Hi Everyone,

I’m Inez and have been working with the tutoring program in the AATC for over 7 years. 

I’ll soon be an aggie alum. I’m working on my dissertation for my EdD in Educational Leadership where I’m talking to other tutoring center professionals about equity in their work.

I look forward to seeing you all in the tutoring pedagogy course each quarter and serving as a support for you all in the important work you do to offer academic support to your peers.

Love getting visitors and happy to chat about how you frame your work as tutors to transition into your career or grad school. You all do important work and I’m proud to work alongside you.

Hi, AATC Tutors!
Please call me Katie or Katie P. I’ve been the Assistant Director of Tutoring with AATC for a little over a year now, but I’ve been working in collegiate tutoring programs (especially writing centers) for 16 years. I started as a student peer tutor just like you and developed a passion for listening to college students and supporting their particular educational needs.
I’ve stayed in tutoring because I love continuing to learn with tutors and feel honored to work with a community of peers dedicated to providing academic support outside of the classroom. I am thrilled to talk shop any time you want to stop by my office in 2264 Dutton Hall.

When I’m not working with tutors, I enjoy spending time with my close social circle, talking with my plants, and making every animal friend I can.

Hello Tutors! 

My name is Aditi and I am the Tutor Coordinator at the AATC. My responsibilities include running our social media, updating guides and how-tos, as well as conducting observations, Job Discussions, and New Tutor Orientations. 

I started working at the AATC back in 2020 as a Student Program Coordinator, and have loved working at the AATC ever since! I graduated from UC Davis in Fall 2022 with a degree in cognitive science with a neuroscience emphasis. In my free time, I like to crochet, bake, and play with my dog!

Writing Recruitment Coordinator, Heather Sturman

Heather Sturman

Writing Recruitment Coordinator

 My name is Heather, I use she/her pronouns, and I’m also a Writing Specialist here at the AATC. Originally from southern California, I’ve been at UCD since 2007, when I started my PhD program in Linguistics. After I graduated, I started working at the AATC in 2013, and I’ve been here ever since! A fun fact about me: When I was 10 years old, Nickelodeon selected a short story of mine to be animated. Then on a family vacation to Orlando, I got to record voices in a recording booth and got a behind-the-scenes tour of Nickelodeon studios. Unfortunately, my story didn’t end up being aired, but it was still a neat experience.

Tutor Leadership Team

Our Tutor Leadership team is comprised of our Lead Tutor and our Head Subject Tutors. The Tutor Leadership team plays an integral role in supporting the tutoring program by conducting observations and feedback sessions for fellow tutors.
