Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

I'm a Literature major studying a Bachelor of Arts, this is my third degree. I graduated as a registered nurse in 2009 from QUT in Brisbane and I'm now completing my Masters of Counselling course at the same time as my Arts degree.

My best piece of study advice (from the experience of changing courses four times before finding the Arts course at CDU), is study what you are passionate about. If you're not passionate about your course, you won't have the motivation to complete your assignments.

I am currently studying electrical and electronics engineering internally through the Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering. I developed an interest in electrical engineering when working as a technician in Defence.

I am looking forward to supporting CUC106 students succeed in their studies through group study sessions.

I am studying a Bachelor of Education Graduate Entry (BEDGE)  - Primary stream.

This is my 3rd year studying part time.

I have been PASS leader for EMA100 for three semesters.

I love seeing students go from being petrified about maths to being confident and highly successful.

I am currently in my second year of the Bachelor of Psychological Science at CDU. I am interested in pursuing a career in clinical psychology.

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was young. Following my experiences at medical appointments I knew that helping people mentally, instead of physically, was the right path for me. I find that with each passing semester I become even more passionate and driven to get out there and help people feel more mentally secure.

Rachel Tuthill is dedicated to enhancing the personal growth of others by helping them develop  an academic voice. Rachel’s study journey began as a mature age student.  Over the course of several years she became curious as to why people make decisions that are harmful to themselves in stressful situations.  This was the starting point to enrol in a Bachelor of Psychological Science.  Now three years along in her course Rachel is looking forward to finishing her undergraduate studies to have a positive influence in people’s lives.  

Hi, my name is Kate and I am studying a Batchelor of Social Work degree, full time externally from Darwin, NT.

As a mature age student, a wife, and mother to three children, I understand the importance of time management skills and effective study methods.

I am looking forward to supporting and working with SOC145 students to develop their study skills in a fun, relaxed, and friendly environment.

I'm an education student (Secondary Maths) with many years of teaching experience. I can identify with the challenges of juggling external study, work, raising a family and keeping sane! I love journeying with people in learning, as learning is social. Humour also helps for memory retention, so I try to find fun ways to understand and remember maths. I like to incorporate study and motivational tips in my sessions and actively involve participants. See you in a session soon!

Due to unforeseen circumstances PASS sessions for HSC210 are cancelled for the rest of semester.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

I am studying a Bachelor of Nursing as an external student while living in Canberra, and have just commenced my second year. I previously lived in Darwin and studied my first year as an internal student at the Casuarina Campus. Prior to commencing my studies, I worked in a variety of executive administration and management positions over 7 years. When I felt I had reached my full potential within this career, I decided to change careers and become a Nurse, so that I could help others and learn new skills, while integrating skills I had already obtained from my previous career.

I am excited to be studying Nursing and am passionate about sharing my knowledge, skills and experiences with others.

I look forward to seeing you in PASS and can’t wait to help you achieve personal and academic success!
