If you are one of the Fresno City College students looking for ways to keep your grades up, the Tutorial Center is just the place to go.  The center may make the difference between success and failure this semester.

Open on Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 8 p.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed Sundays.

The Tutorial Center provides tutoring for a variety of subjects and helps students with their class work when needed.  

“We’ve been finding ways on how we can improve the tutorial center,” Odalis Frausto, a  Tutorial Center staff, said. Frausto said the center is conducting a survey of students on how to improve or better their experience.  

The center uses the students’ feedback and recommendations to better their next visit and accommodate their needs  

Odalis Frausto says the center tries hiring as many tutors as possible to ensure students can get help in most courses offered here at FCC. Subjects areas covered include Spanish, physics, psychology, math (DS-21 and DS-23 forms of math), English, science, history, biology, computer science (CSCI and CIT forms of computer science), econ, engineering, history, Philosophy, Japanese history, poli-sci, and accounting.

“It would help me a lot for my math class,” Karen Soria, a second year student said. “I would wake up every morning just to go to tutoring.”

Soria was failing her math class for nine weeks before she decided to get tutoring help.  She said the sessions were very helpful with her homework and she got the help she needed and finished her class with a C.

Jesus Mendoza, a mechanical engineering major, said he too was not doing well in his classes and did not know where to get help until a friend told him about the the Tutorial Center.

“I got the help I needed for my math class because I was struggling a ton,” Mendoza said.

The Tutorial Center helps tutor students here at FCC with a variety of different subjects, students in need of  help with a particular subject they don’t understand and if in need of tutoring you can check out the tutorial center.
