With the fall semester coming to an end and finals right around the corner, many new students are starting to feel the pressure of college. One sure way to ease some of the pressure is to visit the FC Tutorial Center.
The Tutorial Center is a place where over 100 students a week go to get one-on-one help in mathematics, English, reading, Spanish or term paper writing. According to Jeannie Cassity, Tutorial Center Coordinator, approximately 2200 students a semester come to the center for tutoring.
Elsie Wallis, nursing major, said, �The Tutorial Center staff is excellent and always has time to assist you. It is one of the best resources for Math 0097 and 0099.�
There are practice tests for the Math COMPASS Test, solution manuals for even and odd problems of the math books and practice grammar tests for the English COMPASS test.
The Center is also set up with 10 computers that can be used for anything ranging from practice math tests to doing research on GALILEO.
The Tutorial Center also offers a quiet place to study, so even if the student doesn't need help, he or she is welcome to come in, study, and ask questions at any time.
Assisting Cassity in the Tutorial Center are Andy Bemis, Kelly Shane, and Rusty Causey.
Cassity has a master's degree in English and a bachelor's degree in math education. Bemis has a bachelor's in English and a master's in education. Shane has a bachelor's English and is working on his master's in mathematics. Causey is a student at FC majoring in mathematics.
Bemis said, �For me, this is an ideal place to teach. Every student I work with wants to be taught and learn, and [in the Tutorial Center] I have to only help them, and not grade them.�
On the Rome campus the Tutorial Center is located in the Library and is open Monday-Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Monday and Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The Cartersville Campus Tutorial Center is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and the North Metro Tech center is open from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
