Tutoring Services
Tutoring Services at Navarro College provides a comprehensive approach to student learning. Tutoring Services provides instruction from both Navarro professors, peer mentors, and Tutoring Services staff. This range of available academic help allows the student to stay on track with the professor’s schedule, while at the same time providing instruction in a safe, confidential environment.
Peer Tutors understand your frustrations, and quite often, have used the services provided by Tutoring Services at some point in the past. Peer Tutors have taken the classes they tutor, and thus, they know the material and the instructor’s expectations. Remember, they are your peers who go to the same school and have attended the same classes.
