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.

Leticia Rangel
Advanced ASL Tutor
DEAF 310, 312, 314
My name is Leticia, I am Hearing, and I am excited to be one of your tutors this semester! I am an American Sign Language and Deaf Studies major at Sac State, but my ASL learning career started at SCC/ARC. I completed ASL 1-5 with Los Rios, and I continue to learn more about and interact with the Deaf community at CSUS! Learning about and understanding other cultures is so important! I first wanted to start learning ASL as a way to make sure I would be able to communicate effectively with my future patients, as well as make sure that they felt heard and listened to. ASL is a beautiful and fun language to learn, and I hope you all love it as much as I do :)
