Student Success and Learning Support Center
The mission of the Student Success & Learning Support Center is to improve student retention by preventing academic problems from interfering with attainment of educational goals.
Open to all registered Georgia Piedmont Technical College students, the Student Success & Learning Support Center offers free academic tutoring services in math, reading, and English, based on learning styles and individual student needs. Availability of tutors for specific subjects varies from one semester to the next. The Center is also equipped with computerized tutorials which are designed to help students improve skills in math, reading, and writing. These tutorials encourage each student to become actively involved in developing thinking skills necessary for effective problem-solving.
The Student Success & Learning Support Center additionally provides remediation and language assistance to credit students identified as ESL. Tutors are available to aid students by creating individualized instructional plans that include language-specific challenges that support in building grammar, reading, vocabulary, and listening skills.
Throughout the semester, class orientation sessions are conducted with a focus on a variety of topics such as study and test taking skills, stress and time management, building self-esteem, and career decision-making. ACCUPLACER handouts are available to help students prepare for the placement test. Student Success & Learning Support Center locations:
