Elizabeth Busekrus

Hometown: O'fallon, Illinois

Major/Minor: English major with a writing concentration, Religion minor, and Spanish minor

Favorite Place to Study: At the Perk!

Early Riser or Night Owl: A Night Owl for sure!

I am dreading... Journalism class because I am more of a lengthy paper writer than a short paper writer.

I enjoy being a tutor because...it's is a great opportunity for me to further develop my writing and speaking skills in Spanish and English. Plus, I have a passion for both of these languages! I want to instill that passion into others in hopes that they will gain a greater appreciation for English and Spanish.

Joshua Smith

Hometown: Manchester, Missouri

Major/Minor: English, with a Religion minor

Favorite Place to Study: Anywhere quiet and secluded.  Concentrating is hard enough without lots of people around.

Early Riser or Night Owl: I like the idea of getting up early in the morning, but sometimes that just doesn't happen.

My favorite classes... so far have been any of my literature classes.  I love reading books (not textbooks) so any class that lets me do that is okay by me.

I enjoy being a tutor because... I like the feeling of helping others understand.  I enjoy showing people what they are capable of and equipping them to tap into their full potential.
