West Shore's tutoring program is funded by the college and through a grant from the State of Michigan. There is no charge to students for tutoring and the college pays the tutors an hourly wage for their services. There are eligibility requirements for receiving tutoring services, however. If you are having difficulty in a class, contact the Special Populations Office for information. Tutoring is provided by students who are recommended by their instructors as having the expertise to assist in a particular course.
Professional tutors are also available in some courses.
We also provide notetaking services and reader services for eligible students. If you are interested helping others through employment as a Peer Tutor, please contact the Special Populations Office for details. The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. Both individual and group tutoring is offered facilitated by either a Peer or Professional Tutor.
