Tutors help students improve academic performance and achieve educational goals. They offer guidance and support in one or more of the following subject areas: mathematics, biological sciences, business, physical sciences, and technologies. They assist students in developing study skills, time management strategies, and other techniques that contribute to academic success.

The Tutoring Center hosts embedded tutors for Math 154 (Quantitative Reasoning) and Math 161 (Precalculus). These tutors are embedded in assigned classes for the length of the class (7 weeks or 15 weeks) to support students in and out of class, connect students to the Tutoring Center, host review sessions, and model good student behavior.

Tutors may work with students either individually or in groups. Their responsibilities are customized to suit the unique needs of their student(s) but typically involve helping students comprehend complex concepts, offering guidance on assignments, projects, and homework, and fostering confidence in the subject(s) they are studying. Tutors may also be embedded into specific courses to further support students in the classroom.

Tutoring services also aid students in prioritizing tasks, preparing for exams, and setting goals. New personnel will complete tutor training and participate in ongoing professional development activities.
