What are students and tutors saying?
Many students take advantage of the college's convenient and free tutoring. Here are a few testimonials from our students and tutors.
Students
Landry, Computer Electronics Technology student
Landry did not want tutoring, offered through Tutoring Services at MATC, at first: "I was like, 'Tutoring, I don't want no tutoring!'" But he changed his mind ... and his academic performance improved!
Natalie, Dental Hygiene student
Natalie says she is "doing way better this time — a lot better" in class, now that she takes part in tutoring sessions.
Delois, Registered Nursing student
Delois advises using Tutoring Services as soon as possible. "Get the help right away — don't wait until the end of the semester."
Chris, Architectural Technology student
Chris likes doing homework in the Academic Support Centers, where tutors are posted: "In case you have questions, there are people here to answer them."
Amy, Respiratory Therapy student
Amy says taking part in tutoring sessions
is "a continuing learning experience, and it's great."
Tutors
Matthew, math and electronics tutor
Matthew says "everybody has got this idea that they're so horrible at math ... but they come in, and they're intelligent people, you know, and they catch on," in part because MATC tutors will not give up on you!
Taylor, science tutor
Taylor recalls when she struggled with geometry, admitting that "I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. I really needed to use the resources that were around me." Resources like tutoring!
Carol, Human Services tutor
Carol says she tutors because "I like to see students smiling." She will help students overcome whatever obstacles they face in class so they can succeed — and smile.
Loop, Music Occupations tutor
Loop tells students "you're sure" to benefit when you work with your tutor through Tutoring Services at MATC.
Va'Na, Business Management tutor
Va'Na says she knows, as a non-traditional student, "there are certain things that I go through that ... could impede me if I didn't have all these resources available," like Tutoring Services.
