Kim M. Tsai

Tuka served as a Teaching Associate for my Child Development course for two semesters. She assisted with the grading of assignments, and provided constructive and encouraging feedback to students. Tuka also facilitated exam reviews which students found to be engaging and informative. During the pandemic, Tuka showed great compassion for the challenges that students were facing, and reached out to students individually to see how she could support them. It was a pleasure working with Tuka!
