Meet your Tutor

"Hello, Bobcats!

My name is Wafa, and I am a math tutor at the Academic Achievement Center.

I love traveling, cooking, and reading, but most of all I love math! I know that many students struggle with math; but, with a determined mindset and an engaging peer tutoring session, I believe we can turn math from your least favorite into your most favorite subject (plus, it’s free)!"
