Intercollegiate Athletics Building

The ICA is building designed for academics for athletes, so naturally tutoring comes as a part of this design. There is a room that during certain hours of the week houses math tutors to help with all that material, and on top of that the ICA is supplied with tutors for many different subjects that help students individually. 

There tends to never be an issue having a tutor on hand to help a student in general, but an athlete can also to have personal lessons, so the amount of tutors is always an adequate number.

What’s great about getting tutored at the ICA is that they can cover almost every subject, even more than just a general overview; they have tutors that know more complex subject material.

Since you can book one on one time, having individual time with a tutor is never really an issue, although if you don’t book time and just go to the tutoring room, it can at times get a little crowded, but it never really an issue.

The hours that the tutors work are the hours that the study area in the ICA is open which is 8 am to 9 pm Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 5 pm on Friday, closed Saturday, and open from 2 pm to 9 pm on Sundays. This shows a lot of opportunities for athletes with busy schedules to be able to come in and get tutored at many different hours of the day.            

Lastly I took notice of the tutors themselves. Many of them are very helpful and enthusiastic with the subject material they are covering. They got their students really involved in the work and have them work hard for the hour or so that they work together. I asked one of the athletes, Miranda Tornatore, how the tutoring experience was for her? She responded, “The tutors are great, really helpful and know what they are talking about. It’s great to have the opportunity to work with them when needed.” It shows that the athletes really appreciate the tutoring, and it seems like it’s a pretty good system they have at the ICA. Unfortunately for non-athletes this resource is not available to them, but that is why they have the other public tutoring centers on campus that are always available to help students when needed.
