Previous experience as a tutor: This is my first time officially being a tutor. As a student, I've always been the person to go to for help on programming assignments, and I look forward to guiding you guys and learning with you all!
"I'm a 4th year undergrad statistics major and I've always had good results in my programming classes. My secret has been excessive amounts of Googling and digging through the depths of Stack Exchange, and I hope this translates to me being an effective tutor! Outside of my office hours you'll most definitely catch me at the gym."

Major: Mathematics and Statistics
Previous experience as a Tutor: "I helped teach an Introductory Web Development workshop back home, however this is my first official Tutor Experience :D"
"I am a 4th year undergrad and this is my first time tutoring for INT 15, however I am very excited to be a part of this class, and I hope to be of help in any way I can! Also, I like to eat my eggs with too much hot sauce, my favorite band is The Marías, and I probably spent way more time playing Pokèmon as a kid than I should have."

Major: Physics
Previous experience as a Tutor: First time tutoring! But let's just say I'm active between Github issues and on Slack.
"I'm a 3rd year undergrad doing research in high energy physics where we deal with ~TB of data in the analysis. Even though it's my first time tutoring a class, I hope my experience in science collaboration and debugging various Python / *NIX problems will be helpful in INT 15 labs! Also ask me anything about Vim :D"
