Maximillian Venskus
Peer Writing Tutor, Academic Coach
(he/him)
Maximillian is a Peer Writing Tutor, Academic Coach, and Note Taker as well as a former SI Leader. Among the course he tutors are writing, communications, and public speaking. He is currently seeking to attain an Associates degree in History from Bergen Community College and has plans to pursue even higher degrees, focusing on Ancient Roman history and education. He hopes to one day become a college professor, and views his work at the CLAC as central to this goal. He seeks to use his student’s time efficiently and effectively, so that students walk away knowing their tutor sees them as an equal.
Maximillian’s learning support philosophy centers on making sure students feel truly competent so that they can better tackle any challenges that higher education presents them with.
