Information for students
What does a tutor do?
Tutors assist students with reading, writing, math or to learn better English. Tutors serve students one-on-one, in classrooms, or work with small groups. Tutors meet with students on a weekly or twice-weekly basis to help them gain the knowledge and skills they need to reach their goals.
How can a student get a tutor through the Student Learning Center?
Students must be:
- Currently enrolled in Clark College's Adult Basic Education or English as a Second Language programs
- Age 18 or over
- Willing and able to devote at least two hours per week studying with a tutor
We cannot serve:
- Students on visitor or tourist visas
- Students enrolled in college level courses including I-BEST
If you are interested in getting help from a one-on-one tutor, please stop by the Student Learning Center to complete an application.
How long does it take to get a tutor?
It varies. It depends on your needs, availability and the number of other students on the waiting list.
What is required of the student?
- Meet 2-3 hours a week with your tutor
- Regular on-time attendance at tutoring sessions
- Commit to practice what you've learned and complete homework given by the tutor
What if I can't commit to a weekly tutor?
Tutors also offer general homework help in all subjects. For ESL students, conversation and pronunciation practice groups are offered each week. A schedule of available tutoring times is posted on our Facebook page or our Google calendar.
