Davis Writing Center Tutors

Staff

My name is Dana Armstrong, and I am the faculty coordinator of the West Sacramento Writing Center. My education began at Modesto Junior College where I took advantage of several work- and study-abroad programs. I eventually transferred to U.C. Berkeley where I studied Comparative Literature. After graduating, I lived in Mexico for five months, studying Spanish and traveling around the country. I earned my graduate degree from U.C. Davis and have also taken Composition courses at San Francisco State University. I began my teaching career at Chabot College in Hayward and now have been teaching at Sacramento City College for nearly twenty years.

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! I love to write, specifically poetry, and hope to be published one day. I have been acting since I was four, and I continue to work as a film actress when I can. Creative writing and research are some of my strong suits when tutoring. I am more than happy to talk about your topic and to be there to support you where you need me. Whether we are meeting online or in person, I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and hear your lovely thoughts!
