Tutoring Services is a centrally organized program which coordinates free, drop-in, peer tutoring in many subject areas and centers on main campus. All tutoring is free to currently enrolled Lane students and provides one-on-one assistance in most academic subjects.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!

Tutors will:

• clarify information presented in class or textbooks
• help students learn how to think about concepts in courses
• engage the student in discussing ways to work through problems
• demonstrate effective ways to study and learn
• offer support and encouragement
• help brainstorm
• encourage practicing the new skill

Tutors will not:

• complete a student's homework
• edit papers
• do problems without direct student involvement
and critical thinking in the process of learning
• help with take-home tests
• rescue at the last minute

Students are expected to take responsibility for their own learning, but tutors can help untangle confusing aspects of a subject and offer coaching and guidance to make the process easier. For assistance in specific areas, visit the tutoring centers listed below.
