Tutoring and Learning Center Report
For PRAC
Spring 2013
We offered online tutoring for 3-7 weeks during the Fall 2012 semester. We set up online sessions based on
students’ requests and availability. We widely advertized our online tutoring sessions on campus, online,
through our tutors, and various marketing material.
Here is the summary of the online tutoring attendance for Fall 2012:
ASL 101 – 2 hours/week, offered for 5 weeks= 10 hours. Student hours attended - 5
BUS 112 – 1 hour/week, offered for 3 weeks = 3 hours. Student hours attended – 2
Chem 114 – 2 hours/week, offered for 5 weeks = 10 hours. Student hours attended – 3
ComSc 130 – 1 hour/week, offered for 3 weeks = 3 hours. Student hours attended – 2

Thus, we offered a total of 64 hours of online tutoring. Students attended 26 hours.
We also offered tutoring in Math (2 hours/week) and Spanish 101/102 (1 hour/week) at IVC for 7 weeks during
the Fall 12 semester. Only 1 student came to three Math sessions, and one student to two Spanish sessions.
In their Tutoring and Learning Center evaluations for Fall 2012, around 95% of students indicated that they
would rather use in person tutoring even if online tutoring for their subjects was offered.
Since both online tutoring and IVC tutoring sessions were not well attended and the students expressed their
preference for in person tutoring, we decided to use the funds to increase in person tutoring sessions at KTD.
As a result, we were able to offer more tutoring sessions for several subjects (Statistics, ASL, Geography,
Italian, ESL, and Japanese) and saw a considerable increase in attendance for those subjects. We are continuing
offering online tutoring and tutoring at IVC per student request.
