Anastasia

Hi! My name is Anastasia (she/hers) and my nickname is Ana. I’m currently going into my senior year here at SUNY New Paltz majoring in Psychobiology. I’m a subject tutor for College Algebra. I chose to work at the CSS because I understand what it’s like to deal with the difficulties of challenging concepts and discovering your different learning styles. I’m not only hoping to help you through your courses, but to also help you find what studying and learning styles work best for you! Some of my hobbies include crocheting, taking care of my plants, and watching documentaries! My plans after graduation are still undecided, but I’m hoping to work within the medical field! I’m looking forward to meeting you and having a great semester!

John

Hello! My name is John (he/him/his) and I am a Peer Subject Tutor for Intro To Proof. I am a senior majoring in Mathematics, and  I wish to one day become a Software Engineer after graduation.
