We made it to week 2, which means the Hannon Library’s Tutoring Center is now open to support our students with free peer-based tutoring! 

 

Our peer tutors are current SOU students, specializing in Math, Science, and Writing general topics, with specific subject and class expertise varying by term and tutor.

 

Tutors cannot do your work for you, but can provide guidance to help you be successful: by answering questions and providing feedback, assisting with understanding concepts, sharing time-management and planning techniques, and offering tips to improve your writing abilities for any class.

 

Students can make an appointment for 30 or 60 minute sessions either in person or on Zoom (or drop-in per tutor availability). Tutoring sessions can be individual or in small groups when applicable. 

 

To make an appointment, see weekly hours, tutor bios, and other tutoring resources visit the Tutoring Center website.

Our tutors look forward to empowering you with skills and encouragement!

His passion for bringing the hidden tales of Southern Oregon to life is infectious!

But wait, there’s more! John’s talk, “A Grower’s Eye-View of Winemaking,” isn’t just about grapes and soil. He’ll be sharing firsthand experiences, from the highs to the lows, and shedding light on why the Rogue Valley is making waves in the wine world.

Can’t make it in person? No worries! We’ve got a Zoom Link ready for you to join virtually. And yes, it’s all on the house!
