Tutorial Services

"The first step towards improvement is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." - Chauncey Depew

Welcome! Tutoring is not only for people who are struggling in a course. Tutoring is for those who wish to improve their performance and understanding in a course. Whether your goal is to get from struggling to passing, or good to great, tutoring can help anyone wishing to get a better handle of the material. We welcome all students who have a passion for learning, and are committed to personal and academic excellence.

Tutoring is a free service to Coahoma Community College students. Tutorial services are available to CCC students, whether for remediation in a course or for high achievers who want to become more advanced. The Tutorial Services Lab was established to assist students in becoming proficient and confident with fundamental skills in the areas such as:

• Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Economics
• Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics
• Art
• English, Foreign Language (Spanish), Speech
• Music
