Angela Davis
Instructional Assistant - Writing Tutor for all subjects and all levels
Hi! My name is Angela Davis, and I am an Instructional Assistant at the Learning Resource Center for the SCC Davis Center. I started working for the Writing Center back in 2008 as a student tutor and eventually became an Instructional Assistant. I tutor all levels of writing for all subjects. I also teach workshops and have worked in classrooms alongside professors. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from CSUS in 2015 with a B.A. in Art Studio. I have never worked so hard in my life, but it was worth it. I am the first person in my family to graduate from college. I have always had a knack for English, and I enjoy helping people learn it. Some random stuff about me: when I am not tutoring, I run a small art business, spend time with my family, and jam on my planner. I also love reading, playing Animal Crossing, playing DND, making kawaii crafts, and I have a huge toy collection.

Hello everyone! My name is Chloe (she/her/hers) and I am currently an English major at SCC. I have tutored a lot of my peers back in high school through a program known as Leadership, and I am just as excited to get the opportunity to work with all of you!

Jenna Kieffer
Chemistry Tutor - CHEM 300, 305, 400, 401
Hey everyone! My name is Jenna Kieffer, and I am an SCC student and a Chemistry Tutor for the SCC Davis Center. This is my third year at Sac City, and I am planning on transferring to UC Davis in Fall 2025 for Pharmaceutical Chemistry! In my free time I like to rock climb and do yoga with friends as well as crochet and woodwork. In the two and a half years I have been an SCC student, I’ve taken nearly every chemistry class offered at the Davis Center as well as earned my Intermediate Chemical Technician Certificate and interned in the Davis Center Lab Stockroom. Through this I have been able to discover a love for chemistry, but I also discovered just how insanely difficult the subject can be. It takes a lot of dedication to learn chemistry, and I hope as a tutor I can help you discover how you as a student learn best and teach you some of my strategies for not just learning and passing chemistry but understanding it on a deeper level. Community College has taught me so much through all my mistakes and triumphs. But above all, it has taught me that the hardest things in life are the things that are worth doing the most.

John Yarbrough
Advanced Writing Tutor
Hi all! My name is John (he/him/his) and I am currently a fourth-year English major at UC Davis. I have had a love for all things writing and reading for as long as I can remember, and have always believed that where there is a problem, a solution can always be found. Poetry and creative writing are great passions of mine; I self-published my first poetic chapbook in 2023 and am currently writing my second book of poetry. I also have a lot of experience in research and writing about literature. Though, I know not everyone may be as keen on writing papers and reading old literature, and that’s okay! That is why I’m here for all of you, and I will always be more than happy to support you however I can! I look forward to meeting and working with you all!
