Tutorial Services

It is our goal to provide the best tutoring service support for all of our student-athletes. We look to match the most qualified tutor to the appropriate student-athlete. Placing the student-athlete in a position to be successful academically is paramount.

It is our intention to have the best tutoring service by effectively locating, recruiting, hiring, training and lastly scheduling the tutoring sessions. The success of our program will be measured primarily by securing feedback from the tutors employed and the student-athletes that are being serviced.

Finally, we will communicate all necessary information, gained from the tutoring sessions, back to the coaches and to our immediate staff, in order for appropriate decisions to be made.
