Learning Assistance Services
Our Goal
Our goal is to help students develop their learning skills to help them take a proactive approach to their courses, discover their particular learning style, and develop their critical thinking skills, through our learning assistance services (i.e.coaching, mentoring, tutoring, etc). We believe that each of these skills are necessary in each student becoming an independent learner.

Make Tutoring Work for You
To help us make your sessions as productive as possible:
1. Come Prepared
Bring your textbook, notes, and assignment sheets with you. Read your assignments and do your best to work through your homework problems before your tutoring session.
2. Attend Classes Regularly
Tutoring is designed to supplement class instruction, not to replace it.
3. Do Not Ask Tutors to Do Your Homework, Proof-read Your Assignments, or Assist in Any Way with Take-home Exams or Quizzes
Tutors can help clarify assignments and identify skills needed to complete assignments. They can give you extra problems and examples like the ones you are having trouble with and help you learn to solve them.
4. Understand that Tutors are Not Professors
Teaching provides students with new information; tutoring helps the students master that information by providing alternate explanations, techniques, and examples. Tutors cannot be a substitute for attending class.
5. Use Tutoring Services Efficiently
You will benefit more from tutoring if you come when you first begin having problems. If you wait until the last minute, you may not be able to master the material in time to succeed on tests and assignments.
6. Do Not Expect Tutors to Know Everything
Please remember that tutors are often students like you who have mastered specific course content with a specific instructor. They are not expected to have the level of experience of your professor.
7. Ask Questions When Something is Unclear
If you remain silent, the tutor may assume you understand. Tutors have learned many ways to explain a single concept, so continue to ask questions until the material is clear to you.
8. Sign-in for Tutoring Services, Evaluate Staff, & Learning Assistance Centers When Requested
These are the only requirements for the free tutoring and all learning assistance services provided. Doing this helps us maintain funding to continue to provide these services at no charge.
