The LARC provides individual and group tutoring services to MACC students. Peer tutors facilitate the learning process by helping students understand and “learn-how-to-learn” course materials while taking responsibility for their own learning. Tutors may not do the work for the student and will use the Socratic Questioning method to lead students to self-understanding.
