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!

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!

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!
