Meet a Tutor

Sam

Hello everyone! My name is Sam, and I am a Junior here at Mizzou majoring in English!
When I’m away from the books, I love cooking, hiking, and exploring Columbia. I’m originally from the Chicago suburbs, so for me, it feels as though there’s always something new to discover.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all and being a part of your writing journey this semester!
