Tutoring Services at Ivy Tech Valparaiso
Tutoring is the Smart Thing to Do — and its FREE!
"Ivy Tech Community College offers free tutoring services to any student currently enrolled at Ivy Tech. Our mission is to foster active learning in an open and friendly environment. The academic support we provide leads to greater success and higher achievement for our students." (ivytech.edu/tutoring)
In fact, studies have shown that students who regularly attend tutoring sessions do better in their coursework. Through tutoring, students receive more individualized attention than can be given in a classroom session. Additionally, even group tutoring sessions allow students to practice the skills and concepts learned in class in a low stakes environment. Tutoring and SI sessions help with other important skills such as strengthened comprehension, motivation, self-esteem, and personal responsibility. Students learn better study habits, engage in independent practice, and learn to think critically.

THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS TO TUTORING!
Tutoring is free to Ivy Tech students and staff. Students benefit in a number of ways: receiving assistance in understanding course specific problems and principles, learning collegiate study skills, and finding others to relate to while coping with their studies.
The purpose of tutoring is to help students help themselves—to assist and guide them to the point at which they become independent learners. Additionally, students who start early with tutoring and receive the support that they need are likely to succeed.
