Tutoring Center Serves Students at Linn-Benton



Got questions, they've got answers. Make an appointment online and see a tutor near you.

Students enrolled in a credit course at Linn-Benton Community College look no further; help is just around the corner. With half the term gone, tutors are a great service if a student needs help preparing for mid-terms.

Students are eligible to use the Learning Center to receive help with a variety of classes from business to physics. If students have questions a tutor is waiting to offer assistance. When a tutor isn't available in a particular subject just contact the tutor coordinator, Sheri McIntyre, for assistance.

To begin using this resource a student needs to fill out a registration form, return the completed form to staff who will set up a Tutortrac account, and then the student is ready to go. With a few easy steps, a student is on their way. Once they have a Tutortrac account a student can schedule up to three, fifty-minute tutoring sessions a week. Students recognized by the Office of Disability Services, can have an additional two sessions a week. Students pick the time and then just show up. It’s that simple.

Tutoring services are available for students who are having difficulties or just need a refresher. The Tutoring Center isn’t just for students to get answers, it’s a place to learn study skills. As a fellow student, Raven Burcham said, "I love the Tutoring Center; it helps me understand what I am learning in class."
“[We] help students become independent learners,” said McIntyre.

Students can receive this free resource in the Albany Learning Center, the Learning and Career Center at the Benton Center in Corvallis, or the Lebanon Learning Center. Resources are conveniently located, so that students can easily access these services.

“Tutors are both the coach and cheerleader,” said Jeffrey Pierce, who became a biology tutor in the Fall of 2012. He is one of 30 tutors.
