The Tutors
The tutors are the heart of the LPC tutorial program. Each semester we have between 30-50 tutors serving LPC students.We continue to hire throughout the semester as the need arises for more tutors. Some of our tutors volunteer their time, others are tutoring for credit, and still others are being paid. All tutors receive six-ten hours of training to do their job and many to go on to higher levels of certification with twenty or even thirty hours of training. The tutors take working with their students seriously; therefore, LPC students who come for tutoring find themselves learning and their own grades improving throughout the duration of tutoring.
