Happy Thursday, Retrievers!

We're almost through the week and what better way to celebrate than with a Get to Know a Tutor post! This week, we're highlighting another one of our Math and Science tutors, Gabby Khan!

Oh and as a reminder: all Math and Science Tutoring Center services are ONLINE!  Check out this quick tutorial for how to access tutoring if you have any questions: Academic Success Center Online Tutoring

Now that you know how to get Math and Science help if you want it, let's get to know Gabby!

Tell us about yourself!

I’m a sophomore, computer science major with a game development pathway. I work in the MASTC and I tutor CMSC 201-203, MATH 151-152, and PHYS 121

Tell us what else you do on campus.

I work for the honors college council and I’m the public relations chair. I advertise events for the honors college.

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?

I would go there a lot for tutoring when I first started here and I realized it’s really helpful. Since I hung out there all the time, someone assumed I was a tutor. I helped them out and then I realized “hey! I can do this!”

Why do you love your job?

I love when students come back to me and tell me that they now understand something and they’ve succeeded in their class. I had a student message me and thank me for helping them in Physics! I like the feeling that I’m actually helping people achieve what they want.

Ideal pizza and why?

I have two. I love Magherita because it has those rich flavors and textures! I also like everything veggie pizza! I don’t hate meat, but I feel like it’s got that crunch factor and that taste on everything.


Thanks, Gabby! If you need help with Math and Science, now's a great time to get tutoring and prepare for finals. Remember to seek out help if you need it and finish this semester strong!

Hi Retrievers!

Welcome to another edition of Get to Know a Tutor! Today, we're going to spotlight one of our amazing Math and Science Tutoring Center tutors: Nathan Janus!

Oh and as a reminder: all Math and Science Tutoring Center services are ONLINE! You can still get help with Math if you want to. Check out this quick tutorial if you have any questions: Academic Success Center Online Tutoring

Now that you know how to get Math help, let's get to know Nathan!

Tell us about yourself!
I am a math major, senior, and I tutor most math classes in Math Science Tutoring Center.

What else do you do on campus?
I’ve also been a TA for the math department for about 4 years. 

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?
My very first semester, I got involved with some study groups for my class and then I realized that I really enjoyed helping people get up to speed and let it click for them. Also my professor recommended me to do it.

Why do you love your job
I love when the students get it, you know? You can see the little switch go in their brain. I also love hearing the success stories and that they get it or they passed the class. I love the relationships I build with people who return to the MASTC and how we get to see them throughout the semester.

Ideal pizza and why?
BBQ chicken pizza because marinara sauce is overrated.

There you have it! If you need help in Math, make sure you check out online tutoring through the Academic Success Center!
