Why do you want to be a tutor?

I love helping people through their problems! We all get stuck sometimes, and I think its important to have a friendly voice to talk to while stuck.

Advice to Champlain Student?

Break your problems down into smaller pieces! From there, ask yourself which pieces you’re stuck on. Often, you’ll find that you know more than you think!

Fun Fact

I love music! I’m primarily into music from the 1980s to 2000s, but I enjoy a wide variety of genres.

The CNCS tutor did an excellent job working with me on a PHP config file — he found a balance between guiding me and letting me figure out the issue on my own. He was patient with me as I worked, and ensured he was available for my questions.
