The LAL uses both Student Tutors
and Faculty Specialists to provide tutoring. Together, they provide
tutoring services for most courses at MCCC.*
Student tutors are students who have been successful in the courses
they tutor. They are recommended by their instructors as being
proficient in the course's content. Student tutors receive additional
training to learn effective tutoring techniques. Using their recent
classroom experience, they can assist students in understanding
the requirements of the class and often the instructor.
Faculty specialists are tutors
who have credentials that are similar to those of MCCC faculty
instructors. (Many have experience teaching on this or other college
campuses.) They focus their tutoring in the areas of their advanced
training, but sometimes they tutor classes for which they have
developed expertise. In general, faculty specialists have years
of experience helping students succeed.
*If you want tutoring for a course
we don't cover, you can submit a Tutor Request Form to the LAL
coordinator (within the first 4 weeks of a semester). We'll try
our best to find a tutor for you.
