Tutoring

Walk-in assistance is available in the Success Center whether you have a quick question or want to meet regularly with a tutor. We have a staff of peer and professional tutors to assist you in over 20 courses. View the tutoring schedule in PDF format.

All Success Center tutors, who work with students one-on-one, provide similar help. Yet the Center tutors have one of three titles:

Specialists - work 30 hours per week in the Success Center tutoring students and facilitating workshops on specific academic skills; they also work as adjunct faculty.

Learning Assistance Centers for Excellence (LACE) assistants - adjunct faculty members who assist students, in the Success Centers and in locations throughout the college, a few hours each week. View the LACE schedule in PDF format.

Peer Tutors - student tutors who are recommended by instructors, have at least a 3.0 gpa and have received at least a "B" in the class they tutor. Many of the peer tutors are CRLA certified.

Two rooms are available for small and large study groups. A lounge area at the front of the Success Center has Internet connections available for laptop computers.

Comments from students who have used the Success Center tutoring:

"I came here without any understanding of the problems I was assigned and with (the tutor's) help I left with a definite understanding and I feel more comfortable with Physics up to this point. I highly recommend this tutor room and will use it as needed."

"The Success Center has been extremely helpful for me this semester. If it were not for the tutoring I have received here I would not be passing Intermediate Algebra. If I pass my class I will attribute my success to the very able assistance I have received from tutoring."
