Meet your fall peer tutor team

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).
