Hi everyone! My name is Stephen Sawchyn and in June, 2017 I joined the team at the Academic Success Centre as an EAL Specialist. I work with students, instructors and programs to provide the language supports needed for students to be successful in their college courses and in their field after graduation.
Send me an email or stop by the ASC to learn more about the supports we offer and how we can help.
Hi! My name is Meg Loewen and I have been working at the Academic Success Centre since 2017 as an English Language Tutor, Writing Tutor, Academic Coach and Diversity Trainer.
Since receiving my Bachelors of Education in 2009, I have worked in education both in Manitoba and abroad. I taught in Manitoba’s public school system for six years and spent time volunteering in educational settings on five different continents.
I have a Master’s degree in Cross-Cultural Education and the Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA).
I am deeply committed to teaching and excited about working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Individual learning styles, goals, motivations, and stories shape us as learners, and I aim to support my students’ learning in the way that best suits them.
