Students are expected to function independently as mature, responsible adults in fulfilling academic requirements and attaining their scholastic and personal goals. B.U.I.L.D. tutorials are to support students' academic endeavors. Although tutors are knowledgeable and familiar with many courses, they are not professors. However, tutors will assist students to identify learning styles, review class information, discern main concepts, set goals, and recommend skills to reach goals. Students are expected to attend tutorial sessions with homework and reading assignments sincerely attempted and preferably complete.
All tutors have a college degree or have teaching experience with learning disabled students.
Presently, B.U.I.L.D. has 15 tutors who are knowledgeable in study skills and basic liberal arts courses. Occasionally, specialized tutoring is available for various math, science, and business courses. The B.U.I.L.D. Center is located in the lower level of Good Hall in Room 17. The tutors are very kind and helpful. They really help me to break down the chapters and look at my subjects from a different point of view.
