What do you think when
someone says "tutoring"? If you said, "only
failing students need a tutor," think again. Too many
students seem to think that, and frankly, nothing could be further
from the truth. Of course, we do help students who are struggling,
but we also work with lots of successful students who are working
hard to keep their GPAs high. Here are a few common questions.
How do I know if I need
a tutor?
It's simple really. If
you're having difficulty with a class, a tutor can help. This
is true even if you haven't had any trouble with other classes.
We all learn differently, so even if you are a brilliant mathematician,
you could have some trouble in your Geography class (or vice versa).
How can a tutor help
me?
A tutor's job is to help
you understand the concepts you are studying in your class.
Our tutors are trained to help you become an independent learner
by helping you understand the concepts taught in your class and
by working with you to develop good study skills.
Is there anything a tutor
can't do?
Well, a tutor can't do
your work for you. You still have to go to class,
take notes, read course materials, do homework and take tests.
With a little extra tutoring guidance and advice, all that should
be a little more comfortable. Remember, at the end of the
semester the grade will be YOURS, not the tutor's, so you will still
have to work to be successful.
Who are the tutors?
Our tutors are upper division
and graduate students with proven track records in the subjects
they tutor. Every tutor receives training in tutoring techniques
and methods. Our ongoing training and certification program
teaches tutors how to help students become independent learners
and successful students.
Are there different kinds
of tutoring?
Yes! Different students have different
needs, so we have five different tutoring formats to meet them...read
