The goals of the Tutoring Program are:
- To assist students in becoming independent learners
- To identify the student’s area(s) of concern

- To assist students in becoming active in the learning process

The goals of the Tutoring Program are reached by:
- Engaging students in a discussion about what they know about a particular subject area
- Helping students determine what they do not know about a particular subject area; allowing them to find the answers among their academic material (textbooks, notes, etc.)
- Asking students questions to transfer knowledge into long-term memory
- Creating opportunities for students to practice what they are learning by providing mini-quizzes or creating/accessing practice problems, etc.
- Reviewing notes, homework assignments, projects, quizzes, tests, exams, etc. to identify strengths and weaknesses
- Reviewing instructors’ comments on papers and other assignments to be sure students know how to best use this feedback
