Students seeking assistance with their studies can drop in, set an appointment, or sign up for a study group at the De Anza College tutorial center: all for free.
The number of study groups and tutors has doubled since last year with a staff of 25 tutors and 50 different study groups. Located at S-43, the free-of-charge program covers the majority of math, English and science courses.
“What brought me here was my concern in the state of math,” said Paul Edwards, a senior tutor. “What keeps me here is student success.”
Tutors are required to take a training course before assisting students and their salary ranges from $8 to $10 per hour. Tutor applications are available online at www.deanza.edu/tutorial/ tutoring.
“The best part about tutoring is that I can watch people grow and help students reach a level that they couldn’t reach before,” said Lisa Bartus, a tutor.
