Get homework help in the Learning Skills Center

As the year progresses, the difficulty of classes increase. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming going to school full time (or even part time) and getting one or more homework assignments for each subject you take. Many students drop out, stress out or just don't show up altogether. 

    Although it may seem like a whole lot of homework for one person, you don't have to go through it alone. For this reason, Kishwaukee has a reliable team of tutors just located at the Learning Skills Center (LSC) for your convenience. Only problem is, many students don't know that the tutors are available for them.

    "The awareness of tutor availability amongst students will best be spread by teachers," said Zach Klein, philosophy tutor and student at Kishwaukee College. "Teachers need to give their students the information of the tutors for their specific course, and possibly even consider giving the students some sort of incentive to go see the tutors."

    As of now, most students are going to the LSC for English papers, math and science help. 

    Zach continues, "It seems as if a decent amount of students come in the LSC for help. Most come to use the computers and have the advantage of having people to ask questions while doing their homework. It is still early, but I had four students in a week where there was a test. As a philosophy tutor, I will see students when things are close to due dates or when tests are close. "

    The LSC is located in between the A and B wings of the school, and in between A200 and A300. It is a door amongst the chaos of the hallways, and can be a little tricky to spot for some students. Nevertheless, it is available for everyone who needs help with their schoolwork. 

    "Students should come to the learning skills center to use the resources provided for them. My hours are 11:15am-12:15pm Mondays and Wednesdays. As students we pay high tuition costs, many fees and gas to commute to school. Shouldn't we try to do the best we possibly can, especially in those courses we have trouble in?"

    Surprisingly enough, many students aren't coming to get help even when they desperately do need it. Is it because students aren't aware of the tutors' availabilities? Or could it be because students simply don't have the time to spend visiting a tutor? 

    Whatever the case may be, indulge yourself this semester and go visit a tutor in the LSC. It is free, and you don't have to go through the hassle of making an appointment. The LSC hours are Monday-Thursday from 8:00am-9:00pm, and Friday from 8:00am-4:00pm. So stop by whenever you need to!
