Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman

Why do you want to be a tutor?

I found that I would already often help out fellow students with schoolwork, so I thought it would be great to become an actual tutor. I believe it also helps me refine my skills as well, so it’s really a win-win.

Advice to Champlain Student?

It’s a good practice to seek advice from others sometimes, whether that be for assignments, resume help, or just general advice. Since one of the benefits of college is getting to study with others (as well as having access to student services that help with these exact things), why not broaden your perspective and build you knowledge with the help of your student peers and faculty if you are stuck or curious about something? It’s usually pretty helpful!

Fun Fact
