Hello, my name is Ian. I am a senior here at Southwestern University majoring in Biochemistry. My passion for the sciences (especially chemistry) and my love of meeting new people have made me thrilled to be an organic chemistry tutor. I find synthetic chemistry to be the most fun but love all things related to chemistry. I am active in several clubs/organizations around campus and hope to see you around!

Hi! My name is Ashlyn, and I am a junior majoring in Mathematics and minoring in Biology.

Math is a subject that people tend to either hate or love, and a year ago, I was someone who despised it. Numbers don’t always come easy to me, and I’ve always had to work hard to be a better math student. It was through these extra hours that, along with some great professors, I realized that I could thrive in a space I had previously thought wasn’t for me, and at the end of the day I enjoy the journey every math problem takes me.

My hope is that I can help others with their goals in math and mend their relationship with the subject!

Hello everyone! My name is Chandha, and I am a junior majoring in Molecular Biology and minoring in Neuroscience and Health Studies.

Aside from working in the DEWC, I’m a proud ZTA service chair (ZLAM!), an animal care technician in the rat lab, and the student engagement coordinator for the biology department. But don’t let my strongly STEM centered academics fool you! My heart lies with liberal arts, my love for writing, and the study of behavior. As a published academic author of the anthropological article Navigating Desi American Cultural Identity, I’ve slowly but surely become obsessed with people - how they think, form bonds, develop identities, and everything and anything in between. This infatuation with the research and writing process is what drew me to the DEWC my freshman year.

While I can consume books at an absurd pace, organizing the thoughts in my head into coherent writing is something that’s taken time and practice for me. My hope is that as your writing consultant, I can offer some insight into this process for you! Regardless of where you are in your writing journey, we can traverse that path together. I look forward to seeing you in the writing center!

Hi my name is Clay and I’m a junior currently pursuing a major in physics and a minor in math.

Hi, my name is Rachel! I am a senior majoring in Financial Economics with a minor in Data Science, and I am going to be one of the tutors for Fundamentals of Accounting. I became a tutor because I genuinely enjoy helping others and believe that teaching is a great way to reinforce my own learning. My goal is to become a CPA, which drives my focus on accounting, a subject I really enjoyed during my coursework.

In addition to tutoring, I am actively involved in the Business Club and the Economics Society, and I am a student worker in the Finance and Administration Office.

I look forward to working with you!

Hi! My name is Kendyl Feuerbacher, and I am a junior majoring in German and studio art. I decided to become a tutor because I understand how stressful it is to begin a new language. While it may seem difficult with its long words, German is a fun and exciting language to explore. I want to help you to have fun learning this language, culture, and lifestyle as you continue to grow in your Southwestern journey.

While I’ve been on my Southwestern journey, there are plenty of other things I love to do outside of classes. I love to draw, sing, swim, bike, hike, play video games, watch anime, and hang out with all my friends! My favorite learning style is to learn by doing, and one of the ways I figured this out was by doing math homework and playing video games. When you decide to be tutored by me, I would love it if you could say your preferred learning style so I can help you in a more personalized manner.

While this journey at Southwestern is a fun, new experience, we at the Learning Commons are here to help make it a more effortless experience for you. I look forward to working with all of you!

Hi! My name is Andres and I am a junior Chemistry major. I love Chemistry (duh!) and after a series of research experiences, I hope to pursue a career in Chemistry research after I complete my time at Southwestern. I became a Chemistry tutor because I want to help students succeed in Chemistry where students think they can’t and hopefully show them the same beauty that I see in Chemistry every single day.

Bonjour! I’m Lilie-Rose, a senior majoring in kinesiology and French and a native French speaker born and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up in a French-Canadian household with both of my parents being French-Canadian, I was immersed in French from a young age.

I’m passionate about sharing my love for French and helping others discover the joy of speaking this beautiful language. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your existing skills, I’m here to guide you through every step of your learning journey.

Hi! My name is Kimble and I’m a biology tutor. I am a sophomore on the Pre-Med track majoring in biochemistry and minoring in feminist studies. I’m involved in research studying pipefish embryological development and serve as the Co-President of SU Tertulias, a Spanish movie club designed to help people learn the language in a low-stakes environment. I became a tutor to offer support to other students because I know how challenging certain courses can be.

Hi! I’m Camille, and I’m a senior majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Data Analytics. I’ll be a Computer Science and Calculus I & II tutor this year!

I absolutely love computer science, math, and the creativity both of these fields can bring. But I know that both fields can be daunting when first starting. It takes a lot of practice to get experience with math and computer science, and these fields can bombard you with negative feedback that can be hard to interpret. I’ve spent hours trying to figure out why I’m getting a math problem wrong or being confused about what an error message on the compiler even means. But getting a wrong answer is inevitable, and even good for you: the learning comes from adjusting your thought process and moving forward. As a tutor, my goal is to give you the tools you need to interpret your mistakes and know what steps you need to take when solving any problem. Once you gain these skills, computer science and math stop being an impossible task and start to become enjoyable! I hope to help you achieve this, and I can’t wait to see you this year!

Hi, my name is Elizabeth! I am a senior majoring in Kinesiology with a minor in Health Studies. I am excited to join the tutoring staff to share my love and passion for all things Kinesiology with my fellow students and help build your confidence in these subjects. Additionally, I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned in my past three years at Southwestern to do what I can to make your experience the best!

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes, crocheting, knitting, or binge watching a new movie/show. I am also part of the swim team here on campus, so I am no stranger to managing a busy schedule!

I look forward to meeting and working with you this year!

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m a junior majoring in Psychology and International Studies with a minor in Chinese.

