How Tutoring Works
The Student Success & Tutoring Center is dedicated to providing students of Horry-Georgetown Technical College with quality academic support services to promote the development of skills for professional communication and lifelong learning.
Here鈥檚 what to expect:
Your tutor will prepare for your session by reviewing any materials you have provided in the shared folder in Penji, our scheduling app. The tutor will begin each session by inquiring about whatever assignment or project you are currently working on, also requesting your instructor鈥檚 assignment sheet. Please have a copy or access to this information handy.
Your session will last 30 minutes or 60 minutes, depending upon your request. If more tutoring is needed, you may schedule a follow-up appointment via Penji.
Please note: You may not book back-to-back sessions with your tutor without prior approval. Please see our Policy page for more information.
Here鈥檚 what we expect from you:
Tutors expect students to arrive on time, with a valid ID, and prepared for their sessions. Whether you are brainstorming, revising an existing draft of an assignment, or studying for a test, we ask that you arrive prepared to work! As a courtesy, please have your assignment instructions available to view, as well as any completed or graded work you wish to review.
If you need to miss your scheduled session, please cancel your session in Penji as soon as possible and notify the SSTC by emailing sstc@hgtc.edu or calling 843-349-7872. Please respect your tutor鈥檚 time by attending your sessions.
Please note: Students who miss 2 sessions will be unable to schedule future sessions.
Because we serve a large number of students with limited resources and staff, it is important that students show up for scheduled sessions and do so in a timely manner. Tardiness will be regarded as an absence if the student is more than 5 minutes late for a 30-minute session or more than 15 minutes late for a 60-minute session. If a student is absent due to no-shows or tardiness for two scheduled sessions within a 30-day period, the student will be restricted from scheduling further sessions for 30 days from the date of the last absence.
