Why is tutoring important?

“Tutoring is important because t helps strengthen students’ academic abilities and capabilities. Students can get one-on-one help on specific issues that they may not have had a chance to ask in class. Tutors help students recognize their strengths and their weaknesses. Tutors can also give helpful tips on how to study, combat writing anxiety, start conversations with English-speakers, and approach their instructors with questions.”

Komfort Akyempon-Archer, Tutor

“I believe tutoring is important because students often have more specific questions regarding their assignments which they could ask in a private and safe environment. Additionally, visiting a tutor is a fun and engaging way to receive guidance on your own specific language needs to improve your English.”

Nairi Issagholian, Tutor

Why should students come to tutoring?

“Although I am confident many students have the ability to do many assignments on their own, there are times when some assistance and guidance is needed. That is where tutoring comes in. Unlike a typical classroom setting, tutoring offers students a chance to work one on one with an experienced teacher and tutor. That’s right, all the attention is focused on you and your questions and concerns.”

Peter Chhuor, Tutor

“Learning is a process, and tutoring can help you at every step. It’s a fantastic way to build your confidence, perfect your skills, or double-check your understanding of a tricky concept. Everyone should come to tutoring!”

CG Waters, Tutor

“I recommend tutoring to any student who would like to spend more time gaining a more complete understanding of the language.”

Kate Kessler, Tutor

What are the benefits of tutoring?

“Tutoring can help students improve their grades, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the challenges ahead. Of course, tutoring also gives students the chance to practice English in a low-stress environment.”

Lily Lewis, Tutor

“I think the tutoring space gives students the chance to ask questions that they might be reluctant to ask during class, and it also provides opportunities for private, individualized feedback. It provides opportunities to meet with students individually and helps them work on their own personal academic goals at their own pace.”

Aaron Ostrom, Tutor

What is your favorite part of tutoring?

“My favorite aspect of tutoring is the one-on-one relationships that I get to cultivate with my students and the fact that I get to spend 100% of my time with just one student which is very different from what students experience in the classroom.  Also, tutoring is a choice that you make – it’s something extra that you do for yourself so that you can better understand the assignment and to help you not only improve your grade, but to also enhance your own journey of learning.”

Sumino Otsuji, Tutor
