Drop-in Tutoring
MESA offers free peer tutoring and mentoring in our MESA Community Center on a drop-in basis. View the tutoring schedule here.
Power Hour
In Spring 2024, MESA offers weekly study groups for students in Math 109, Math 123, Chem 114, Chem 131, Chem 232, and Bio 110. These small groups are facilitated by faculty members, instructional specialists, and peer tutors. Email nmcintyre@marin.edu for more information.
Mentoring
MESA aims to create a community and facilitate members learning from each other. One of the best ways we all learn is through conversation. In future semesters, the MESA Mentorship Program aims to connects students with a College of Marin mentor to share knowledge with while practicing networking, communication, and professional skills.

Major: Biology
Tutoring in Bio 110, 110L, 112B, 112C; Chem 114, 131, 132, 231; and Math 109
It is my third year attending College of Marin. My goal is to obtain my Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology at UC Berkeley and teach at a university or community college level. I am excited to be part of the MESA program as a tutor and mentor this semester, and I look forward to working with others and helping them achieve their goals.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, gardening, and tending to my many houseplants, my favorite being my monstera deliciosa.

Hi, I’m Sam. I’m currently a 3rd year at College of Marin and looking to transfer next year (2024/2025). This is also my third semester working for MESA, and I’m excited to see it grow. I have a lot of interests outside of school including fitness, martial arts, music, and a lot more. I’m excited to what this semester brings and can’t wait to meet y’all.

I like tinkering with things from electronic to mechanical to virtual. I have a few more semesters at COM. My hardest class so far was calculus. I’m looking forward to tutoring in the fall. I really enjoy teaching programming.
