CENTER SERVICES
- The Learning
Center is an institutional support system designed for all Phoenix
College students to help improve their learning skills. Our
goals are to help students improve their study habits and assist
them in their classes by providing tutoring, study skills development,
multi-media materials and student special services. We attempt
to provide these services in a friendly environment and with
qualified assistance.
TUTORING
-
- Drop-In
Tutoring
- Drop-In
Tutoring is available for the most requested fields
of study: English, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Accounting and a few others
- The
days and times for Drop-In vary from semester to semester,
but we try to set up schedules to serve as many students
as possible. The schedule is posted in the Learning
Center.
- Group
Tutoring
- The
Learning Center strongly encourages group tutoring.
If several students in the same subject or class come
to us needing assistance we will try to provide a
tutor.
- One-on-One
Tutoring
- One-on-One
Tutoring is available for most subjects. It is required
that a student be enrolled in the class at Phoenix
College for which he/she is requesting tutoring. Many
students request this individualized tutoring, and
we are happy to provide it according to availability.
Space, however, is limited, so students are advised
to sign-up early.
- On-Line
Writing Lab (OWL)
- Tutors
- The
tutors in the Learning Center have different educational
backgrounds. Many of our Drop-In tutors are Phoenix
College faculty members who volunteer their time to
assist students in our center. Other tutors are former
instructors, degreed individuals, and students. Students
wishing to become a tutor need to have earned an "A"
in the subjects desired to tutor. For some subjects,
we require faculty or departmental confirmation that
a student is qualified to tutor.
Applications are available at the front desk.
STUDY

Center provides tipsheets dealing with study skills. Videotapes
are also available for viewing at the Learning Center. These
