Math Tutoring Center


Out of the four different places that students seek help for schoolwork, I must admit that I was least impressed with this center. Although I know that the atmosphere is not one of the criteria posted that I would be evaluating, it’s hard to completely ignore the drabness of the room, and personally I felt very uninspired to work upon entering the room.
            On a brighter note, there always seemed to be a good amount of tutors there that could help the students, there were never students left without help. When a student needed help they were aided quite quickly.
            The subjects that they go over were math from simple algebra to complex calculus, and all done quite thoroughly as well. They cover a broad spectrum.
Despite there being more students than tutors most of the time, and not much one on one time, the students are still given a lot of help so I didn’t think that there was much of an issue with that.
This center has great hours, going from 8 am to 8 pm on Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 3 pm on Friday, and 1 pm to 6 pm on Sunday. Students have loads of opportunities to get aid in the academics from highly certified tutors.
            Lastly, we looked at the tutors themselves. I didn’t need to be tutored at this time in math so I asked a student taking a math course how she thought of the center and the tutors themselves. Juanita Baretto had nothing but god things to say stating, “every time I go in there confused and needing help, I always leave completely understanding the concepts that had me confused upon entering. There is no doubt that they help students exponentially.
I would have to give this tutoring center a high rating because even though I thought the atmosphere had low appeal, the tutors seem to make up for it ten-fold.
