\"\"<\/p>\n

Where is the Peer Tutoring Program?
\n<\/strong>We are located in GCC's main building, 4th Floor Core.\u00a0 Our front desk is staffed 9-3:30 M-F, and in-person appointments are available 9-4 weekdays.<\/p>\n

What if I can't get to campus?
\n<\/strong>No worries!\u00a0 We offer virtual tutoring appointments via Google Meet, at mutually agreed upon times throughout the day, evenings, and weekends.\u00a0 Technical assistance is available via the GCC Help Desk weekdays 9am-5pm, when school is in session; call 413-775-1356 or submit a help desk ticket<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How much does it cost?<\/strong>
\nAll peer tutoring is free, whether it's in-person or virtual!<\/p>\n

Who uses tutors?<\/strong>
\nEvery GCC student is welcome! Tutoring is for students who have been out of school for a while and need to brush up, students who are struggling in a course and need ongoing support, and students who are doing well in a course and want to clarify a few points or simply discuss course content and\/or assignments.<\/p>\n

What courses are covered?<\/strong>
\nTutors are available for all English and math courses, as well as most other courses offered at the college. They can help with writing assignments, research, calculator and computer use, study skills, reading, and test preparation.<\/p>\n

Who are the tutors?<\/strong>
\nTutors are GCC students who have successfully completed the courses in which they tutor and have been recommended by a faculty member. Some tutors began tutoring while at GCC and have continued to tutor after transfer to a four-year institution.\u00a0 Tutors receive ongoing training from tutor coordinators in effective tutoring skills.<\/p>\n

What happens in a tutoring session?<\/strong>
\nStudents come to tutoring sessions with their questions and course materials. Tutors help students work through material, class notes, texts, and assignments. Tutors are trained to listen, ask questions, provide feedback, and assist students in the learning process.<\/p>\n

How do I schedule an appointment?<\/strong>
