Now I only have about one or two terms left at LBCC to finish all other required 200 level courses for my degree. Some of my hobbies and interests include staying active, riding my bike, exploring nature, and traveling. I also love math and science related subjects, as well as helping other students understand challenging concepts. I hope that I can be a valuable resource for you to use, and I look forward to getting to know and work with you.

Tutors: Cell Bio, A&P, Psych

Hello! I'm Phoenix, and I am studying human biology with a focus on neuroscience. My goal is to get an MD and become a neurologist so I can work in head trauma one day. Outside of school, I love drawing, reading, working out, and playing with my cat, Sunny. I've lived in Oregon my whole life, and have lived in Corvallis for the last twelve years. I'm very excited to be a tutor and meet you all! I hope I can provide valuable support in cell bio, anatomy & physiology, and psychology. 

Tutors: Physics & Statistics

I am Pyra Krussow. I tutor the opening Physics 201-203/211-213 series as well as Stat 243. As a tutor, I like to put emphasis on the process of thinking through the question and building good habits and foundations for going forward, as I often find in my own studies that the hardest part of starting a problem is getting your 'what do i know' and 'how might i go through this' straightened out. Once I do, I find it winds up sailing smoother, and hope to bring that understanding to others! I have also dabbled in programming with Python for the purposes of using in Physics calculations so if you're going through the physics series and having issues with that, I might be able to help. From my experience as well, content from Stat 243 often shows up in other courses like health or business, so don't be afraid to book if you're having problems with statistics in one of those and the Tutoring Center points you my way! The worst that might happen is we both take a bit to figure out something together.

Tutors: Music (Embedded & Individual)

Hello! My name is Sailor, and I am a music major at LBCC. After my time at Linn-Benton, I plan on transferring to a university and becoming a certified music therapist. I love thrifting, appreciating nature, and playing solitaire :)

Tutors: Biology, Chemistry, & Physics

My name is Sara Leathers, and I tutor biology, chemistry, and physics. I graduated from OSU in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Physics, and I now work as a lab manager at a company that makes mouthwash and toothpaste. I still take classes from LBCC when I can (often computer science classes), and also spend a lot of time working with the Remotely Operated Vehicle team. 

Tutors: Math & Spanish

Hello! I’m Sara, your tutor for MTH 252, 254, 256, and SPN 101-103, 201-203. I’m currently pursuing my degree in mathematics with a minor in Spanish, through OSU and LBCC. Some of you might know me, since I’ve lived in Albany for most of my life!

Exploring math is one of my passions, just like learning in general. Outside of academics, I love to roller-skate, hike, and do almost any kind of art! Right now, I’ve been trying to learn how to sew clothes. 

College can be a challenge, especially when there is only so much support built into class time. I hope I can be helpful in providing the one-on-one guidance you deserve. Whether you feel stuck or just want to talk about an interesting lecture, I’ll do my best to answer any questions you have. It’s ok if you don’t even know what to ask. We can figure it out together!

Tutors: Cell Bio, A&P, Microbiology

Hi, I’m Shianne! I’m currently working toward getting into the Diagnostic Imaging program here at LBCC. I’ve always had a passion for helping people and a love for biology, so I know the healthcare field is where I’m meant to be. Along with being a student, I work as a barista at Roast Runners on campus—which is a fun way to meet people and stay caffeinated! Outside of school and work, I’m a huge aquarium lover—I have four tanks and love the calm they bring to my space. I also have my pup, Merlin—equal parts cuddle expert, full-time goofball, and the best study buddy a student could ask for.
