You will find that our tutors are Ventura College students, and/or students from local universities who have been recommended by their instructors. Aside from helping students with course content; tutors also clarify instructions for assignments, help brainstorm ideas for papers and projects, and facilitate the use of strategies for effective study habits and exam preparation.
