madison
and then transferred to Whitewater last year to further my goal of being
a high school math teacher. I really enjoy helping people with math because
I like to see people succeed at things they were struggling with. I have
tutored before, but I have not here at Whitewater. I am excited to start
helping people understand math. In my free time I enjoy many sports including
soccer, golf, basketball, football, and ultimate Frisbee. |

I am a second-year graduate student in the Counselor Education Department.
I originally graduated from UW-Whitewater in 2004 with a degree in Political
Science. I completed a second degree in Psychology last year after serving
six years as an intelligence analyst in the US Army and WI Army National
Guard. After completing my masters, I would like to work as a marriage and
family therapist and licensed professional counselor. My daughter, Lucy,
is four and attends the Children's Center on campus. When she gets a little
older, I plan on earning a Ph. D in psychology and working on research that
benefits military service members, veterans, and their families. I will
never be complete in my quest for knowledge, as there is always something
more to learn. I believe that academic success is having the tools and knowledge
to accomplish set goals in any course. A student who comprehends writing
style and content, has effective study skills, and knows where to access
resources can be successful in any endeavor. I am here to help anyone who
has questions about APA style. It can be tricky to learn at first if you
are used to writing in MLA or Chicago style, but I will help every step
of the way. I am available to assist with a specific writing assignment
or to answer general questions. In my free time I enjoy bike riding, yoga,
volleyball, cooking, softball, and am learning how to play racquetball.

Caitlin
Spanish
|
 |
My name is Caitlin, and I am a senior double majoring in Spanish and
International Studies with a minor in Marketing. I love Spanish, both the
language and the culture. I have studied abroad in Spanish countries three
times, which has greatly improved my conversational skills as well as giving
me a greater understanding and appreciation of the language and the culture.
As a senior in high school, I studied in Argentina. Being an "A" student
in high school Spanish, I thought it would be easy. It was challenging to
say the least, but I returned to the U.S. and could converse well in Spanish.
A four-week winter term in Mexico, followed by a six-month study in Chile
during my sophomore year strengthened my grammar and conversational skills.
I am enrolled in Spanish conversation class this semester, and plan on studying
Spanish for Business next semester. This will be my first time tutoring
people other than friends. I am friendly and patient, have an extensive
knowledge of Spanish grammar and composition and am passionate about the
Spanish language. I will share my knowledge of Spanish, listen to your needs,
make suggestions and improvements on your study methods and hopefully make
Spanish fun to learn! |

Hi! My name is Cherie, and I'm a freshman English major with a Psychology minor. This is my first ever experience with tutoring, but I have always loved to read and write, especially creative writing. During my senior year of high school I was very fortunate to have a short story that I had written published online.

I would eventually like to teach high school Literature and writing classes,

have an interest in creative writing, though I would like to meet with other
writers to add clarity to my work. |

perfect teaching methods before I actually get the opportunity to teach,
and really fits what I love to do. Hopefully I will get a chance to see
you spring 2010 at the tutoring center! |
Craig
Math
|
 |
Greetings! My name is Craig; I’m a senior at the University. My chosen major is (pure) mathematics; my minor is psychology.
My affinity for mathematics dates to my youth. Indeed, I very much enjoyed its study whilst in primary and secondary school. When I entered university, however, I abandoned this, my first intellectual love -- and was repaid with misery. I’ve since recommitted myself to it -- a revenant lover, if you will -- and have been all the happier. Indeed, the study of mathematics has benefitted me both intellectually -- its content has been a source of mental challenge, excitement, and nourishment -- and personally. Re the latter: I tutored mathematics this past academic year, both at Milwaukee Area Technical College, and at this University. (I was deeply honored to do so.) In that capacity, I cultivated many productive and warm relationships, especially with my tutees. I believe that all parties were improved as a result. To conclude: I’m eager to assume the responsibilities of this tutorship. By doing so, I hope to continue in service to this wonderful community -- thereby improving it, and myself. |

Eugene

Hello! My name is Eugene Nagawiecki. I am a senior at UW-Whitewater. I am originally from the small town of Wauconda, Illinois – which is about 50 miles Northwest of Chicago. I am a History BSE major with psychology as my minor and Political Science as sort of an emphasis. I hope to eventually move on to graduate school to study Education. My main goal after graduation, however, is to get a classroom of my own and teach high school students the wonders of history, psychology, and political science. I absolute love history, psychology, political science, and education, and cannot wait to share my passion with students. History has also been my favorite subject in school. Something about the past has always intrigued me. I have taken many history classes throughout my college career at Whitewater including The Civil War and Reconstruction; American History 1919-1945 Depression, Prosperity, and War; Historical Methods; and History 499 Senior seminar. I was even fortunate enough to spend a semester abroad studying at the historic and prestigious Jagiellonian University in the beautiful city of Krakow, Poland. While there I took classes such as Holocaust and its Cultural Meaning, Eastern Europe 16-18th century, and the Cold War. As an amateur historian I have become proficient in the skills of writing. Particularly in formulating strong theses; incorporate ample, pertinent, reputable evidence; and being clear, concise, and critical in writing. I hope to use these skills to help students in writing their own papers, and teach them to effectively use such skills themselves. I look forward to the tutoring process as it will not only benefit students and help them grow, but it will also be an invaluable experience to improve my own writing abilities. Apart from history and teaching I love to travel, play sports (particularly soccer and football), play guitar, draw, and practice my Polish. Feel free to email me anytime and attend tutoring and S.I. session at the Academic Support Center! |

