Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

PASS Sessions For ACT102 have been cancelled for the rest of semester.

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.

Alex Nathan

I started studying Engineering with CDU while working full-time and living in Perth. Eventually I came to my senses, quit work and moved to Darwin. I’m really pleased to be leading PASS for Statics because it is an important unit that can set students up for a successful path through their Engineering degree.

All Statics students are invited to join the PASS sessions and work together towards great results. Look forward to seeing you!

Toby Snaire

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.

I am an external student, studying part time from rural Victoria. After an extended absence from study, I completed the Tertiary Enabling Program before commencing a Bachelor of Psychological Science in 2016. I currently run external PASS sessions for 'Introduction to Psychology' A and B.

Alicia Follet.

I am studying a Bachelor of Nursing as an internal student here in Darwin. After working in the Information Technology / Banking arena for 30 years, I made the choice to ‘escape’ and act of my long time desire and passion to embark on a career that helps others.  I am passionate about simplification! Make sure you talk to me about ‘Active Recall’ and ‘Spaced Repetition’. The understanding and utilisation of these two concepts = better memory retention!

I’m really looking forward to working with you to enable you to achieve your academic goals!

Sheri Lochner

I am a second year Bachelor of Clinical Sciences student starting Medicine (Northern Territory Medical Program) next year. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with my peers. Chemistry being one of my favourite subjects, I look forward to having informative and enjoyable PASS sessions. 

Senuri Pinto

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!

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.
