Ashley: My name is Ashley and I'm a Sophomore here at Avery Point. I'm a Mathematics Education major and I'll be transferring to Storrs in the spring. I tutor Math and English but I am available for other subjects as well. Outside of school, I spend my time with friends and family. I lifeguard in the summer at Ocean Beach and enjoy spending time outside--waterskiing during the summer and snowboarding in the winter. I look forward to seeing you this fall!

During my undergrad I worked as a tutor in the Academic Center before graduating and moving to New York City until realizing I couldn't afford it. Now I work in the Academic Center part time, tutoring writing, Sociology, basic Psychology, and helping students where ever I can until I can afford to go to grad school.

Deb: Hiya! I graduated with a dual degree in English and American Studies and a minor in History right here at Avery Point. I now attend grad school at Storrs where I take really complicated classes and teach a section of Freshman English (hopefully not an overly complicated one). I tutor sociology, women’s studies, history, lower level Math, Spanish, American Studies, and my specialty is English...Literature and Writing. If you have a paper due (even for a different field) and are struggling, would just like to discuss ideas, or have a question about essay form or grammar rules, please stop in the Academic Center—I'll be glad to meet and work with you. |

Mark: I am the instructional technology support person for the Avery Point campus and teach Math. Although I sometimes appear serious, at other times I can be positively goofy. In fact, I am a member of a Morris dancing group called the Not For Joes, and we are anything but serious. The groups' motto is "Walk tall and carry a big stick," and you'll have see us dance to understand exactly what this means. |
|
Mary: I am the Program Assistant in Academic Services, and I manage the Academic Center. Drop in and see how much we have to offer.
|
|
Pam: I'm an Assistant Professor of English and the Writing Coordinator for this campus. I teach upper-level courses in popular literature and coordinate tutor training for writing. I tutor writing by appointment and can do assessments for anyone with concerns about their writing, reading, speaking or listening skills. I advise English majors and will be happy to meet with anyone who is considering an English major or minor, or who has questions about technical or business writing. |
|
Ricardo: My name is Ricky and I tutor Anthropology and a long list of other subjects as well. Outside of school and studying, I enjoy jamming on guitar and listening to music. Sometimes you'll see me rocking out on my acoustic guitar around campus with friends. I look forward to seeing you around school!

|
Sean P.: I am a writing tutor here at Avery Point, and I also tutor Spanish up to an intermediate level. In my experience, I have helped students with their papers in a variety of different subjects, so even if you're not working on an English paper, I am ready and willing to help. Aside from writing almost 24/7 I enjoy playing basketball, practicing martial arts, playing the drums, and--of course--watching movies.

Steve : Hello and welcome! My name is Steve and around these parts people know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I help students looking for assistance in chemistry, biology, calculus, and physics. In my spare time I participate in Sailing Club, Ski Club, and volunteering. |
 |
Susan: I direct Academic Services at Avery Point and occasionally teach English. I enjoy writing cheesy campus mysteries and tutoring writing, literature, algebra, and chemistry by appointment. However, if you want to learn about how molecules react in solution, you may have to listen to a story first. ("Say, did you hear the one about the two salts who went to a water-party and decided to break up?") |
|
Val: I tutor writing and will gladly help with other things if I can. I like reading, writing fiction, and doodling. Besides that, I have pretty much no life.
