Reflections on Tutoring Experience

What Our Peer Tutors Tell Us

Marcellin Premila Jerome, Chemical engineering
Being a mentor in the ASC has been a unique experience. The place itself offers various kinds of learning
opportunities depending on the student’s needs. The sense of helping a student to feel comfortable and being
able to make her understand her issues enlightened me. The time I spent at the ASC also helped me to make new
friends and broaden my teaching skills.
Lastly, it has enabled me to keep in touch with my previous courses and achieve a deeper understanding of the
subjects. I would advise any student to go to the ASC regardless of the topic you find difficult - there is always a
person waiting there to help you. Even if you want to study on your own, the ASC will provide you with the best
environment to study.

Ghadeer Ismail, Architecture
Tutoring at the Academic Success Center has taught me to be more patient while teaching others and understand
effective learning strategies such as structuring the material and seeking out key pieces of information. I studied
some materials intending to teach others, and this involved the use of additional techniques that lead to a more
comprehensive understanding for me to pass on.
ASC increased my feeling of responsibility and motivated me to learn more myself. It improved my communication
skills, leadership ability, and increased my confidence.
