Learning Assistance (LA) at TTC is a center for helping students succeed in their course work. The center provides one-to-one tutoring, videos, computer tutorials, reference materials, worksheets, informational handouts, and small group workshops to supplement learning needs in English, mathematics, and other subjects. Consultants in The Write Place and tutors in The Math Center are available to help students practice and master the skills learned in the classroom. Learning Assistance can also assist with calculator and computer use, including orientation to TTC Express and college e-mail accounts. Students have access to computers for writing papers, a laser printer, a scanner, and the Internet. Appointments for individual tutoring may be scheduled through the reception desk. Students should also check for schedules of small group workshop sessions offered each semester.
Whether a student needs help with developmental English or with writing a research paper, with basic arithmetic or with calculus, with English as a Second Language or problem solving on a graphing calculator, Learning Assistance has resources available. Students should contact Learning Assistance on Main Campus at 843-574-6409, on Palmer Campus at 843-722-5516 or on Berkeley Campus at 843-899-8079 for additional information or to schedule an appointment for assistance. Tutoring and resources in Learning Assistance are provided free of charge to TTC students.
Because helping others learn is a rewarding experience, students who have been successful in math, biology, Spanish, chemistry, computer or other courses may wish to volunteer as Peer Tutors in Learning Assistance. Pick up an application from the reception desk in LA on each campus.
