Emma Griego, Math and Computer Science Tutor in the Library
Reward: to see students make progress and feel confident!
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m Emma Griego and
I’m a junior math major and computer science minor. In my free time I like to
watch tv series and play piano. I also like to play table tennis.
Tell us about
how you are involved on campus.
I’m a tutor at the
Math and Science Tutoring Center. Also, I am part of the table tennis
club.
How and why
did you get involved in being a tutor?
During my freshman
year I would help my friends with their homework for math classes and study for
math exams. I enjoyed helping other people and sharing my passion for math, so
I decided to apply to be a tutor to help other students on campus, too.
What is your
favorite thing about being a tutor?
My favorite thing
about being a tutor is when something clicks for the student I’m helping and
they get excited about what they’re doing. It’s rewarding to see students make
progress and feel confident about what they’re doing.
Why should students utilize the tutoring?
It’s completely free and tutors are available almost all day. It’s also not a big commitment if someone is nervous about it. You show up and leave whenever you want. Also it’s useful to get help from tutors may explain concepts in a way that’s easier for other students to learn because they’ve recently gone through the class.
What advice
would you give students about how to prepare for
a tutoring session?
Bring specific topics
or questions that you’d like help with. Also, bring all of your notes
and/or your textbook.
When and where can someone work with you through the Learning Resources Center?
I work at the Math and Science Tutoring Center (MASTC) in the library on Mondays 12pm-2pm and 5pm-7pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays 2pm-5pm. I tutor almost every math class up to 301 and CMSC 201. For a full schedule of everyone, you can visit the LRC website. The MASTC right past the security and all the way to the right when you walk in.
