Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental instruction is offered in courses that are historically difficult for students. A former student who excelled in the class facilitates group study sessions where students work together to practice the material through activities. These sessions are held weekly at a time that accommodates student’s schedules. Supplemental Instruction is a free service and participation is voluntary.

My name is Sowda Elmi. I am from Somalia. When I started going to Central Community College, I used to have a lot of difficulty because of the different language and I never knew much about school. Until one day I was talking to my teacher about how I can get more help. She told me I could visit the tutoring center which could give me more help, and try to explain things better to me. I was very happy. I really enjoy it, especially with my writing skills and math problems. Trust me, if you visit the tutoring center, you will not regret it. There is always someone to help you.
