Reedley
College Tutorial Center
The Reedley College Tutorial Center provides individual and
small-group tutoring to any student who needs and wants to improve
his or her class performance. Our work is aimed at helping students
become strong independent learners by working to improve their
subject understanding, study skills, and test preparation.
How does it work?
Tutoring is available in most classes by appointment and on a
drop-in basis in some high-demand classes—like mathematics.
Tutoring appointments are a mix of small group and one-on-one
sessions. There is no cost or fee for tutoring—it is free to all
currently registered students. Hundreds of students from all over
campus get tutoring each semester. The tutors are other students
here at college or former Reedley College students now at Fresno
State or Fresno Pacific University. Every tutor has been approved
to tutor by an instructor teaching the class they are tutoring.
How do I get a tutor?
Getting a tutor is very simple.
Just come to the tutorial center and tell the receptionist that you
are interested in getting tutored. You will be asked to complete a
Request for Tutoring form. You will list your available time
on the schedule and we will then call you as soon as we can schedule
your first tutoring session. Sometimes we will be able to schedule
you right away, but generally we like to contact the tutor first to
verify their availability. For drop-in tutoring you simply come to
the center anytime you need help and we have a drop-in tutor
scheduled to work. Drop-in tutoring schedules are posted in the
center and on our website. Schedules are updated frequently.
Does tutoring really help?
Yes, it does. Our students find that their grades and subject
comprehension do improve. They also tell us that they develop more
confidence in their abilities. You can apply for tutoring at any
time during the semester, but the sooner you come in, the better the
chance we have of helping you make a significant improvement in your
work.
Does the Tutorial Center do
anything other than provide tutoring?
Because of the special importance good study skills have to your
success in college, the tutorial center maintains an extensive
collection of reference materials on study skills development which
are available for you to use. These materials include textbooks,
pamphlets, and audio and video programs. Among the many topics are
lecture note-taking, test-taking, textbook study, memorization, and
study scheduling. Personal guidance and advising on study skills
improvement is also available.
Where can I apply or get more
information?
Come to the
Tutorial Center (Library Building, Room LRC 111) to sign up or to
get more information. You may also telephone the center at (559) 638-0358, or e-mail the
tutorial center coordinator.
