What attracted you to becoming a Peer Tutor?
I enjoy giving back to the school as well as other students. I also like the idea that it will help solidify the concepts in my head which will be invaluable in my career.

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Get to know your classmates and work together. It really helps to speak concepts out loud and you can also test each other on topics.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
My ideal job would be in data analytics or a data mining job, specifically focusing on Excel. I enjoy connecting the dots using functions and formulas.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
My free day would be spent playing golf. It would also involve something else outside like cycling and doing the Grouse Grind.

What attracted you to becoming a Peer Tutor?
My instructors recommended tutoring to me while I was in the ABT program. I’ve stayed since then because I find teaching to be a great way of checking my own understanding!

How has tutoring helped you?
I find tutoring rewarding because it helps reinforce what I’ve learned in class.

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Get plenty of sleep and take care of your health. You’ll perform a lot better if you have those two down pat.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
To work in a place where I can challenge myself and work towards being a P.Eng.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
Sleep, who wouldn’t?

What attracted you to becoming a Peer tutor?
Having a chance to help someone having a hard time is something that I really enjoy. As BCIT students we know how overwhelming our programs are, and being a “scape route” from all that pressure is a marvelous feeling.

How has tutoring helped you?
In many ways!
Peers that I’m tutoring don’t realize how much I learn with them. Not only course related since I’m reviewing subjects that are from previous terms, but also as a person. Everyone is a change for me to learn how to inspire, develop leadership skills and, most importantly, understand a little bit more about different perspectives.

If you could give one piece of advice to a BCIT student what would it be?
Work hard, play harder. In my opinion, a good balance between studies and social life is the key to success.

What would your dream job be when you leave BCIT?
I don’t exactly have a “dream job”! I just want to find a position that gives me a feeling that my job is relevant to someone, even if they don’t even notice it.

If you had a free day, how would you spend it?
Definitely drinking a beer with my girlfriend and friends.
