Rules of the Learning Center

  • Students must be enrolled in Gaston College seeking help for a Gaston College course
  • Students may receive up to three hours per week per subject of tutoring per semester
  • Students are expected to notify the Learning Center if tutoring appointments are missed. Two missed appointments may result in the student being dropped from the program for the remainder of the semester

The Learning Center program is staffed by paid tutors who have B’s or better in the courses they tutor, and who are recommended by their instructor or the chair of the department in which the course is taught. Tutors are carefully interviewed by the Learning Center Director and Specialist and undergo an initial training period. In addition to being knowledgeable and well-trained, tutors are also chosen for their sensitivity toward students and for their interest in teaching. Students who are not satisfied with their understanding or performance in a course may use this free service. Help is available in the areas of understanding concepts, problem-solving, and study skills. Tutoring services are available not only for the student who is having difficulty in passing a course, but also for those students who want to improve their skills.

Our goals at the Gaston College Learning Center are to:

  • Help students become more independent, self-confident, proficient learners
  • Provide a safe and proper academic environment for the students of Gaston College
  • Provide quality peer tutoring to help students achieve their fullest academic potential
  • Provide ongoing training and certification for peer tutors
