The last Tutor Tuesday of the semester!!! Michael Van Bodegom-Smith… I know, long name lol. Michael is one of our music tutors. He’s an astounding composer and an avid talker. He’s always on the lookout to learn something new and has lots of energy! Come get tutored by our very talented half German, half Korean musician and say hi if you see him boarding around campus!

TUTOR TUESDAY!!! This is an extra special appreciation post because this tutor, Jimena Ochoa Alvarez, has been the one creating all of the Tutor Tuesday posts this semester, and now it is her turn! Jimena is a musical theater major who has been known to practice her songs around the office. She was born and raised in Mexico, tutors both Spanish and French, and claims that she is a really great cook... can anyone verify that? Anyways, Jimena is graduating at the end of this semester so make sure to come and say goodbye!
