Maria J. Renteria STEM/Math Center Coordinator
I got my AA degree from L. A. Mission College in June 2002 and transferred to CSUN. I completed my BA and Teaching Credential in 2005 but decided to continue working at Mission. The Math Center opened its doors in the Spring 2006 semester and I was given the title of Academic Support Coordinator. Since then I have been lucky to work with faculty, counselors, and administrators to provide the much needed support before and after class that YOU, the students, deserve. With the support of the STEM Program, we have new equipment and many plans to increase your access to academic support. Come and let us know how we can make our services better!

My name is Sherie Nelson and I am part of the Los Angeles Mission College Stem team. I have a bachelor's and a single subject credential in math. I enjoy having the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise of this subject with anyone who will listen. My goal is to make mathematics a pleasurable subject for all the individuals in the lab this semester.

Kevin Balas Supplemental Instructor
Hi all, my name is Kevin Balas. I received my bachelors in mathematics from CSUN in 2011, where I am currently working as a TA while studying for my masters in pure mathematics. I've been tutoring on and off since the late 90s, both privately and in school labs. I took about an 8 year break from mathematics, so some information can take a while to come back, but I'll do my best to help with any questions you have.
Schedule: Tuesday 11:00am – 2:00pm Saturday 10:00am – 2:00pm |

I am a former Mission College student and have been tutoring for many years; sometimes as a volunteer, sometimes as a private tutor, and sometimes in the lab. I transferred to UCLA as a Computer Science major but math is one of my favorite subjects. I want to continue working with students and help them succeed in reaching their academic goals.

Personal Intro |

Hi everyone! My name is Bianca. I am currently working on transferring to CSUN’s radiology program. This is my third year working as a math tutor and I still love it! I enjoy working with students, and believe that all the courses I have taken up to this point have not only challenged me, but made me a better tutor as well. I truly believe that motivation and self-discipline are very important to succeed. I always tell my students that there is no such thing as an unintelligent question; every question shows interest and dedication. I hope to see you all at the math center with tons of questions; I am here to help!
