The Student Learning Center at Fayetteville Technical Community College recently relocated to the first floor of the Paul H. Thompson Library and celebrated with a grand opening ceremony held in January. There’s always something to celebrate at the Student Learning Center, as our tutors work collaboratively with instructors to enhance classroom instruction with additional one-on-one assistance to help students achieve success.
Serving as a resource for encouragement and support, the staff at the Student Learning Center provides a welcoming environment for all students. FTCC’s students are diverse, with some being recent high school graduates and some not having been in a classroom environment for years. Tutors at the Student Learning Center recognize that community college students have a variety of life circumstances to manage in addition to their educational goals, and they work hard to bridge the gap that might exist for some students between classroom instruction and overall academic success. With online education representing some portion of the overall learning experience for many students, staff at the Student Learning Center work with new students to help them successfully navigate the Learning Management System used at FTCC for course management.
The instructors at the Student Learning Center are eager to help students focus on their grades and overcome obstacles by bridging the gap between classroom and mastery of content. Instructors at the SLC are trained to assist students in subjects such as English, math, science, computer information, accounting, and foreign languages.
Instructors at the Student Learning Center understand that students learn in different ways, and they assess students’ needs to identify the best method for instructional delivery. The Student Learning Center strives to promote a welcoming atmosphere that removes student anxiety and promotes positive learning experiences, including comfortable seating, computers, laptops, and opportunities for group collaboration within instructional rooms. The Student Learning Center uses mobile whiteboards and whiteboard tables to promote interactive learning activities. Students often choose to study at the Student Learning Center between or after classes. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, the Student Learning Center provides NetTutor Online Tutoring Services for students, which are conveniently available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Access to the many benefits of the Student Learning Center is free, and no appointment is necessary. Students simply present their student ID for quick, easy access.
At FTCC, we believe that education enriches one’s life, helps students reimagine their futures, and is the key to upward mobility. The Student Learning Center is one of the many resources available at FTCC that extends classroom instruction to bridge learning gaps and help students not only access but also stay on the road to a bright, successful future. We invite students to visit with us at the Student Learning Center to experience personalized learning in personalized ways that make the academic experience superior and rewarding.
