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!

Online Writing Tutoring is still available! Sign up today! Hello Retrievers,

I hope we're all still doing well and staying safe! The Academic Success Center is still working hard to bring you all of the resources you need to be successful this semester, such as the Writing Center. 

To better support you (while still social distancing) the Writing Center has moved completely online. It's hard to stay connected during this time, but maybe Getting to Know one of our Writing Center tutors will help!

Meet Kyndall

Tell us about yourself!

I’m an English major, I’m a sophomore, and I’m a writing tutor—we do it all!

Tell us what else you do on campus

I am a TA for science of water, I am a writing fellow for English 100, VP of ChewMBC, and VP of Spanish conversation!

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?

I’m really into education and I wanted to explore how it is to actually teach people—it was an opportunity that I couldn’t let pass by. (can’t block your blessings)

Why do you love your job?

I’m a very shy person, so having this job allows me to come in contact with a lot of people who I usually would not meet. It allows me to come out of my shell. My tutees help me learn as much as I help them learn.

Ideal pizza and why?

Supreme pizza with no olives because olives are disgusting and I like every other topping on there. Really, all I need is a mushroom pizza, but if it doesn’t have mushrooms, I’ll eat it, but do I want it?

Wise words, Kyndall. Wise words. Now if YOU want writing help, booking an appointment is easy!
  1. Go to umbc.go-redrock.com and log in.  
  2. Under “search availability,” choose "Writing Center" to see the schedule.
  3. Pick the Writing Center appointment that works for your schedule.
  4. Finalize the appointment and check your email for confirmation.
  5. Your tutor will email you 5-10 minutes before the session with instructions.
That's all it takes! So be sure to take advantage of your resources and take care of your papers and yourself!

The Academic Success Center would like to recognize our amazing writing tutors and staff who presented at the 2020 Mid Atlantic Writing Center Association Conference!

Here are some highlights:

Partnering for student success: Centering student agency in the writing and research process. 
Presenters: Erin Durham, Elaine MacDougall, Allison Jennings-Roche, Beck Hertl, Emma Jett, and Kyndall Hardwick
The library and writing center staff have developed a strong collaborative relationship to center student agency in the research and writing process at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

What Do “Diversity” and “Social Justice” Mean to Writing Center Practitioners?
Presenters: Violeta Brito, Uchendu Uchendu, Fleurine Amouzou Guiffo
This roundtable will engage participants to think critically about diversity and social justice in writing centers. We will analyze the past, present, and future pedagogies of writing centers in the context of social justice.

Creating Trauma-Informed Writing Workshops: Reflection and Intervention in the Narratives of Our Lives. 
Presenter: Elaine MacDougall, Writing Center Director.
Trauma-Informed writing workshops allow space for reflection and intervention in our own thought processes. Writers can reflect on their own sense of a “dominant cultural narrative” and work to transform that narrative if necessary, giving voice to silence when imposed on individuals in our communities, including writing center spaces.

Developing more effective tutoring strategies for multilingual writers in the Writing Center. 
Presenters: Ajay Kharkar, Jamie Denton
This Data Dash presentation features the early findings of research on strategies to increase comfort for multilingual writers in our Writing Center.

To our presenters, we thank you for your work to make our Writing Center more inclusive and supportive to all learners.

Hello Retrievers!
Tutoring is up and running for Spring 2020! You know about our services, but let's learn a bit about the people who make it happen with our Get to Know series!

Today's tutor is Ryan Mbagna-Nanko! Ryan is a Mechanical Engineering major at UMBC. In addition to working at the Math and Science Tutoring Center, Ryan also is available to tutor by appointment for PHYS 122.

Hey Ryan! Tell us what else you do on campus!
I’m a teaching fellow for Dynamics as well as a member of the NSBE. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer so I’m also a member of the intramural soccer team.

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?
I was recommended by the professor to be a resource. I felt that I was social and relatable since I struggled a little bit in the beginning of the course. Because I sought out that help from my professor, I was able to do better.

Why do you love your job?
I enjoy that high of working with people and collaboration, improving their confidence in their subject. I enjoy that interaction and seeing people progress and understand the material. Seeing that before and after is motivating!

Ideal pizza and why?
It’s gotta be spicy, for sure! It can be breakfast pizza, with eggs and cheese. It has to have hot sauce on it and it has to have extra jalapenos. You can even swap out the marinara sauce with hot sauce, and I will eat it!

Thanks, Ryan for letting us get to know you! 
Find Ryan in the Math and Science Tutoring Center or book an appointment with him today!

Peer assisted study sessions for your classes at UMBC! Happy Monday, Retrievers!

We made it through the first week of the semester, so let's talk about a great resource that can help you be successful: SI PASS!

SI Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are weekly review sessions led by trained student leaders. Not only have SI PASS leaders succeeded in the course before, but they also attend classes along with you so they can help you be successful. 

The best way to find out more about SI PASS is to attend a session! SI PASS exists for select BIOL, CHEM, ECON, MATH, PHYS, and SPAN courses. For session times, please check with your SI PASS leader.

SI PASS allows students to interact with the material in dynamic ways. Sessions allow students to compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and prepare for tests.

Do you love SI PASS? Tell us about it in the comments!
