Course Tutoring and Writing Assistance
Blue Ridge Community College’s Tutoring Program engages students with academic resources outside the classroom. We have two primary physical locations to serve students, and are accessible virtually as well. In the northwest corner of the Houff Library students may access: writing assistance, course tutoring, access laptops, and use Mediascape work stations. Students may work with a professional tutor or may choose to work with a qualified peer tutor. Additionally, many of our tutors staff the Math Emporium (F106 suite). Peer tutors are current students of the College who have excelled in the course for which they offer tutoring, and have been recommended by their professors and hired by the College. Peer tutors receive specialized training in how to work with other students. Tutors are available in subject areas, but also help with software and IT issues. For example, the Tutoring Center offers assistance in accessing and navigating through CANVAS and other learning management systems. To access tutors’ schedules, and to schedule an appointment, go to https://www.brcc.edu/student-support-services/academic-support/tutoring/ email tutoring@brcc.edu, or call 540 453-2289. There is no charge to BRCC students for Tutoring Center services.
