Hello, my name is Abigail, but feel free to call me Abby. I am a sophomore
here at UW- Whitewater. I am currently majoring in Interpersonal Communication
with Advertising minor. I plan on graduating in the spring of 2014. In the
future I want to work in sales and advertising and hopefully own a private
business. I look forward to being a tutor because I love helping people
and it just happens that I am good at math. I hope to use my communication
skills to further my experience in helping students and, in turn, learn
how to be a better communicator. I believe it is important to help others,
and I can't wait to start tutoring. In my free time I love watching funny
movies, sleeping, playing intramural softball and volunteering. Overall
I am very outgoing and love talking to people, so don't be anxious to ask
me anything.

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 Alyssa, and I am studying accounting and Spanish. I love accounting and anything related to business or culture. Last summer I traveled to Puntarenas, Costa Rica with Study Abroad and it was a life-changing experience. After I graduate in spring 2015, I plan to work in private accounting for 2-3 years before opening my own business. I enjoy meeting, working with, and learning about people who are different from me. I am also Safe Zone certified, which means that you can talk with me free of judgment for any reason. I understand that accounting and economics are difficult courses, but I promise to share my enthusiasm and strive to make them a fun and positive learning experience for you!

 |
My name is Amanda King. I graduated high school in 2002. I've worked several different jobs including serving tables, being a mental health tech in psych facility and an endoscopy technician at Mercy hospital in Janesville, WI. I am a returning student, so I know what it's like to have to work really hard to understand concepts. I originally went to nursing school, but a couple of physicians I worked with inspired me to start a different path. I'm premed and a biology major here at Whitewater, and although it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, I have found it to be incredibly rewarding. When I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the work that comes along with college, I remind myself that there are girls around the world that wish they could be getting an amazing education. This helps me feel grateful for being where I am and to be doing what I'm doing. I hope to pass this feeling on to other students that come to me for help in chemistry or biology. I know that anything is possible, it may just take a lot of hard work.

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.

I am currently a senior here at UW-Whitewater pursuing dual degrees in Pure Mathematics and Electronic Media. I have a strong background in mathematics and various aspects of computer science. I also work on campus in the computer labs, so I know first-hand how to help students who struggle with technology and enjoy watching them accomplish their goals. Many concepts in both math and computer science can seem complicated, but with both perseverance and assistance, I believe anyone can succeed. Sometimes all it takes is another person's point of view.

Caitlin Carini
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! |

Craig Snider
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 Nagawiecki
History and Writing
|
 |
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. |

I am a post-baccalaureate student going for a Bachelors in Secondary Education in Mathematics. My first degree is in Music Theory and History, and both math and music are important parts of my life. Indeed, at the end of my first degree, I realized that I was remiss not to have taken any mathematics courses. That is one error I have now been able to rectify. In terms of tutoring, I volunteered for about a year for the Math Department. I greatly enjoy helping students develop their mathematical interests and skills. I find that, as a result, they are able to achieve a deeper connection to the subject itself. Of course, I also enjoy composing music, playing and teaching piano, solving math problems, philosophy, nature, and being in the company of others. I look forward to meeting you! |

Megan O'Connell
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! |

Hi, my name is Robert and I'm a freshman at UW-Whitewater. I am from Racine, WI and graduated from Park High School.

Ryan Schwartz
History
|
 |
Hello there and greetings! My name is Ryan and I am a junior here at UW-Whitewater and hail from a little town not far from here. I am currently pursuing a degree to teach high school-level history with a certification with a minor in Theatre Education with the intention to add on a certification in Public History as soon as that program is established next year. With that in mind, I plan to finish my undergraduate degree in the Spring of 2014 and proceed to graduate's school: after all, as Ben Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." In the meantime, however, I spend much of my time involved with the Theatre/Dance Department here on campus and feeding my addiction to history with summers spent as an interpreter at the Old World Wisconsin historical site, where I am lucky enough to be able to try my hand at 19th century crafts and reenacting the Civil War with a Wisconsin unit. While this is my first semester working with the Academic Support Center, I have spent the past semester tutoring in writing, GenEd 120 (Historical Perspectives), and history for the Center for Students with Disabilities. I have taken all of the required General Education classes here and specialize in historical studies, particularly Western Civilizations, Colonialism/Imperialism, and global conflicts. If there is anything that I can do to help you out in your pursuits here, please feel free to contact me at any time. |

an inspiration just as that teacher was inspiring to me. |

Hello to everyone! My name is Shanell, and I am a freshman majoring

with homework, but I also know the joy when I finally figure it out! I want
