Course Tutoring
The ASC provides individual or small group tutoring in most basic
subjects, on either a long-term or short-term basis. A student interested
in being tutored completes an application form at the ASC.
After a tutor is assigned, the students meet on a regular basis to:
Examine Student Learning Strategies
Review Information from Class
Discuss Content of Reading Assignments
Work Through Examples of Homework Problems
 Peer
tutors are generally upper-class students with outstanding academic
records and faculty recommendations. They are trained in tutoring
techniques and work with continuous supervision by the professional
staff. Assignment of a tutor takes at least two working days. Once
the match-up is made the peer tutor and student arrange the time
of tutoring for the weekly or biweekly sessions.

Writing Tutoring
All students, whether accomplished or struggling writers,
can benefit from one-on-one help on their writing. Upper-class
students
from various disciplines, trained as peer tutors, are available
by appointment and drop-in to assist with the following:
Understanding Writing Assignments
Choosing Topics
Getting Started
Developing Ideas
Organizing
Crafting Sentences and Paragraphs
Revising Rough Drafts
Learning Grammar, Punctuation, and Proofreading
Understanding Professors' Comments on Papers
 Writing
tutoring occurs in two locations: 1.) at the ASC, VanZoeren 261,
during office hours, for which it is best to set up appointments
in advance by stopping in or calling 395-7830, though walk-ins
can receive help if a tutor is available; 2.) or in the Library
Rm 113 on a first-come, first-served, drop-in basis, Sunday through
Thursday evenings, from 8 to 10 pm. Students may schedule or drop
in for as many sessions as they wish for any writing they're doing.
Hope faculty may also arrange workshops or presentations for specific
classes.

Study Skills Tutoring
Many students find that, in making the transition from high school
to college, or from lower to upper level classes, they need
advice about studying. One-on-one appointments with an ASC professional
are available for advice on the following:
Goal Setting and Motivation
Time Management
Textbook Reading/Studying
Note Taking
Test Preparation/Test Taking
Hope faculty and staff may also arrange study skills workshops
or presentations for specific groups or classes.
