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.

Jennifer Denning
Advanced Tutor
CHEM
ENGR
My name is Jennifer Denning, and I have been a tutor at SCC for over two years! I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UC Davis, but I earned my Associate's in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics from SCC in the spring of 2026. I believe every student should have the resources to exceed academically, and I always do my absolute best to tailor each tutoring session to a tutee’s needs. My favorite aspect of tutoring is watching my tutees build their technical skills and confidence to pursue STEM careers. In addition to school, I enjoy cooking, baking, watching movies, exploring the outdoors, and playing with my two cats!

Daniel Gonzalez
Student Tutor
MATH 300, 340, 342, 355, 356, 372, 373, 375, 386, 400, 401, 402, 410, 420
MATHS, 10, 40, 42, 60, 65, 70, 71, 86, 95
In 2020, I left the University of California, Santa Cruz, because high school had not adequately prepared me for college-level math. Soon after, I enrolled at SCC, restarted my math journey, used school resources such as tutoring, and formed study groups. If you are a returning student, I encourage you to enroll in MATHS 10, make the most of campus resources like the LRC, and form study groups. My goal is to support students by sharing useful study strategies and techniques and encouraging consistent practice. Today, I am pursuing an Electrical/Computer Engineering Degree and plan to transfer to UC Davis.
