The LLCC Center for Academic Success has peer tutors available for a wide range of courses. Peer tutors meet with students in person or online via Microsoft Teams by appointment. Some tutors will be available for walk-in hours as well. A complete list of subjects tutors can assist students with will be made available in the next week or two to deans and department heads to share with their teams. Peer tutors can visit classes to introduce themselves and share information about their availability and the benefits of tutoring.

If you would like more information about peer tutoring this fall or if you are interested in having a tutor visit your class in the first few weeks of the semester, please email Tiffany Elliott, academic support programs coordinator at tiffany-anne.elliott@llcc.edu with course number(s), room number(s) and meeting time(s).

In the LLCC Center for Academic Success, tutors and professionals often work with students who cannot afford to buy basic school supplies to help them be successful in their classes. In response to this, a small school supply pantry has been established in the CAS with supply donations from LLCC staff. Supplies currently available include new pencils, pens, highlighters, notecards, notebooks and three-ring binders.

If you are aware of any students in need of basic school supplies for summer classes or if you would like to donate supplies to the pantry, please contact Julie Clevenger at 217-786-2365 or julie.clevenger@llcc.edu.
