Tutoring can help you in two ways; not only can you receive higher scores on tests and a better grade in your class, but you understand the subject in a more comprehensive way. This can be especially helpful when your major requires you to take more than one math course in sequence, and success in later courses depends on the skills learned in earlier courses.
The primary goal of the TRIO SSS Tutor Center is to enable TRIO students to complete the Math General Education Requirement and/or the first-year math courses required for their major.
The Center is located on the second floor of the Lommasson Center in Room 272 and is open from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Six tutors are employed by the center and at least two are on duty whenever the tutor center is open.
In addition to math, TRIO SSS employs 2 – 4 tutors in subjects that vary according to student needs. Areas tutored have included chemistry, foreign languages, computer science, and economics, but these vary from semester to semester.
(Old course numbers) MAT 002, 005, 100, 117, MATH 107, 111, 112, 121, 241, BIOL 100, 106, 107, 108, 109, CHEM 104, 151

If you haven’t used the Tutor Center before, come to the TRIO SSS Office in EL 180 to complete a brief application and meet with an advisor.
Although some students have extended help sessions with tutors, we encourage you to bring your homework to the Tutor Center so you can get help whenever you have a question.
TRIO SSS hires both undergraduate and graduate students to serve as tutors in our program. Tutor transcripts must demonstrate excellent mastery of subject area. Most TRIO SSS tutors have previous tutoring experience.
