What have you found to be the most important aspect of supporting your students?
At Denmark Technical College (DTC), the most important aspect of supporting students through Tutor.com is providing them with personalized, on-demand academic assistance tailored to their individual learning needs.
This approach not only helps students grasp challenging concepts but also builds their confidence and fosters independent learning.
With 24/7 access to expert tutors across various subjects, Tutor.com ensures timely assistance, which is essential for reinforcing understanding and promoting academic success.
Additionally, the platform’s high level of quality assurance ensures accountability and continuous support, creating a reliable and effective learning environment for students.
Why did Denmark Technical College choose Tutor.com to deliver online tutoring to your students, and what needs are met by providing this service?
DTC chose Tutor.com to deliver online tutoring services as part of its strategic effort to enhance academic support and drive student success. The decision reflects DTC’s deep understanding of the challenges that students face in balancing coursework, personal responsibilities, and access to essential academic resources.
Tutor.com was selected because of its proven ability to offer 24/7 on-demand support from expert tutors across a wide range of subjects, providing students with timely assistance when they need it most—whether during evenings, weekends, or in preparation for exams and major assignments.
This flexibility is particularly vital for DTC’s diverse student population, which includes first-generation college students, adult learners, and those pursuing technical programs, all of whom benefit from tailored, accessible academic guidance.
The integration of Tutor.com into DTC’s learning management system (LMS) ensures seamless navigation and ease of use, eliminating barriers to access and enabling students to engage with the platform as a natural extension of their learning environment.
By offering real-time tutoring, students gain immediate clarity on challenging concepts, which supports academic confidence and promotes persistence in their studies.
Additionally, this service empowers faculty by reinforcing classroom instruction, as instructors can refer students to the platform for targeted support.
The partnership addresses vital needs, such as increasing student retention, persistence, and graduation rates, while fostering a culture of continuous learning and achievement.
Ultimately, Tutor.com serves as a key pillar in DTC’s commitment to empowering students to thrive academically and professionally, equipping them with the tools and support they need to succeed in their educational journeys.

Students consistently express that the platform provides timely, accessible, and effective support, allowing them to grasp challenging concepts and improve their academic performance.
The 24/7 availability has been especially valuable, as it enables students to access assistance whenever they need it most, including evenings and weekends.
Additionally, students praise the tutors’ expertise and the platform’s user-friendly design, which helps make the learning process smoother and far less stressful.
As a result, we’ve seen students grow in their confidence and experience greater satisfaction in their academic progress. These outcomes highlight the continued value of Tutor.com as a tool for fostering student success, and we are excited to see its ongoing impact on our college community.
The last few years have been challenging for students in higher education institutions. Is there any advice or best practices you would like to share with other higher education administrators?
Some best practices for us that other institutions can incorporate include actively promoting Tutor.com as a valuable resource through orientations, class announcements, email campaigns, and campus events.
To ensure easy access, the platform should be integrated directly into the college's LMS, allowing students to utilize the service with a single click.
Additionally, clear instructions on how to use Tutor.com should be provided, emphasizing its availability, particularly if it offers 24/7 access, to encourage students to take full advantage of the support available to them.
"This tutoring session has been extremely beneficial! The insights on sentence structure and organization have significantly impacted me, and I now feel more assured about enhancing the flow of my writing. The idea of incorporating transitional phrases hadn’t occurred to me before, but I can see how it will clarify my ideas. I also value the confirmation regarding my topic sentences and the absence of sentence fragments. The recommendations are very practical and feasible, and I’m eager to implement them. Thank you very much for your support!"
