Undergraduate Teaching Assistants A summary of the subjects tutored by the individuals below can be found here Christopher Haggar: Hi everyone! I am a student in the Post-Bacc program here at WPU. I completed my undergraduate degree in Public Health and would like to attend medical school. I am passionate about teaching and helping other succeed! More importantly, one of my biggest goals as a tutor is to help demystify the science courses that students tend to struggle with most by trying to make the material and concepts fun to learn. In addition, I would love to do nothing more than help minimize the anxiety students can have when it comes to learning about the sciences, much like I had/have, by helping them build confidence at the same time. Outside of school, I work as a medical scribe at an emergency department and I enjoy running, staying active, cooking and learning new things! Ethan Acosta: Hello everyone! My name is Ethan Acosta, I am a junior here at William Paterson University and I am a biology major. While I specialize in biology I can also help to some degree with organic chemistry. I speak both English and Spanish in case anyone feels comfortable speaking either of those languages. Some personal interests of mine include learning about medicine and human anatomy as well as learning about space and anything about astronomy in general. Some hobbies of mine include photography, reading, as well as exercising and painting. Let’s all work together and have a great semester. Jackie Lee: I am a nursing student in William Paterson University, graduating 2024. I used to work as a general chemistry, organic chemistry, general biology TA in EWHA woman's University and City College in San Francisco. I love sharing study-hacks that I used to use, and my notes. I am looking forward to meeting you guys! Jeanette Hudak: Hi! My name is Jeanette Hudak, and I graduate in Spring '25. I am a general biology major with a history and mathematics minor, and I want to go into industry research when I graduate. I began tutoring cell bio, general physiology and EEB at the SEC spring '24 and I have been a SI for EEB since Fall '22. I am also a substitute teacher so I have plenty of experience in helping others understand their course material! Mathew Nieves: I am a Biology major graduating in 2024 and I am looking to apply to medical school once I graduate. Outside of school I work part time as a medical assistant at a local clinic. Like most of the other faculty members I also enjoy learning quite a bit. I want to make it a point that I was not always the best student and beyond just the subject related knowledge, I have to learn how to become a better student as well. Be it specific subjects or just study tips and tricks, I'd love to help. Patricia Gwozdz: Hi, my name is Patricia and I am a nursing and psychology major graduating in May 2025. I currently work with adolescent girls who have eating disorders and plan to continue working in a psychiatric setting after graduation. My strengths are Anatomy and Physiology, specifically Advanced A&P. I do my best to make concepts understandable and easy to recall in order to make tests and other material less stress-inducing and help students reach success. 🙂 Tyler Sanchez: I am a fourth-year biology major with a pre-med concentration, and I will be attending medical school in August of 2024. I have been working as an EMT since 2022 and have been in EMS since 2018. My freshman year at WPU I was an SI for Dr. Arnone's BIO 1630 class and have been tutoring at the Science Enrichment Center since 2021. My goal is to not only be able to help students understand course material better in order to succeed in their classes, but also spark their interest in the subject that they are learning about.
