Hi! My name is Noah, and I am from Poulsbo, Washington. I am a senior double-majoring in Psychology and Business Leadership, and I am also a part of the Coolidge-Otis-Chapman honors program here on campus. I am a member of the men's soccer team, so I understand how hard it can be to balance your time, in addition to the books. In my free time, I love to listen to music (almost anything with good guitar), take pictures, and walk/hike. I look forward to working with you!

Alex, CWL Subject Tutor

Alex

Hi! I’m Alex (he/him), a senior majoring in Biochemistry and Mathematics. I’m from Beijing, China, but I love living in Tacoma. I love anything with wheels—especially bikes and cars (but not skateboards, because I fell pretty badly a couple of times!). When I’m not in class or tutoring, you’ll probably find me cooking, biking around, or playing card games and random Switch games with my housemates. There’s so much in the world to discover, and I think a great place to start is with ourselves—by exploring the fascinating biochemistry that keeps us alive and learning every day.

Cal, CWL Subject Tutor

Cal

Hey there! My name is Cal, and I’m a senior Biochemistry major with a minor in Mathematics from Danville, California. Around campus, you can find me studying with my BFF Lungie, playing hacky sack with the Logger Baseball team at the field, or listening to music performances at Schneebeck and Kilworth. Outside of UPS, I love to fly fish with my Dad, play guitar with friends, and go on day trips to Seattle to find good food. Whenever I’m struggling to understand something in class, I’ve found that getting my thoughts out into words with someone else makes a huge difference, so feel free to stop by and we’ll work through it together! I’ve also got some studying tips that I've picked up along the way that I would love to share. Chemistry is hard, but we got this!!!

Classes Taken: CHEM 110, 120, 250 (Scharrer), 251 (Scharrer), 231, 340, 363, 371, 420, 460, 461, BIOL 212 (Johnson), BIOL 213 (Thynes)

While I absolutely love chemistry, I’ve had my fair share of issues with it before. So, if you don’t mind wacky analogies and silly drawings, don’t hesitate to drop by with any questions you have or just to chat! You got this!
