Student Success
If a student wants to improve his or her grades, he or she
should walk himself or herself over to the tutoring center. There,
he or she can request a tutor to help him or her with his or her
homework. This preparation for his or her class will ensure that
he or she is ready when taking his or her quizzes and exams. In
addition, the tutor might have old work to share. This way, the
student can find out himself/herself what to expect on the
assignments for a specific instructor that might change his/her
assignments rarely. Thus, the one thing that will insure the success
of a student is that he or she gets a tutor to help him or her.
