5. Peer Tutoring Tutors recommended by faculty
Tutors are certified through training
received from an actual class
Free service! Off-campus tutoring costs $20-50/hour!!
Most BC courses supported—other resources available on campus to meet
all needs
Provide one 50-minute session per week (one subject per student per week)
DSPS & EOPS students receive help with an additional subject each week
Drop-in tutoring available in 15-minute increments for Math/English
Must make appointment in person, not by phone—go to CSS-203

6. Supplemental Instruction (SI) ~located in CSS-193 area~
Group study sessions offered to students
in a variety of challenging classes
Study sessions are run by well-qualified student
we call an “SI Leader”
SI Leaders also attend classes with students IF
the instructor of that class requested a Leader
SI Leaders know the subject, know the professor
teaching the subject, know the types of assignments given, know the
professor’s personality and teaching style—in short, they can inspire, mentor,
and guide students to success on any academic pathway!
BC’s First SI Man
But they can’t help you if you don’t show up to their study sessions! So what are you
waiting for?!! Give SI a try!
