Reflections from the
ASC Family Members
Abd Al Rhman Al Rifaee - Peer Mentor & Course Assistant 1089444
I had an exceptional experience being a course assistant and peer mentor. While the
students faced certain challenges, I played a key role in enhancing their understanding
of the material. This resulted in a substantial positive impact and marked development
in their learning. In addition to that, guiding the students throughout their first semester
at university and ensuring they had a friend was a profoundly heartwarming experience,
adding an extra layer of fulfillment to my role.
Alyssa Brianna Palmer - Peer Mentor 1089444
Being a peer mentor for 5 semesters has been an invaluable experience for both myself and
my mentees. I have had the opportunity to practice my interpersonal and communicative
skills, while also imparting my advice and experiences to help new students settle in
the university. My mentees get the benefit of having someone who already “knows the
ropes” to guide them through their first semester. It is truly a wonderful experience and
a great way to help new students who may not know all ADU and the ASC have to offer!
Tuayyeb Hussain - Peer Tutor 1091398
Being a peer tutor at Abu Dhabi University has really benefited me in many aspects of
my life. This role has not just strengthened the grasp of the course I tutor but it also
has boosted my cognitive abilities and morale. Moreover, it really makes me confident
enough to take up challenges that are meant to hinder my career goals.
Sheryl Jubi - Course Assistant 1078783
Being a Course Assistant at the ASC has greatly aided me in stepping outside of my
comfort zone and developing my soft skills. The ASC has undoubtedly assisted me in
becoming more vocal and confident, from meeting and conversing to communicating
and clearly expressing my opinions. This role has instilled in me a sense of trustworthiness
and dependability, and has also given me a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in
knowing that I have assisted someone.
