Hello! My name is Tristan, an academic support tutor who specializes in writing and neurodiverse support for college students of all backgrounds. I am so excited to support my community beyond my work as a tutor and peer mentor at Mount San Antonio College, where I support students with a wide range of educational needs, including neurodiverse learners, veterans, and individuals with acquired brain injuries.
My approach is simple: I tutor students first and subjects second. This means that beyond completing assignments, I help students develop the skills and confidence necessary to become strong and independent learners. In our sessions, we might focus on any of the following skills depending on your goals: analyzing literature, organizing essays, forming clear ideas and arguments, strengthening writing and communication, developing strong research and critical thinking, utilizing college resources. In accordance with my personal pedagogy, I believe in a growth mindset and aim to create a space where students feel supported, not judged, and ready to face the challenges of college life with clarity and control.
As for my qualifications, I earned an Associate of Arts in Psychology, with Honors, at Mt. SAC, where I also completed a professional development training program for tutors centered on specialized support. Furthermore, I earned a Certificate of Behavioral Health at the University of the People, where I established a strong understanding of mental health studies. Lastly, I am currently working toward a career in academic counseling at California State University Northridge.
I look forward to helping you succeed!
