Review Sessions
The math and English tutors in the TLC are hired and trained by the departments. Our tutors can conduct review sessions to prepare your students for exams using materials that you provide. By providing
us with a syllabus early in the semester, we can better schedule tutoring and review sessions to meet the needs of your students.
Sample Essays & Exams
The TLC can securely store sample essays, old exams, grading rubrics, and other reference materials for your students to access, and for our tutors to better know your course and expectations.

Directed Learning
Activities
A Directed Learning Activity (DLA) is an
exercise developed by a faculty member that
students complete in a tutoring center. A DLA
allows the students to gain more practice on a
concept or skill introduced in class.
A DLA differs from a homework assignment
in that a DLA 1) usually has a short time limit
– 30 to 45 minutes, and 2) requires a follow-up
session with a tutor after completion.
