One of my jobs was to give feedback on students’ homework and they were always so thankful. The first time someone requested a tutoring session with me to discuss my comments, I was really nervous. But she was really kind and after our session, she passed the class!

Working with Scalabrini was very different from my previous experiences. I learned about time management and professional communication skills. But more importantly, I learned how to really love and dedicate myself to work because everyone there was so passionate.
