Welcome to the LRC Tutoring Center
The mission of tutoring at the LRC Tutoring Center is to empower students to become more independent thinkers, writers, readers, and learners through Socratic tutoring principles. The purpose of the tutoring session is to improve the learner’s repertoire of skills and knowledge by offering strategies and tips, modeling effective skills and habits, and providing resources and support. This mission fosters student learning, retention, success, and persistence in the attainment of academic degrees, certificates, transfers, and life-long learning.

Tutoring Success by the Numbers
Recent data found that students* who completed 6 or more hours of tutoring during a semester had higher rates of success, retention, and persistence. Additionally, students who entered a semester on academic probation (below a 2.0 GPA) and completed 6 or more hours of tutoring, were more likely to end the same semester with above a 2.0 GPA.
*Metrics: Student had 6 or more positive attendance hours and has one of the three educational goals: Obtain an AA/AS degree and transfer to a four year, transfer to a four year institution without AA/AS, or four year college student taking courses to meet four year requirements.
