Meet Nina Floyd

Nina FloydNina Floyd is a freshman at CSU majoring in Criminology. Nina tutors at Harvard-Lee and Memorial Nottingham CPL branches. She was hired for the Spring 2022 semester and referred to the OCE America Reads program by her friends, Taryn Pryor and Saba Bekuretsion, who are also CPL America Reads tutors.

Nina shared that mathematics is her favorite subject and she wants to specifically help students with math as she is aware many students struggle with this subject. Nina expressed, “Personally, being a tutor, I want to be able to gain skills on problem-solving and patience when helping students. Having patience and great problem-solving strategies will help students better understand the material. I will be able to give students guidance on subjects they may struggle in which will then improve their performance on material they are learning.” During her senior year of high school, Nina tutored her classmates in math after school.

Nina chose to attend CSU because it is not too far away from home, and she received a scholarship that made CSU her number one choice. At CSU, Nina is involved in the Black Student Union.
