Peer Tutor Tuesdays with Nicole Lieu

December 13, 2016 by Sandra Matsuba Leave a Comment

Name:       Thanh Ngoc (Nicole) Lieu

Program:  B-Tech (Accounting Degree)

What attracted you to becoming a Peer tutor?

I love helping friends try to understand the information better. I feel happy when my friends or tutees are able to solve problems on their own after my help.

How has tutoring helped you?

I would tend to forget a majority of what I have learned the year before. Tutoring helps me recall information that I learned. From tutoring, I am able to learn different ways to solve the problems from tutees. My teamwork skills has improved.

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?

My advice is that students should try to stay ahead of their classes and work hard until the end.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?

I want to be an accountant in the hospitality industry.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?

If I had a free day, and if I had no school, I would spend my day watching Korean shows which helps me relax.

If I had a free day and there was school, I would spend my day at a bubble tea store and study there. I could enjoy the music, enjoy my drink and study at the same time.

Peer Tutor Tuesdays with Mae Whyte

December 6, 2016 by Sandra Matsuba 1 Comment

Name:        Mae Whyte

Program:   Fish, Wildlife and Recreation

 

 

 

 

 

What attracted you to becoming a Peer tutor?

I wanted to give back to the BCIT community. Getting paid to give back is even better.

How has tutoring helped you?

Working as a Writing Centre tutor has helped me improve my own writing skills. Be concise! Be specific!

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?

Don’t stress it.  That may sound glib, but I’m serious. Stress can make you sick.  You’re too busy to be sick.
Invest time in meditation and exercise so you don’t miss out on your education. Take care of yourself.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?

I’d love to work in invasive species management or habitat restoration. Something involving fish, wildlife, and/or recreation. I have many dream jobs, and most of them involve spending my day in the woods.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?

In the woods! Okay, realistically half in the woods adventuring and half on the couch with a novel.