I’m a Ukrainian-American polyglot with a passion for all things reading, writing, and language learning and have both a creative and critical eye! I’m proficient in both Psychology APA research writing as well as the detail-oriented formal analysis style in Art History. I have always loved the expression of creative writing and from the age of 10, I was convinced I wanted to be a published author: a goal I’m still working on to this day! When I started my psychology classes at Southwestern, I worried about the research essays I would have to craft and dreaded how difficult the process would be. But once I started, I realized there was a beauty in that kind of writing too, and once the key to that outline was unlocked, there was no reason to be scared.

I hope to be able to see you at any point in your writing process, whether research or reflection oriented, and become your support system to help you reach your writing goals!

Hello! My name is Alyanna and I am a Computer Science and Psychology double-major with a minor in Neuroscience. I am involved in the Wind Ensemble, LatinXcel, and a couple other activities here and there. I am also a peer academic mentor here at SU!

As a student that has taken many of the computer science courses at SU, I am aware of the challenges that other students may go through when taking them. Some of the assignments can be quite daunting, especially for those who have had little to no coding experience in the past. In fact, I found myself struggling with them a lot myself! Nevertheless, I found that seeking help from both the professors and the tutors available on campus has helped me tremendously with not only the development of my coding skills, but also my confidence in them.

I hope to replicate the same kindness and understanding that I was receiving from the tutors that helped me through the introductory courses in Computer Science. If you ever need help walking through code or having trouble on any assignment, come and visit me in the learning commons! I am more than happy to help in any way that I can.

Hi! My name is Sabina, I am a transfer student from Mexico City. While studying in Mexico, I obtained a degree in biological engineering, mainly focused on tissue engineering. I’m a sophomore majoring in biochemistry on the medical track. I’m involved in research on campus with the physics department and am the Co-president of SU Tertulias, a Spanish movie club designed to practice the language.

I’m excited to help you learn a new language, and if you are interested, learn about Mexican culture. Hope to meet you soon!

My name is Sam McClure and I am a junior. I am a business major and I am also going for a minor in economics and data analytics. I wanted to tutor because I realized it is a good way to help people, which is something I enjoy doing. I also enjoy economics, so tutoring economics puts two things together that I enjoy. I am also a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and the Men’s Golf Team.

Hi! My name is Rachael Ng and I’m a senior here at Southwestern University. I’m a psychology major and a biology minor on the Pre-Medical Track. I am an Organic Chemistry student tutor in the SLC Learning Commons and am here to help with any questions you have! When I first took Organic Chemistry, the class definitely changed the way my brain approached chemistry in general because there was so much drawing and less math. I struggled for many weeks, trying my best to understand the different mechanisms and reactions by myself but that didn’t help me improve my skills. It wasn’t until I reached out for help from my professor and consistently attending the SciGuide sessions, that I finally grew to ace the concepts in the course and even grew an interest in the topic! So, to break the cycle of Organic Chemistry being the worst class ever, I want to also provide my help to other students who are in the same boat and let them realize just how cool Organic Chemistry really is! Besides being a tutor, I’m also active in other activities on campus. I’m an Organic Chemistry SciGuide, a research assistant in a microbiology research lab, the Vice President for the Pre-Health Organization, the co-founder of the CMCB program, and part of the College YoungLife organization!

Hi! I’m Kylie, a senior, and an English and Classics double major. I am the Classics Club president and the second tutor for Ancient Greek and Latin. I studied abroad in Athens for the Fall semester of ’24, and I was a member of the Rome Research trip that Dr. Easton led over this past summer (’25).

I’m really looking forward to helping fellow students out with learning these beloved (and sometimes torturous) dead languages. My hope is to provide all students interested in these languages with the materials and support to hone their skills until they are confident in themselves and their knowledge. I also want to ensure that all Southwestern students are aware that we have such a great Classics department filled to the brim with folks ready to help.

Hey! My name is Vedant, a junior Biochemistry major and Neuroscience/Health Studies minors on the pre-med track. I became a Chemistry tutor because I wanted to alleviate students’ fears going into their introductory chemistry courses. When I first arrived at SU, I had an irrational fear/hate for chemistry after hearing countless horror stories. But through the various STEM resources available on campus, I became confident in the field and excited to learn more. I hope to serve as another resource to better understand the material, perhaps from a different perspective than during lecture, and succeed as a STEM major. I love motorsports, gaming, music, reading (Sci-Fi & historical fiction), and movies, so feel free to bring those up when you see me. I’m also involved in Student Government, Student Activities, the Student Philanthropy Council, and the Megaphone. I look forward to seeing y’all around!

Hi! My name is Jessie, and I am a senior majoring in biology and minoring in animal studies. I am the head captain of our cheerleading squad here at Southwestern, a proud member of our EQUIP scholars, and have recently studied abroad in Australia. I became a tutor at the Learning Commons to be the resource I wish I had during the difficult times of each science course. I also believe that the most effective way to learn is to teach. So, I am excited to work with you all as a biology and chemistry tutor to increase your understanding of the natural world and its workings. I am also happy to help create vocabulary flashcards, concept maps, process diagrams, and other study strategies tailored to each student’s way of thinking.

Hello! My name is Isabel and I am a senior this year at Southwestern. I am a double major in Political Science and Spanish. I am a proud member of DDD (DLAM!) and the Southwestern Cross Country and Track & Field team where I compete in long distance events.

I wanted to be a Spanish tutor this year because I have always had a love for the language and I think the more people who get to share this culture and language with me the better. I had the privilege of studying abroad in Granada, Spain this summer and became motivated to help others be able to communicate in Spanish-speaking communities because I believe there is something unique and rewarding about learning about cultures in their mother tongue. Whether you are looking for help improving your ability to converse in Spanish, write better grammatically, or working on a cultural project, I hope to be able to help you to the best of my ability and see you succeed.
