Recently, I had an interesting conversation with a student. (Let's call him Peter.) He shared that he was experiencing difficulty in one of his classes, but felt that the situation would get better because he was doing well in his other courses. After Peter and I discussed some of his challenges, we agreed that tutoring would be a great tool he could use to improve his course performance. Peter made it quite clear that he did not need a tutor and was only trying to appease me.
I saw Peter recently and he is doing much better in the class. He shared with me that being able to discuss the material with someone who previously completed the course has been helpful. Peter also stated that he felt uneasy asking another person for help; but is extremely glad he did. Now he is on his way to a higher grade in the class. Tutoring works!

It's Spring Break! Classes have come to a halt and now you have time to think about strategies for finishing the semester strong. Don't be discouraged. You may still request a tutor, attend SI sessions, talk to your instructor, and form a study group. However, the time to do it is now.
The TAN team is in office this week and we would love to hear from you. So take a few moments and think about investing an hour or two each week toward obtaining a better grade and better GPA. We are seeing some powerfully, positive grades for the students who meet with our tutors, attend SI sessions and follow through on the recommendations provided. We want success for you too!

Do YOU Need Help?
Sometimes when I visit classes and talk to students, students share how their course grades would have been higher if they had only asked for help. Although asking for help may be challenging at times, we must recognize when our own methods are not working we may reach out to another person who has the knowledge to help us.
The University is continually striving to provide you with adequate academic support each semester through TAN appointment and walk-in tutoring and SI. These services have helped students, including current and former tutors, to improve their course grades and Grade Point Averages, graduate from the University, and continue their pursuit of their goals and dreams. Take advantage of these opportunities. Call me today if you need help in your class(es). These ten digits (256-372-5487) have made a difference in other students' academic success. Give TAN the opportunity to make a difference in your academic success.
