Tutoring

Why use the TRiO SSS Tutor Center?

Tutoring can help you in two ways; not only can you achieve higher scores on tests and a better grade in your class, but you will learn to understand the subject in a more comprehensive way. This can be especially helpful when your major requires more than one math course in sequence, and success in later courses depends on the skills learned in earlier courses.

Tutor Josh 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, just East of Griz Central, in Room 225. Twelve 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 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.** Please visit the TRiO SSS main office (EL 180) for a comprehensive list of courses tutored.

How do I apply to use the program?

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.

How often can I meet with a tutor?

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.