Hello. My name is Hanaka. I am an International student from Japan.
I am a freshman majoring in Elementary Education. I came to America as an
exchange student for one year when I was in 11th grade. During the exchange
year, I saw the differences between the American and Japanese education
systems, and this made me interested in teaching. I liked the way students
were educated in America, so that is why I came back to America to study
to be a teacher. This is my first time being a tutor, but I believe that
I will enjoy it, and it will be a great opportunity to practice teaching
for my future. I am looking forward to help students who are taking Japanese
classes, and I feel I can help them improve their knowledge and understanding
of the language. |

Hello, my name is Katie, and I am from Beaver Dam, WI. I am going to
be a sophomore here on campus and I have a Math Education major with an
Actuarial Mathematics emphasis. I hope to one day become a high school math
teacher, and perhaps even teach at a college. I will be a new supplemental
instructor here on campus, and I am very excited about it. I love helping
others, especially with math. It is a subject many people struggle with,
and helping someone understand it is very fulfilling for me. I am very hardworking
and determined to do the best that I can to achieve my goals. |
Kayla
History

I am sophomore in my first year here at UW-Whitewater. I am originally
from Colorado but graduated from Mayville, WI. I am a transfer student from
not one, but two different colleges (UW-Washington County and MATC-Madison)
and this is my third year of college experience. I commute from Janesville
and work at a skilled nursing facility right here in Whitewater. After many
changes for my major and some long soul searching, I am ready to fulfill
my dream of becoming a high school educator specializing in history, but
my interests vary across the board: writing/reading, art, music, psychology,
and ethnic studies. In hopes of achieving my career goal, I am now helping
students through tutoring and SI services. This, along with my college experience
here at Whitewater, will provide me with ample experience in aiding and
educating others. I consider myself extremely friendly, fun-loving, laid
back, helpful person who wants to see others succeed at achieving their
own dreams. |

Hello! My name is Kayla, and I am a senior with a double major in Social Work and Sociology. I am originally from the Milwaukee area and believe the best time you can spend during the summer is in Milwaukee!

I work multiple jobs, but my schedule is flexible, so I am able to meet with students at various times throughout the week. I am very friendly and have a great work ethic. I am also easy to get a hold of at any time of the day. I am best reached through email and will respond in a timely manner.

Malissa

 |
Hello! My name is Malissa, and I am a senior this year at the University
of Wisconsin-Whitewater majoring in Sociology with an emphasis in Race and
Ethnic Relations and a minor in Urban/Area Development. I am currently applying
to a variety of graduate school programs seeking a Masters Degree in Urban/Area
Development with an emphasis on Community and Economic Development. My goal
is to one day soon work in inner-city communities helping them to develop
economically and socially. I have taken a broad range of classes within
the Sociology department as well as outside the department. I am well versed
in sociological theories, criminology, urban sociology, basic methods and
principles, health and illness, and specialize in race and ethnic relations.
Outside of the Sociology department I have taken multiple economic classes,
business law, public policy, and mathematics, all of which can be directly
applied to some topic within the Sociology department. I am currently working
on an interdisciplinary research project combining economics, issues with
race and education, housing practices, and business law looking at racial
segregation along with the spatial mismatch of jobs and its overall effects
on education. On a personal level I am a very easy person to talk to and
will always be willing to help. I am involved in many leadership positions
on campus including Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, McNair, and the Black Student
Union. I have a lot of in-depth knowledge about many topics due to my love
of the Discovery, National Geographic, and History channels. It is a personal
goal of mine to advance in my academic career and bringing up with me as
many people as possible. |

Megan
Math and Writing
|
 |
My name is Megan, and I have a BA from UW-Madison in English with a Creative Writing emphasis. This is my second year at UW-Whitewater, and I am working toward a second undergraduate degree in math with a music minor. During my time at Madison, I changed my major no less than five times; I studied everything from chemistry to flute performance to physics to Russian literature, and more - you name it! It may have taken a while, but I finally realized math is my true calling, and I hope to go to grad school soon. Along the way, I managed to pick up a degree in English and am excited to have the opportunity to help my Whitewater classmates with both writing and math. After graduating from Madison, I spent a few years as a receptionist at an eye clinic, which has shown me there is always more than one way to approach a problem. This outside-the-box thinking is especially helpful on those stubborn math problems or the great ideas you can't quite work out on paper. That job also cured my shyness to the degree that I now am so approachable, people at the grocery store often ask me where to find things (and I don't even work there). So don't hesitate to say hi - I will be more than happy to help you with your math, review your research paper, or even critique your original fiction/poetry, if you want! |

Student Undergraduate Research Organization. The topic that I am currently
researching is how Minnesotas public school choice program affects student
performance. I plan on presenting my paper at conferences here in the Midwest

worked closely with a few people to help them, and myself, better understand
the material. This is my first semester tutoring and I am very excited to
help people understand what I enjoy doing.
