Mathematics Tutoring Resource Center

Tutors are available during these hours to help with homework, review concepts, help with study skills and answer questions about math courses.

The center also offers an individual tutoring program with regularly scheduled appointments for students with a peer tutor. This program offers more structure and consistency than drop-in tutoring. In addition to tutoring, the resource center maintains a library of textbooks and study guides for student reference.

Services:

1. Drop-in tutoring program

   - Peer tutors available during regular hours to help with homework, review concepts, help with study skills and answer questions about math courses.

2. Individual tutoring program

   - Regularly scheduled appointments for students with a peer tutor; offers more structure and consistency than drop-in tutoring.

3. Library

   - Maintains a library of textbooks and study guides for students to refer to, as supplement to their regular textbook. Materials from this collection, or materials provided by an instructor, may be checked out by students.

4. Study sessions

   - Organized on demand for special topics in regular courses, or on a regular basis as a supplement to remedial courses. Tutors may be assigned to a particular course during drop-in hours. Some study sessions develop spontaneously during the semester for some courses.

5. Placement testing

   - All incoming students are placement tested before enrolling in WCU math courses to assure proper skills backgrounds. Testing is coordinated by the Resource Center, and results are maintained by the Department in student records.

Visits to appropriate classes (math classes and study skills courses) are made by the Coordinator. Fliers are available to academic coordinators for Special Services and Athletics. Tutoring for math classes that is supervised by another agency (i.e. Special Services) is coordinated through the Mathematics Tutoring Resource Center.
