Academic Center Staff

Brenda Spear

Director of Academic Services

As the Academic Director at ACU, I have the privilege of working with students, faculty and staff. I especially enjoy developing relationships with the students and walking them through the rigors of college academia. I love my job.  I love making something that students think is so hard and making it palatable.  I love running interference for kids.  I love watching their joy and giving them a high five when they get good grades. Seven years of experience running my own private tutoring business taught me some invaluable lessons that I bring to ACU’s Academic Center where students can receive counseling, tutoring, and testing.  Students with disabilities who have special educational needs are also coached there on how to get the most out of their college experience. My background as a teacher serves me well in administering to their special needs. My job is very rewarding and satisfying.

Trent Bruns

Academic Tutoring Coordinator

As the Academic Tutoring Coordinator, I have the honor of creating a team of tutors to serve the student body at Arizona Christian University. My role is to provide tutoring services to students who need help navigating ACU systems, study habits, or content related to their class. My extensive background in athletics and academics have equipped me with exceptional service for the students, staff, and faculty. I’m excited to make ACU a better place!
