I am a very independent worker and really enjoyed my time with Cristina as my workshop tutor for MATH1015. Though I never needed to ask for help, I always felt very supported in her workshops. She was encouraging of students to come in for however long they needed, even if only to grab the worksheet and solutions and leave, and she never seemed to mind the fluctuating attendance rates (I was once one of three students who attended a workshop one day). I never felt judged for leaving early, skipping a workshop, or doing other work in her workshop, which meant a lot to me as I was often swamped with work and highly stressed. The kindness she showed me really benefited my overall wellbeing and encouraged me to keep going. Thank you Cristina!
Very supportive and kind. Always attentive and non judgemental.
