Kilgore College (Kilgore, Texas)

Curious what a longstanding partner has to say about their school's Tutor.com program?

Read on to hear insights and best practices from Karen Dulweber, Director of QEP & Writing Studios at Kilgore College:

Rationale for Partnership

Kilgore College’s most recent Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) focused on enhancing writing across the curriculum.

While the college established an on-campus Writing Studio to support this initiative, there was a clear need to extend academic support beyond the physical lab’s operating hours.

Tutor.com has successfully filled this gap for the past eight years, providing students with continuous access to writing assistance and other academic support services.

Student Needs Addressed

Tutor.com meets several critical needs for Kilgore College students:

24/7 Availability: Students can access tutoring support at any time, regardless of their course modality (dual credit, online, hybrid, or in person).
Specialized Subject Support: Tutor.com offers tutoring in a wide range of subject areas that the college’s on-campus services are not equipped to cover.

Best Practices and Recommendations

To maximize the effectiveness of the Tutor.com partnership, Kilgore College has implemented the following best practices:

Allocated Hours: Each student receives four hours of tutoring per course during 8-week, 16-week, Mini, and Summer sessions.
Instructor Engagement: The Tutor.com liaison regularly reminds instructors to embed the Tutor.com link in their LMS courses to ensure student access.
Promotion Strategies: Awareness is boosted through flyers, posters, email campaigns, and social media outreach.

Additional Insights

Tutor.com has consistently demonstrated responsiveness to the needs of Kilgore College. Representatives address issues promptly and efficiently.

Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tutor.com allowed the college to use its platform for virtual tutoring by campus-based tutors.

Their flexibility and support have made the partnership a resounding success.
