Tutoring
There are two types of tutoring available on the Whidbey Island Campus.
- One-on-one tutoring. Students who are eligible for this form of assistance meet regularly with a tutor over the course of the quarter. If you are interested, meet eligibility criteria, and would profit from this tutoring, have a discussion with your instructor then come to Student Services in room 100 of Old Main to complete a Tutor Request Application. You will be contacted to schedule an assessment appointment where your eligibility will be determined.
- Campus-wide tutoring. Includes drop-in tutoring for Math and is available free of charge to all students enrolled in classes here at SVC. Go to Tutoring Center to find out more about this campus-wide service.
College Success Skills Classes
These classes, along with one hour study skills classes that can be attended on a drop in basis, are open to all students. Your TRiO counselor can provide you with further information about these courses that will help you learn the study strategies used by our most successful college students and how to make use of our campus technology to excel in classes.
