Our Mission
Our tutoring program has been internationally certified

Since its inception, the goal has been active and collaborative learning that leads all participants — students and tutors — to improve as critical thinkers. The LC promotes student-centered activities and services that develop appreciation and respect for diverse learning styles and cultural backgrounds.
The LC exists in partnership with other student support organizations on the RCTC campus to expand opportunities for students to grow and develop as learners. The LC also believes in strong partnerships with faculty members and course work in the various disciplines.
