Meet the Writing Tutors

With the fall semester going strong, it's a good time to meet our writing tutors and to learn more about the tutoring services available for free to all Atlantic Cape students. 

 

Hello, my name is Shawna Beals-Rivera.  I graduated from Cumberland County College, Stockton University and Drexel University. I am currently a 2nd grade teacher for a public school. Of course, I am also a tutor for Atlantic Cape Community College. I tutor in reading and writing. I also tutor English Language Learners as well. In my spare time, l love to read, draw, shop, go to the movies/concerts, and spend time with my family. 

 

 

 

 

 

Gabby Bibus, writing tutor, graduated from Stockton University in May 2021 with a double major in Literature and Languages & Culture Studies and a minor in French. For the 2022-2023 school year, she lived in northern France where she worked as an English Language Assistant. Now that she's back in the US, she works as a substitute teacher at a technical high school while tutoring for ACCC on the weekends. She also writes articles for Fandom Spotlite. Her hobbies include watching anime, listening to music, and reading. Lastly and most importantly, she lives on a farm with over 80 goats!

 

 

 

 

 

From 2017 - 2020, I attended Stockton University, where I was a peer writing tutor and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Literature. Since then, I developed an interest in higher education and started my career at Stockton University in 2021. As of 2023, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Instructional Technology and hope to continue expanding my career in higher education. I am a writing tutor with Atlantic Cape and, in my free time, enjoy playing video games and spoiling my cat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoy art to the fullest. I have a tattoo shop where I work in that medium, a studio there where I do side projects which include sculpting, painting, and as outlandish things such as making prosthetics for movies. I graduated from Atlantic Cape with a dual degree in Studio Arts and Digital Design. I am working towards my bachelors and will be looking to work as an instructor online for college art.  I have worked for several comic companies, tattoo shops, magazines and have done advertising and marketing in the past. I tutor art appreciation, interpersonal communication as well as visual communication. 

I am currently working on movie props for a local horror/sci-fi movie being produced, and am trying to balance that between work, school and tutoring! I know things are hectic, but I’m always here to help!

 

 

 

 

 

I am Carol Lott, and I have been a Writing Tutor at the college for many years both on campus and online, and I enjoy working with students in both settings.  When we began to offer online classes several years ago, the concept was rather new, and the college wanted to provide online students with the same services as the students who attended classes on campus. With many changes in life circumstances, I transitioned to online tutoring only, and I continue to enjoy my interactions with the students I meet online.  My family consists of my husband and two adult children who live out of the area.  I received my degree in Sociology with a Gerontology concentration from Stockton College.  I found that knowledge helpful as I cared for my mother with Parkinson's for ten years.The knowledge we acquire can be used both in a career and daily life.  When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking and traveling.  I am always up for quick day trips to  the Philadelphia area, exploring New Jersey and New York.   A change of scenery does wonders for one's perspective on life. 

 

 

 

 

My name is Nanette Stuart and I am happy to be starting my second year as an Atlantic Cape Community College Tutor. I came to ACCC in March 2023 following my retirement from the educational arena after 29 years of service.  Prior to retirement, I worked as an administrator (Vice-Principal then Principal) for 16 years in the Pleasantville Public School District.  My administrative experience came primarily from working with middle and high school populations, though I did service all grade levels as a district administrator for 5 years. I also taught English Language Arts to middle school students for 10 years while simultaneously working in the evenings for 5 of those years to provide ESL instruction to adults.  Given my background, I am confident that I bring a wealth of knowledge that can assist any student; though I would particularly be able to service those learners who need help in the areas of English Language Arts and Writing.  If you need help and think I might be the right person to offer guidance and provide support when working on those college level assignments, please seek me out!
During my free time I enjoy concerts, traveling, the theater (both watching and being on stage), using my creative talents, and spending time with my young daughter and family.  When it’s all said and done, it’s enjoying doing things you love that make all of life’s experiences worthwhile!

 

 

 

 

Hello world! I graduated from ACCC with an Engineering A.S. degree in 2019 and started tutoring the same semester. Currently, I am working towards an Electrical Engineering B.S. degree in Arizona State University's online program. My studies are concentrated in electric power and energy systems, meaning power generation, distribution, and utilization. 

I love all things mechanical, like old cars and clocks! I have spent the past number of years, blood, sweat, and tears, slowly rebuilding a disheveled Jeep TJ. For a few years, I worked at a small delicatessen in Brigantine where I had an opportunity to operate and maintain a plethora of interesting machines like slicers, grinders, and saws. I also love gardening and the resulting fruits of labor. And, yes the beautiful sunflowers are from my garden.

I am available to provide assistance with courses in mathematics, physics, engineering, and programming in C++. Feel free to reach out any time!
