Academic Achievement Center

The Academic Achievement Center (AACE) offers free tutoring help for students in academic courses. You can find us in room 1-112.  Services in AACE include tutoring, course software, and study skill tips for the academic environment. 

Generally, our hours are Mon. –Thurs. 8am-4pm; Fri. 8am-2pm. Other times may be arranged by appointment.

Tutoring for math and writing are on a walk-in basis.  Other courses may have tutors and the hours are listed on a tutor bulletin board inside AACE. Tutoring generally consists of one to four students working with a tutor. Students in small groups have the advantage of learning from one another. Tutors help you find ways to successfully learn course material by clarifying textbook assignments, discussing ideas and reviewing practice problems.  Tutors explain and model, but do not complete assignments for you.  

Students seeking tutoring help come prepared with the assignment information from the instructor or course resources. Students bring the necessary books or notes and can show their attempts with the assignment. An open, listening attitude for assistance creates a better learning experience.
