Spring 2013 Tutoring Hours

Mondays - 11am to 12pm in Telonicher House 112
and other times by appointment.

Contact the tutor, Shelby Celia at (360) 420-1335 or at sdc58@humboldt.edu to schedule a meeting time that works with your schedule.

Tutoring is done by students who have successfully completed Fundamentals of Speech Communication, Critical Thinking and Small Groups, Introduction to Argumentation, or Critical Listening and Thinking. Tutors work one-on-one with students from those classes who want help learning the concepts, studying for exams, or preparing speaking assignments. Tutoring not only helps you learn to work individually with people to improve their performances, but also demonstrates your willingness to be of service to others.

To become a tutor you must discuss your interests and qualifications with the department chair Maxwell Schnurer and enroll in SC 495: Field Experience, which can be repeated.
