Student Success (P.A.S.S) Tutoring is offered Monday- Friday in the Student
Success Center as well as Boswell and the Avon Williams Campus with tutors in
Biology, English, Math, Chemistry, Sociology, and Economics willing to help
students succeed. All of the tutors are instructors, including an impressive number for the LLP department.
The English tutors of P.A.S.S include Dr. Jennifer Hayes,
Dr. Michelle Pinkard, Prof. Marsha Williams, Dr. Rebecca Dixon, and Dr. Kellie Neal. All of these tutors have different times of availability, making it easier to find a time that fits your busy schedule.

Tutoring and
office hours are beneficial for various reasons. “I think that when most students
when they hear about tutoring they think ‘I don’t need tutoring’ but any
student can benefit from tutoring,” Dixon says. “Tutoring allows
students to learn how to get organized and that can help them do better with
quizzes, tests, and papers.”
At some point, every college student has a time where they are completely stumped on what is
going on in class. In those times, one may try to search for the answers online
and come up with nothing, or one will give websites like Sparknotes a try to
see if there is a translation of a text in that is presented in way that
actually makes sense. Yet, studies show, that those who seek help in tutoring generally perform better than those who don't.
In short, we all get lost sometimes, but when you find
that you are getting lost all of the time in a certain subject or class it is
important to seek help. We are now past the point in the semester where we can
withdraw from classes, so if you find that you are on the edge of a passing
grade, or you want to perform at your greatest potential, find a tutoring time that works for you!
It is important to take advantage of these tutoring opportunities when
there is still time for improvement!
