With final exams drawing near, students may begin to feel the pressure that a semester's worth of hard work and testing can bring.

But for those who find themselves worried about exams, or any test for that matter, there is somewhere to go for help.

The Georgia Highlands College Tutorial Center provides individuals with assistance in mathematics, English, reading and Spanish. Andy Beamis helps in the Tutorial Center

Jeanie Cassity, Tutorial Center coordinator, and Andy Beamis, instructor, are both employed by FC just for the purpose of helping students.

Both have the degrees necessary to teach, but according to Cassity, helping students one-on-one is more fulfilling.

"Students come in, and one of us will sit down and help them with whatever it is they need help in," said Cassity.

She went on to say that students are welcome to come by when they need to write an essay, need to study for a test or just need some help better understanding the work in their classes.

"We have a good staff," she said, "and we also have computer programs that help with reading and grammar that students find very helpful."

Jessica Lindberg, instructor, helps students with English and Spanish. Lindberg, who is also a Georgia Highlands College student, said she loves to help other students.

"Sometimes students just need a little help, and that's why we are here," she said.

The Tutorial Center is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. for night students.

Beamis, who helps students mainly with math, is also available on the North Metro and Cartersville campuses. He is at North Metro on Wednesday from 1:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. and at Cartersville 5 p.m.-7 p.m.

Students who cannot make it during those times can make individual appointments with Cassity.

Most students who use this facility need help with their class work or want help studying for a test, but others come just to have a quiet place to study.

The Tutorial Center is located in the Library on the Rome campus, and students are encouraged to stop by any time they feel they could use some help.

For those who wish to set up an appointment, the phone number is (706) 295-6371.
