The Tutoring Center is where Rhodes State College students can receive free tutoring on many subjects. In addition to working with students on course-specific topics, tutors are available to guide students in strategies and techniques for success in college. Tutors can help in many ways, For example, learning new ways to prepare for and take tests, finding out how to get the most out of classroom lectures, or discovering effective ways to manage time. It is also a great place to study and use computers while in-between classes.
Rhodes State College provides free tutoring to all registered students.
The Tutoring Center offers peer and professional tutoring in most subjects taught at Rhodes State. We also refer students to specific tutoring programs within their departments when necessary to make sure all tutoring needs are met.
Peer tutors are successful students who know what you are going through first-hand and are dedicated to helping you succeed. They have been recommended by a professor and are trained in tutoring. Professional tutors, who may also be instructors teaching on campus, are also available. The common goal for all tutors is to help you become a more confident, independent learner. You can expect to be actively involved in your tutoring sessions. Tutors are not here to do your homework for you; they are here to help you learn how to identify and address difficulties you may be having in your courses, or help you improve your academic skills.
