Student Learning Center at FTCC goes the extra mile
by CHRISTOPHER THRASHER
Have you ever had the experience of a tutor call-
ing to check on your academic progress?
How about the experience of a tutor contacting
you just to say hello and introduce himself/herself?
Did you know that at Fayetteville Technical
Community College, tutors work collaboratively
with instructors to assist students with their aca-
demic success?
FTCC's Student Learning Center (SLC) tutors do
all this plus more. e SLC is a valuable resource
that is focused on encouraging and support for all
FTCC students to achieve success. Whether you
recently graduated from high school or you haven't
been in a classroom in over 20 years, you can al-
ways feel at home at FTCC's SLC.
Instructors at the Student Learning Center are
qualified and ready to help students focus on
their grades and bridge the gap between learning,
understanding and applying skills learned in real
world applications. Each experienced instructor
has an impressive background of working closely
with adult learners. All of the SLC instructors have
diverse academic backgrounds in subjects such
as English, math, science, computer information,
accounting, and foreign languages.
e SLC instructors realize students learn dif-
ferently, and they carefully dissect the challenges
students are faced with each semester. Students
have access to a welcoming atmosphere that's
conducive to learning with comfortable seating,
computers, laptops, and group instruction rooms.
Additionally, the SLC has mobile whiteboards and
whiteboard tables to promote interactive learning.
Students can also use the SLC as a place to study
between or after classes. In addition to the one-
on-one tutoring, the SLC provides NetTutor Online
Tutoring Service for students, available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
"e Student Learning Center is one of the only
places at school that I visited by myself to study, to
find help if needed, and to work on all the things I
needed to work on. e Student Learning Center's
environment always feels like a safe space; the
instructors at the Center made me feel welcomed,
and there are so many places within the Center
where I could get comfortable enough to start
working on my to-do list. Additionally, the Student
Learning Center ranks as my top study spot on
campus because I never feel alone; someone is al-
ways there to help me if I have questions. Whether
I study math, English, science, or work in the writ-
ing lab on essays, the instructors know exactly how
to assist, discuss, and coach me regardless of the
course or subject. I like to call the Student Learning
Center my home away from home," said Hannah
Spexarth, Student-Athlete at FTCC.
Using the Student Learning Center is free, and
no appointment is necessary. FTCC students
should bring their student IDs for easy access to
sign in. Visit FTCC today and let us help you get on
