Student Success Center

Tutors

The tutoring program in the Student Success Center received national certification through the College Learning & Reading Association [CLRA] in 2007. The service is comprised entirely of volunteers who have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or higher during their academic careers at North Central. These tutors have passed through our application and screening process to ensure they meet our standards of excellence. In addition, they receive monthly training to improve the quality of service they provide and work towards their tutor certification status through CLRA. These tutors are available at various times to assist you in a wide variety of subjects.

 

If you would like assistance with your particular coursework, please contact the Student Success Center for available tutors and times. Stop by the SSC, call, or email, and we would be happy to assist you in scheduling an appointment with a tutor.
