TLC: Not Just for Tutoring

At The Learning Center, tutoring is clearly the name of the game. Garnering more than 5,000 tutoring sessions every academic year, TLC is a dynamic place where individual students work towards improving their grades. However, if you think TLC is only about tutoring, you are only getting half the picture. The list below describes ten other services TLC provides, so you have a better understanding of what TLC can do for you:

1) SI--Supplemental Instruction is our most popular program. Supporting several sections of chemistry, biology, psychology, and mathematics a quarter, Supplemental Instruction teams students with students in the name of collective academic success.

2) Study Space--The Learning Center offers roughly ten tables for students to study, either alone or in groups. Also, feel free to ask a tutor a question if you're stumped with a question or need help studying.

3) Math Placement--If you are about to take the math placement test, The Learning Center offers math placement assistance that will help you refresh your math concepts before taking the placement test. Learn more at http://www.ucclermont.edu/tlc/MathPlacementTest1.html.

4) Study Skills Assistance--The Learning Center does not only have a place to study; we can teach you how to study. Our study skills specialist, Amy Abafo, can teach you strategies to help you get the best test scores.

5) Computers--The Learning Center offers six computers for student usage. Pop in and print out an assignment or work on your online math assignments with the help of a tutor.

6) Free Coffee/Candy--Power up for your classes with caffeine and sugar! All right, it may not be the best for you, but a quick jolt of energy helps get you through those tough classes.

7) Computer/Blackboard Help--Not only do we offer computers for student usage, but we offer help on how to use them. From learning how to use blackboard, navigate websites, or master Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to more advance programming questions, TLC can help you with the majority of computer questions.

8) Supplies--Need to staple your essays before submitting them? Need a three-hole punch? Need to borrow a pencil or pen? The Learning Center has numerous supplies for students. As long as you don't abuse the services, we can help you out.

9) College Questions--The Learning Center staff is knowledgeable about many campus organizations, services, and events. Feel free to ask us questions about the college. If we don't know the answer, we probably know the best source to get you the answer you need.

10) Awesome Events--Last, but not least, TLC routinely offers special events and celebrations to which all students are welcomed. Free pizza is typically a fixture at these events, so like us on Facebook to keep abreast of event developments.
