Tutors get recognition
By Jamie Jimenez

EPCC has been involved in the National Tutoring Association (NTA), a non-profit member serving association. Tutors from the five tutorial services at each campus in addition to the three grant funded programs were recognized on Oct. 9-13.

Each tutor received a letter of recognition from Dr. Richard Rhodes, certificates and prizes.

“Tutoring can make the difference,” said Irma Camacho, Director of Student Success. “They are very important to Student Success seeing that tutoring is a form of instruction, it really helps students learn concepts they didn’t understand in class.

“Students should really take advantage of the tutors we have to get the most out of their education.” Many students agree.

“Its not only refreshing my own math skills but it is also very gratifying to help a student, so they come back happy with a good grade,” said student Alberto Isassi
Although National Tutoring Week is over it is never too late to go up to your tutor and give thanks for their help. I’m sure they would appreciate a thank you any day.
