Many new Germanna students are getting a jump start on their
college education by enrolling in classes this summer. It’s important to be
aware of the abundance of free academic support services available. Since most
summer classes proceed at an accelerated pace, students should seek tutoring
assistance through our Tutoring Services at the first sign that they need
additional instructional assistance.
Students can schedule appointments for individual tutoring
appointments by calling or visiting the Locust Grove or Fredericksburg Tutoring
Centers or by submitting an appointment request directly from the Tutoring
website. Students at the Daniel and Stafford Centers may call our offices to
schedule tutoring sessions via Blackboard Collaborate. Walk-in assistance is
also available in our Writing and Math Center at the Fredericksburg and Locust
Grove campuses. Please refer to the Tutoring
Services Web page for specific hours.
If students are unable to visit the Locust Grove or
Fredericksburg Tutoring Centers, they may be interested in participating in
online tutoring sessions through Smarthinking. Enrolled students have already
been pre-registered for Smarthinking, so they may participate in “live”
tutoring sessions or submit their writing assignments for review to the essay
center.
As students prepare for placement tests, write research
papers, or complete homework assignments, please let them know that there are
many helpful handouts available to them from the Tutoring Centers or from the
tutoring website. Students can also access over 4,000 Khan Academy videos from
the tutoring Web page in subjects
ranging from algebra and statistics to economics and physics.
