Tutors: Business & Math (Embedded & Individual)

Hey! I'm glad you're here. 

I am studying Business Information Systems and computer science at OSU/LBCC. I was born and raised in Oregon, so my favorite hobby is skiing on Mt. Hood. When I'm not skiing, you can find me with a book in my hand or at OSU's yoga studio. 

I currently tutor BA 275 (Quantitative Methods) and MTH 251 (Differential Equations). My favorite part about tutoring is connecting with my peers! During our session, we'll spend the first few minutes getting to know each other and your goals. After that, the hour is yours to ask me questions and we'll review whatever content you'd like to go over. My goal is to help each student who meets with me leave feeling confident and satisfied. Sometimes, this may take more than one meeting. But I believe you will get there! 

I look forward to meeting you and helping you take the next step toward your success!

I'm Melissa, a Bio/Zoology major hoping to focus on cat research after graduation. I love baking and crafting, especially cookies and crocheting. My dream job would be to run a cat cafe! I'm currently tutoring in MTH112 and below. 

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: Art & Education

My name is Renea (ruh-nay) and I am a mid-westerner from the mitten of Michigan who grew up in a small rural town and somehow landed in an even smaller rural town in Oregon almost 20 years ago. I firmly believe in the importance of second chances, and third chances and as many as it takes to get it "right." I love music and language arts. I find so much freedom of expression through the written word and I really appreciate that professors often give us students opportunities to showcase who we are and what is important to us in their classes. I work full time as a high school instructional assistant which led me to pursue going back to school to become a high school language arts teacher. I got into education as a career choice with the pure desire to support students. I value supporting students in their education as well as outside of the classroom as individuals.  

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: Art (Embedded & Individual)

Hello, my name is Sarah Rose and I would love to help you reach your goals this term! I am working on completing my BFA in Photography from Oregon State and am doing so through the Dual Partnership Program (DDP) with LBCC and OSU. I love LB so much and my experience here has galvanized my path. While enrolled at LB I work as the Photo Editor for The Commuter, our student run magazine here on campus. I have the honor of working alongside the amazing staff at the Commuter and have gained valuable experience doing photo assignments for both print and online publications. Some of the Adobe products I feel confident in that may benefit you for tutoring are: Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, CameraRaw, and Bridge. I love shooting sports, and portraits, as well as telling a story or creating meaningful artistic work through photography. My favorite Adobe tool is probably the clipping mask, my favorite food is a good burger (from Squirrels in Corvallis), my favorite activity is paddle boarding, and the last thing I learned was how to wake surf. I would love to meet you to hear how your class is going and hopefully increase your confidence in the subject!

My name is Savannah & I am an Anthropology and Journalism major. Some of my many goals include: getting a PhD in all three social sciences, becoming a polyglot, traveling the world, becoming a published author, helping spread awareness of the many human rights injustices that occur every day, and to empower others to use their passion and strengths to help others. 

In my free time I love to attend arts and cultural events, write, paint and practice photography. I have a passion for cinema, video games and anime. I enjoy watching moves and analyzing them with my partner or reimagining them. I also enjoy gaming - Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, and Fallout are my favourite series. 

I have many passions and love learning about practically every subject, but above all I want to travel the world and learn about our histories, cultures and traditions first hand.

Tutors: Cell Bio, A&P, Microbiology

Hi, I’m Shianne! I’m currently working toward getting into the Diagnostic Imaging program here at LBCC.
