Mr. Garrish is Law’s Math and English tutor. His office is located in the TLC and is open all day for students to use for help on homework, an assignment, a project, or just to come and hang out. Advocate Editor Shane Cepalia (with help from sophomore EJ Fisher) interviewed Garrish on his experience at Law.

Cepalia/Fisher: What made you want to become a tutor?

Mr. Garrish: After I graduated college with a math degree, I got a job as a preschool teacher for two years. It was great; I loved that job very, very much. But then Mr. Pellagi, one of my good friends outside of school, let me know they were hiring a tutor position and I thought it would be great to build relationships with kids.

SC/EF: How long have you been at Law?

MG: I think my first day was February 12th last year, so almost a year.

SC/EF: If you couldn’t be a tutor, what would you be?

MG: I don’t know, I would like to do something with music. I would still want to work with kids in some capacity.

SC/EF: What are your goals for this year?

MG: To keep kids coming in here more consistently and to not have as many “oh crap” moments from students.

SC/EF: What is your favorite subject to teach?

MG: Maybe Algebra 1.
