Get to Know a Tutor: Ryan Mbagna-Nanko
One of our Appointment Tutors at the Academic Success Center
Hello Retrievers!
Tutoring is up and running for Spring 2020! You know about our services, but let's learn a bit about the people who make it happen with our Get to Know series!
Today's tutor is Ryan Mbagna-Nanko! Ryan is a Mechanical Engineering major at UMBC. In addition to working at the Math and Science Tutoring Center, Ryan also is available to tutor by appointment for PHYS 122.
Hey Ryan! Tell us what else you do on campus!
I’m a teaching fellow for Dynamics as well as a member of the NSBE. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer so I’m also a member of the intramural soccer team.
Why did you get involved with the Academic Success Center?
I was recommended by the professor to be a resource. I felt that I was social and relatable since I struggled a little bit in the beginning of the course. Because I sought out that help from my professor, I was able to do better.
Why do you love your job?
I enjoy that high of working with people and collaboration, improving their confidence in their subject. I enjoy that interaction and seeing people progress and understand the material. Seeing that before and after is motivating!
Ideal pizza and why?
It’s gotta be spicy, for sure! It can be breakfast pizza, with eggs and cheese. It has to have hot sauce on it and it has to have extra jalapenos. You can even swap out the marinara sauce with hot sauce, and I will eat it!
Thanks, Ryan for letting us get to know you!
Find Ryan in the Math and Science Tutoring Center or book an appointment with him today!

We made it through the first week of the semester, so let's talk about a great resource that can help you be successful: SI PASS!
SI Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are weekly review sessions led by trained student leaders. Not only have SI PASS leaders succeeded in the course before, but they also attend classes along with you so they can help you be successful.
The best way to find out more about SI PASS is to attend a session! SI PASS exists for select BIOL, CHEM, ECON, MATH, PHYS, and SPAN courses. For session times, please check with your SI PASS leader.
SI PASS allows students to interact with the material in dynamic ways. Sessions allow students to compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and prepare for tests.
Do you love SI PASS? Tell us about it in the comments!
