Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC)
Our staff and facilities promote academic success by providing free services to all currently enrolled students at South Florida State College, students who are participating in approved programs, and alumni of the college no matter what the assignment, campus, or skill level.
The labs are a welcoming environment conducive to the college learning process where students can:
- participate in one-on-one or group tutoring sessions in a personalized setting;
- obtain assistance and feedback from knowledgeable Math and Composition/Humanities faculty members, specialists, and Work Study student tutors;
- get a helping hand with any learning need or assignment;
- locate supplemental learning resources;
- organize study, discussion, and tutoring groups;
- conduct online research;
- access email and Brightspace;
- prepare, work on, and complete coursework/study; and
- consult a librarian upstairs with research questions.
In an effort to document student usage and support enhanced services, the AccuTrack system is available in both labs. This user-friendly system requires students to sign in and out using their student identification or GID number.
