Happy Thursday, Retrievers!

We're almost through the week and what better way to celebrate than with a Get to Know a Tutor post! This week, we're highlighting another one of our Math and Science tutors, Gabby Khan!

Oh and as a reminder: all Math and Science Tutoring Center services are ONLINE! Check out this quick tutorial for how to access tutoring if you have any questions: Academic Success Center Online Tutoring

Now that you know how to get Math and Science help if you want it, let's get to know Gabby!

Tell us about yourself!

I’m a sophomore, computer science major with a game development pathway. I work in the MASTC and I tutor CMSC 201-203, MATH 151-152, and PHYS 121

Tell us what else you do on campus.

I work for the honors college council and I’m the public relations chair. I advertise events for the honors college.

Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?

I would go there a lot for tutoring when I first started here and I realized it’s really helpful. Since I hung out there all the time, someone assumed I was a tutor. I helped them out and then I realized “hey! I can do this!”

Why do you love your job?

I love when students come back to me and tell me that they now understand something and they’ve succeeded in their class. I had a student message me and thank me for helping them in Physics! I like the feeling that I’m actually helping people achieve what they want.

Ideal pizza and why?

I have two. I love Magherita because it has those rich flavors and textures! I also like everything veggie pizza! I don’t hate meat, but I feel like it’s got that crunch factor and that taste on everything.

Thanks, Gabby! If you need help with Math and Science, now's a great time to get tutoring and prepare for finals. Remember to seek out help if you need it and finish this semester strong!
