Please note, while personal attention is guaranteed, students are still expected to maintain an open dialogue with their professors. Tutoring is no substitute for a close working relationship with Truman faculty. While the MAC and Success Center make their best efforts to academically support students, we encourage them to make the most of the tutoring experience by keeping professors informed of their progress. Requests for tutoring are processed and responded to in the order in which they are received. The MAC and Success Center do their best to match requests with an appropriate tutor in a quick, timely manner; however, at times we can be restricted by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the academic calendar, tutor availability, finances, etc.). It is best to request tutoring early in the semester and meet continually with an assigned tutor throughout the semester.

"Students find it helpful when math problems are explained from different perspectives. We have eleven tutors selected from a broad range of majors, all of whom have had different math experiences from virtually all math professors at Truman State University. These tutors often offer different strategies for interpreting and solving problems."
- Melvin Omodon
Former Tutor Coordinator, Case Western Medical Student
