Stephanie Larkin
Tutor
Courses: ENGL 1101, 1102, Writing
All throughout my school career, I have enjoyed writing, whether it was a creative work that swirled together from imagination or captured little pieces of everyday life or even papers that compiled mountains of information into crisp documents. As I grew older, teaching others to write or even proofreading classmates’ papers—a task I still find strangely enjoyable—was something I loved. While taking classes at Valdosta State University, I quickly realized these two passions could combine through my tutoring writing at the Academic Support Center! I hope to assist students through my time here, helping them as they continue on their educational journeys.

Geography Tutors
Ben Singletary
Tutor
Courses: GEOG 1112, 1113; GEOL 1121
When I was heading into college, I was discouraged from doing something I liked due to a recurring medical condition. So I sought out Environmental Geosciences. At first my mind was only on the weather aspect, but I took more classes and explored more ideas and learned to love it all! Another side of me came out as I noticed other students wasn't doing so well in the geography and geology courses, I wanted to help of course and offered it out to those around me. I held study groups to help those and for those to help me with things that I had trouble with, so in the end we all ended up being successful. So I set my goal to helping others succeed in geoscience courses to the best of my ability.

When I first came to VSU, I never planned on staying. I was here in the pre-engineering program with dreams of transferring to GA Tech, but dreams can change and mine did. After my freshmen year, due to some complications with my parents, I had to take a year off. The time I had went to thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life. After changing my major multiple times, I finally settled on math in hopes of one day being able to teach others. I began to tutor others in my math classes when they were having trouble, reaffirming me that this was what I was meant to do. Now that I get to work at the ASC, I am one step closer to helping other achieve their own dreams. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved to learn. I would get excited when school started back up and when I was assigned a new book to read. Because of this, I knew I wanted to not only go to college, but also seek something beyond undergrad. I originally came to VSU believing I wanted to pursue a degree in biology with the hopes of one day becoming a doctor. To my surprise, I quickly learned I absolutely loved Political Science and could see myself pursuing a career in law. This pushed me to becoming a PoliSci major and working as an SI for POLS 1101. If you need help with your POLS 1101 class, I host three study sessions each week to review the course material!

Sabrina Viana
SI Leader
Courses: POLS 1101
As citizen of Belize, I have always longed to reach for more than what my country has to offer. At home, I was taught the value of education and how important it is to love all kinds of cultures. I have always studied “away” from home. Taking the bus to travel between districts to get to junior college and crossing the border to study in Mexico was always an adventure. Soon enough I found myself coming to the United States to disperse my knowledge and different lifestyle methods to others. I found myself teaching others about my country’s beauty and the different types of people we have there. Later on, being fully immersed in what was now my 4th home, I became a very involved student and always looking for more ways to give back to the young generation. I am currently a senior Political Science with a concentration in International Relations, a newly hired Supplemental Instructor for POLS 1101 (American Government) for the Academic Support Center amongst other things. With more than willingness, feel free to approach me for any assistance regarding my are of instruction.

I started my college journey in my home town in Prague, finishing my first year on faculty of humanities in Charles University. I transfered to VSU in 2018 and joined the psychology program with sociology minor. In 2019 me and my teamates won the regular season and GSC championships before we ended up second in the regional championships in tennis. I started teaching when I was in high school, giving daily tennis lessons and private tutoring in english. I quickly found out that I like helping people learn and adopt new skills as well as sharing joy from their improvement. Furthermore, with time I realized that true teaching is always mutual since explaining things while listening and considering others’ perspectives brings deeper understanding of the material and further growth. When I got the offer to help other students in my beloved field of psychology here at VSU I did not hesitate. I am always looking forward to both learn and teach new things and I hope that students will benefit from my approach.
Russian Tutors
Charles Whiting
SI Leader
Courses: RUSS 1001
Learning Foreign Languages have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a child. At a young age, I quickly linked the importance of foreign language acquisition and saw how it would benefit me in life. From speaking Spanish with people at the plant nurseries that my family and I went to when I was younger, to studying Russian and even Arabic in university, I feel I can comfortably call myself a linguaphile and an aspiring polyglot. For me, foreign language study is learning how to communicate and connect with others—an incredibly important life skill that I think can only be cultivated by genuinely interacting with people and connecting with their culture. My name is Charles Whiting, and I am the SI for the beginning Russian language and Intro to Russian Culture 1 class. I host three sessions a week, where I will help you connect to the material that you are learning in class and give you a chance to practice and enhance your Russian language skills. I know the challenges that come with learning a foreign language, and I would love to see you all at my sessions.

After this experience, I came to realize that I really enjoy working with people. Now, starting this new journey as an all-levels Spanish tutor I'm excited to contribute with my knowledge in being a good source and helpful guide to students in the process of learning this language.

Sarah Wiggins
Tutor
Courses: SPAN 1001 1002, 2001, 2002
I am a junior in college and I am studying Spanish with a minor and sociology. It wasn't until college that I discovered my passion for the Spanish language. I've always known my future career would involve working with and helping others because of the joy I find in this, but now I have been able to couple a language that I love with this passion.

Stephanie Larkin
Tutor
Courses: ENGL 1101, 1102, Writing
All throughout my school career, I have enjoyed writing, whether it was a creative work that swirled together from imagination or captured little pieces of everyday life or even papers that compiled mountains of information into crisp documents. As I grew older, teaching others to write or even proofreading classmates’ papers—a task I still find strangely enjoyable—was something I loved. While taking classes at Valdosta State University, I quickly realized these two passions could combine through my tutoring writing at the Academic Support Center! I hope to assist students through my time here, helping them as they continue on their educational journeys.
