The Hancock County Higher Education Center offers FREE peer tutoring services to students.  Peer tutors are students who have demonstrated a strong knowledge of the subject areas they tutor. 

HOW WILL A TUTOR HELP ME?

Tutors cannot do your homework for you and they do not re-instruct course material, but a tutor can:

· Watch you work a math problem and point out where a mistake was made so you can re-do the problem

· Read an essay and tell you if it seemed unorganized or unclear

· Give suggestions on using your notes and making them better

· Listen to you read your essay aloud so you can identify grammar errors as you read

· Help you improve your understanding of key concepts covered in class

WHEN ARE TUTORS AVAILABLE?
