Tutoring Helps You Make the Grade

Studying with others can make all the difference.

Learning Assistance Center (LAC) tutors are required to have received an A or B in the class they are tutoring.  Tutors are trained before they can lead any tutoring sessions.  Their ability to complete the course successfully is shared with you.    

Supplemental Instruction (SI)/Cluster (group tutoring) sessions are FREE and available as an open walk-in resource for ALL PPCC students.  Please refer to the Tutoring/Workshop Schedules.  Additional tutoring is available upon request and is FREE to all PPCC students. 

Study buddies or tutors that are not currently working for the LAC are not governed by confidentiality policies and are not monitored to provide you with the the highest quality of services possible to you from the institution. 

Tutoring helps when you feel overloaded or overwhelmed with so much to learn!

Tutors help you focus on learning concepts and material relevant to the course and your goals. 

Tutoring helps reinforce concepts and understanding for those historically difficult classes.

Tutoring is confidential and available for FREE throughout the year.

Statistics have proven improved performance in class after attending tutoring sessions. 

Tutoring has statistically proven to help increase your grade by half to two whole letter grades.   

During a group session you will have the opportunity to help your peers.  When you explain a concept or process, you are more likely to better understand and recall information for your own benefit. 

Tutoring is not remedial!

Tutoring is for anyone and everyone who wants to learn.  Many of our students are already receiving A's, yet attend because they want to ensure that they understand concepts and course materials well. 

Tutoring builds community within the college and helps build lasting friendships and support for your education.
