Meet the Tutors

Erin - Assistant Coordinator: Senior, English Major

Favorite Quote: "Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." ~William Wordsworth

This quote expresses the freedom and endless possibilities that we have with writing. It encourages you to believe that you have unique aspects and experiences to write about and share with the world.

Kara: Junior, English Major

Favorite Quote: "Be a pineapple. Stand tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside." ~Unknown

I like this quote because it reminds me to be sweet and nice to people, and I love pineapple! 

Noella: Junior, Double Major in Communication & Theatre

Favorite Quote: "After Ehud came Shamgar, son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel." ~Judges 3:31

I really like this quote because it is one of only two verses which mention Shamgar. It's just such a crazy thing because Shamgar saved Israel with what was basically an ancient cattle prod (the "oxgoad").

Magen: Senior, Legal Studies Major, English & Sociology Minors

Favorite Quote: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." ~Joshua 1:9

This quote is an encouraging reminder that we have nothing to fear, no matter what, because God is on our side. We should always keep a positive attitude; after all, what could we possibly have to fear when God is always with us?! We can accomplish anything! 

Lydia: Senior, Double Major in English & Theatre, Communication Minor

Favorite quote: "Give it to God and go to sleep." ~Anonymous

I love this quote because I often have a million things racing through my mind about what I need to get done! There is comfort in knowing I can give to God everything I'm stressed about and have the reassurance that he will take care of me.

Jean-Marc, Tutor-In-Training: Sophomore, Mechanical Engineering

Favorite Quote: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" ~Jeremiah 29:11
 
I like this Bible verse because, when I feel bad, it reminds me that God has great plans for me. 

Abigail, Substitute Tutor: Sophomore, Psychology Major
