The Tech Learning Center, or TLC, provides free tutoring in all the core subjects – math, chemistry, computer science, English, and physics, as well as biology and other subjects depending upon the tutors’ area of expertise. Any student enrolled in South Dakota universities is welcome to receive tutoring at the TLC.
By using the TLC several times during the day or week, students will find the tutors and times that work best for them. Study aids such as computers, textbooks, a television/VCR, and study guides are also available for student use.
Tutors are academically successful sophomore, junior, senior, graduate and non-traditional School of Mines students who have completed the courses they are tutoring and are familiar with the instructors’ expectations.
And just as important, they enjoy helping fellow students understand their subjects. The TLC staff also functions as a liaison between faculty and students when necessary and arranges tutoring to accommodate special circumstances or disabilities when needed.
The TLC is located in the Devereaux Library and during the fall and spring semesters is open seven days a week (schedule is limited during summer session).
Appointments are not necessary so you can just drop in when you have time.Tutors are available most hours between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm Monday through Thursday, from 8:00 am until 4:45 pm Friday, from noon until 4:45 pm on Saturday, and from noon until 9:00 pm on Sundays.
