Nicole Gendusa
Los Angeles, CA

University of California-Los Angeles Graduate

I studied history throughout my entire college career. I was exposed to a vast selection of history courses that impacted me greatly. I focused exclusively on the U.S. from the migration of Native American settlements until the end of Nixon's term and Southeast Asia from Spanish colonization in the Philippines until the Fall of Saigon. I am also well versed in the history of the Soviet Union and Nazi medical practices during that time including the Nuremberg trials. All of my history courses included having extensive knowledge of English and grammar skills. I am proficient in writing research papers, novel papers, and creative writing. I can help out students with skills in active reading and note taking. Many struggle to pull out important information because they get lost in the details. I have experience with writing biographies and autobiographies as well. I have a keen eye for detail and enjoy teaching students how to navigate dense material. There are many uncommon terms, irregular word usage, and Old English references that may be challenging for students to grasp. My main take away I want my students to have is developing critical thinking skills that last throughout their academic career. As a tutor, I am able to create an enjoyable learning environment that fosters absorption of important information while maintaining positivity and patience. Everyone has a different learning style and should never feel inadequate if they need some extra help!

Karina Gasca
Los Angeles, CA

UC Student Tutor

Ever since I was a young child, I have always been passionate about writing and literature. Anything related to English was my favorite since it was what I was best at. I love to read books and short stories, write poems and essays and analyze different works of literature. Throughout high school, I received A’s for all my English-related courses and achieved a 3 on both final exams for Advanced Placement English Language and Composition and Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition. Being the daughter of two immigrant Spanish-speaking parents and witnessing them work hard to learn English, I understand the struggles that come from learning a completely different language. I also know what it is like to need extra help with some academic subjects, as someone who has always struggled with grasping certain information myself. Because of this, I'm passionate about seeing others succeed and I look forward to assisting individuals in learning to love English while overcoming their challenges. Overall, I have personal experience participating with children k-12. ‌I‌ ‌have‌ ‌had the opportunity to work with students from my middle school and high school to assist them in their academic advancements by tutoring them after school, helping with homework assignments, and walking them through problems during class. Likewise, I have engaged with toddlers in a home setting, ensuring a safe, clean environment while including them in interactive learning activities. For example, I would help them sound out words, practice skills - like coloring, and build reading and talking proficiency.

Ava Brackett
Long Beach, CA

Recent graduate from CSULB BCCM with a Bachelor's in Music Composition.

I have been studying music for most of my life. I started by playing the violin in elementary school. Also, the school would introduce music to classrooms by teaching the classes songs and having the classes perform these songs. I enjoyed my experience with music in elementary school, and it encouraged me to keep playing violin in middle school and high school. I decided I wanted to pursue a career involving music. I decided to go to Long Beach City College to Major in music in the hopes of becoming a music therapist. I took theory, musicianship, history, performance classes and private lessons during my time at LBCC. I then transferred to California State University, Long Beach in 2021, and received a Bachelor's in Music Composition. At CSULB, I took advanced music theory and history courses, orchestration, media scoring, performance ensembles, and violin and composition lessons. As a General Music instructor, I want to explain the different instruments of the orchestra, instruments in pop music, brief music history, how to read music, and music cultures. I am also open to explaining and discussing anything music related my students want to discuss, and can hopefully answer any questions they have always been confused about. I want my students to have fun during class and appreciate music even more after coming out of my lessons. I can also tutor for any non-music major music class in high school or college.
