Why do you tutor for BSP?

Throughout my academic career, I found that two things contribute to my success. The first is being part of a community (whether that be educational, cultural, or otherwise), and the second is having a mentor figure in my life. And BSP truly embraces these two things and equips BSPers like me with both. This is the main reason why I chose to tutor for BSP; I want to give back to the community that continues to guide and encourage folks of all different backgrounds to reach their optimal potential. I hope to bring these qualities to the Chemistry 3B study group and look forward to providing additional academic support.

What is your favorite class so far?

My favorite class I have taken at Cal would be BUDDSTD C50: Introduction to the Study of Buddhism. This course was my first proper introduction to Berkeley-level lectures, writing, and discussions. I enjoyed the various conversations on the history of Buddhism, the many schools of Buddhism, and the different beliefs that make up such a complex and diverse religion. I highly recommend this course to anyone even slightly interested in Buddhism or looking for a class with applicable material!
