What attracted you to becoming a Peer Tutor?
I became a peer tutor because I found them very helpful in my first year at BCIT, and I wanted to give back to the community.
How has tutoring helped you?
Peer Tutoring has really helped me keep my fundamental knowledge fresh. It’s also helped me make friends within my own program.
If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Make sure you draw a clear line between school and fun. If you’re studying, focus and study. If you can’t focus, take a real break. Too many people spend unproductive hours at school rather than taking a satisfying break, which really elevates their stress.
What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
I would love to work in Research and Development, especially designing mountain bike components!
If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
Mountain biking!
