What to know before working with a LCC tutor

Tutors are happy to help support you in the Lane Support Hub Zoom Room and on campus! Please visit our tutoring site to get the most up-to-date information. Here is what’s at the top of the list to know prior to meeting with a tutor:

We understand that seeking out tutoring can feel overwhelming or intimidating to some folks, which is why we want to let you know that tutoring sessions are simply casual, friendly conversations aimed towards supporting student needs. In other words, we want to help!

Tutors are not experts in the disciplines they tutor; they are simply experienced in the overall discipline.

Please bring with you, and be prepared to go over, any assignment descriptions provided by the instructor. These give the tutor context about the class, assignment, and instructor expectations, which helps us better guide you.

New Respite and Recovery Center at Building 18
