ASC Tutors are students at ULV who have a minimum gpa of 3.25, are faculty recommended, and have expertise in the areas they tutor. They participate in weekly trainings throughout the academic year to learn more about their content areas as well as strategies to make your tutoring experience not only helpful, but also encouraging and enjoyable. They report that their favorite part of working with students is watching their growth and excitement when they have those lightbulb moments and say to themselves, "I CAN do this!"
"Alexia was very friendly, caring, trustworthy, and very competent in her math skills and in her ability to teach it to me. Thank you Alexia!"
"[My Tutor was] friendly, outgoing, and provided good academic advice."
"She was really patient, helpful, and even stayed more than 1 hour for the appointment to help me!'
"Allison was great and made me feel more confident in my calc class."
"Annette was awesome! She understood what I was having to do and she was able to process what I was trying to attempt with the little information that I had provided. She helped me rethink some ideas and helped me to get started on my purpose statement."
"Jonathan is amazing. He cares about the little things that may seem unimportant to most but it actually makes a huge difference in writing. Definitely plan on returning :)"
"Kaitlyn was awesome! She is super friendly and helpful! This was my first time meeting with the tutoring center, and I am so glad to have had her."
"Kristine has helped me so much. I met with her yesterday, and we just had time to scratch the surface. At the end of the session, she realized that I was confused, and offered to set up a follow up session to assist me. I know she didn't have any appointments available, but she made it happen. I know she didn't have to do this, and the fact that she cared enough to assist me means everything. As a Sr. Learner, the statistical concepts can be quite daunting. She talked me through what we were doing, how to do it, and ensured that I understood the concepts to enable me to effectively write my statistical analysis. She is kind, helpful and so generous with her time and encouragement. I am so grateful for this experience, and for the patience and support that she provided. After more than 4 years at La Verne this is my first experience in using the ASC services and I was absolutely wowed by Kristine. I would highly recommend, and wish I would have explored earlier!"
"Lyena was very professional, thoughtful, and resourceful. She helped me to organize my thoughts and provided suggestions on my research paper. She showed me some great websites to help construct my paper."
"Rhiannon was very open to hearing my thoughts and helped guide me to find a starting point which I feel confident will help me with this paper."
"It was an effective tutoring session with Courtney!"
"Love Zarah's approach, so kind."
