 The Academic Achievement Center staff and tutors wish to congratulate our math, science, and engineering tutor Stephanie Shevenock, who has been selected as the 2011 AAC Tutor of the Year.
The tutor of the year award recognizes the outstanding contributions of a student tutor who fulfills the AAC’s mission to educate, empower, and inspire fellow students to become independent and successful lifelong learners. Nominees for the award are judged based on their ability to facilitate student learning, their creativity and initiative in executing tutoring sessions, and their modeling of academic integrity and enthusiasm for learning.
Stephanie just finished her junior year in Mechanical Engineering. Her professional goal is to become a researcher in aerodynamics and to teach at a university. In addition to tutoring at the AAC, Stephanie is an active member in many on campus organizations including the LTU AeroDesign competition team and the Scholars Program.
Stephanie is one of only four Michigan undergraduate engineering students awarded the 2011 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Aeronautics Scholarships. She is the only female and the only awardee not attending University of Michigan.
Stephanie has an excellent knowledge in her field, is dedicated, and has a strong desire to help our students. One of her tutees wrote: “Stephanie always does her best to help us whenever we ask. She breaks down the problem for us and explains what she is doing every step of the way. … Stephanie is not just a good tutor, she is a natural teacher.”
Congratulations Stephanie!
