Math, English, & Biology
What Are these places?
For struggling students, we have a proven record—those who set up a program of sessions with us have passed their courses at much higher rates than students who struggle and never ask for or accept help. Because of our success record, we’re called the SEA (Success Encourages Achievement) Center. Our mission is to support students who want to navigate the stormy sea of college English, Math, and Biology courses—by finding success step by step.
Each has a different location within the Center for Teaching and Learning (ACAD Room 200).
What happens here?
During operating hours, our tutors, provide free guidance to the student seeking the tools to build a successful college experience. In addition to helping build academic skills, the tutors help students by making referrals to valuable, free college services—like financial aid, counseling, advising, disability services, college organizations….
Why would I come here?
You may recognize that you are struggling in the course, and come in on your own, or your instructor may recommend our SEA program to you because he/she sees such signals that you are missing. If this occurs, you will be called or e-mailed by the college’s Early Intervention Program. It does not mean you are in trouble—but it is probably best that you come in and meet us, then start regular participation. TIP: bring your textbook and your latest assignment in written form.
