Walk-In and Drop-In Tutoring Sessions
Welcome all students! The TAAC would like to invite you to drop by the
Center to check out our space and grab some free coffee--that's right, we are
offering free coffee all semester!
We would also like to share some important information about our ever
expanding tutoring services:
-
We offer in-person and online tutoring sessions in accounting,
business, economics, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, English, ESOL,
psychology, sociology, and more!
-
The TAAC offers drop-in and walk-in tutoring and by appointment
tutoring;
-
Tutoring sessions are between 30 minutes and 60 minutes in
length;
-
Students may have two appointments per week, per course, but once
reaching the session limit, students are welcome to visit the Center for
drop-in or walk-in appointments—this is a best practice to help students
to become more independent learners;
-

about events, hiring, services, workshops, and contests.
While appointments are encouraged, the TAAC features walk-in and drop-in
tutoring. Please review the following expectations for drop-in and
walk-in sessions:
Fall Semester 2022 Drop-in and Walk-In Protocols:
-
The TAAC will concentrate on a drop-in model for
the majority of those subjects that are supported. This will consist of
utilizing a hand-raising model when students visit the Center with a specific
question that needs to be addressed. This model differs from the 30 and 60
minute scheduled sessions as tutors are on hand to assist and/or answer
questions as needed. During drop-in sessions, tutors will circulate to
provide support to multiple students at one time. Drop-in sessions are
beneficial when students have reached their weekly session course limit or when
their session has come to a close. If the student needs more attention beyond
what might be accomplished during drop-in sessions, TAAC staff will work with
students to assist them with scheduling an appointment through TracCloud for a
specific day and time with a specific tutor. As with any tutoring session
conducted in the Center, drop-in sessions may not be used to complete homework
as we aim to foster independent learning.
-
The TAAC will offer walk-in appointments for
Academic Coaching and Writing. Walk-ins will have a time limit of
30-minutes. Some of our Writing Consultants and Academic Coaches
will be scheduled for walk-ins only. When available, students will receive the
same support as experienced during a scheduled
appointment.
