- If other students are working on the same section/charter as you, the tutor may work with a small group (2-3 people).
- A courteous, professional and knowledgeable tutor will assist you. in some cases, student tutors who have the completed the same course at Pellissippi State will be available.
- Tutors can provide additional understanding of concepts or ideas.
What not to expect:
- A grading service.
- A quick fix.
- Homework done by the tutor.
- To understand a semester's worth of work on the day before the final.
