Tutoring Services
About
TRIO Student Support Services offers individualized tutoring services designed for program participants. This opportunity can help you gain a better understanding of your learning and the learning process while developing independent learning skills. These services are provided in a quiet, caring environment which maximizes your learning opportunity.
TRIO SSS tutors have ongoing opportunities for professional development to increase and improve their skills. Tutors must be knowledgeable about their area of study, but they also must show that they can explain the subject material clearly and patiently.
*Students must complete a “Tutor Request Form” each semester they are requesting a tutor. It is highly recommended that each Tutor Request Form be submitted before the first month of classes in fall and spring, and before 2 weeks into classes in summer sessions.
It is not so much tutoring that the mind needs, but clearer recognition and better use of what it already knows.

What inspired you to tutor at TRIO SSS?
I am inspired to work at TRIO SSS because students want help and are choosing to work with tutoring services—it is incredibly rewarding when students find that they can be successful in the areas they study.
