The GOAT of Tutoring
As I finish my last final tonight and get ready to graduate next week, I really wanted to write this before the moment passed. I can honestly say I would not have made it through my MBA program with the GPA I have without Willie. Willie helped get me through some of the toughest classes in my program, especially Finance and ISDS. I worked with him every week during my second and fourth semesters, and those sessions became one of the most important parts of my routine. He has so much patience and such a calm, steady way of teaching that things never felt overwhelming, even when I was stressed out and completely lost. What makes Willie special is that he knows how to actually teach people. There were so many moments where he explained concepts in a way that made more sense to me than what I got in class. He made difficult material feel approachable and never made me feel dumb for asking questions. Everything felt paced in a way that helped me build confidence instead of panic. On top of that, he is just a genuinely good person to be around. We laughed a lot during sessions and he always kept things real. That balance of being supportive while still pushing me to do better made a huge difference during grad school. Some weeks, those tutoring sessions were honestly the best part of the experience. I owe a lot of my success and my GPA to Willie. He helped me stay afloat during the hardest semesters of my MBA and played a huge role in helping me get to the finish line. As I sit here preparing for my final exam tonight and graduation next week, I just feel incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. Thank you, Willie. I advance with gratitude. Best, E.
