 Southwest Texas College (Uvalde, Texas)
The success of Southwest Texas College's Tutor.com program is not just in its many outreach best practices—proactive classroom presentations, open hours, early alert utilization, regular reminders in various channels, and usage data monitoring.
It's also in the culture the College is creating around academic support.
Read on for enlightening words from Success Coach/Special Programs Lead Ana Lisa Conde, M. Ed.:
Why did your institution choose to partner with Tutor.com?
Our institution chose to partner with Tutor.com’s 24/7 online tutoring platform because we are deeply committed to supporting our students’ academic success and well-being at every step of their educational journey.
We understand that learning doesn’t just happen during typical school hours, and students may need help at any time, whether it’s late in the evening, on weekends, or during busy periods before exams.
By providing around-the-clock access to qualified tutors across a wide variety of subjects, we ensure that our students always have the resources they need, right when they need them most.
This partnership reflects our dedication to meeting students where they are, reducing barriers to learning, and empowering everyone to achieve their full potential. We’re grateful to have this valuable support in place for our academic community.
What needs are met by providing Tutor.com to your students?
Tutor.com’s 24/7 online tutoring meets the need for accessible, flexible, and personalized academic support—helping learners get help anytime, reduce stress, and succeed in their studies.
Please describe a unique or interesting outreach feature or initiative of your institution's Tutor.com program.
One of the key ways our institution promotes the Tutor.com program is through proactive classroom presentations.
At the start of each semester and during important academic milestones, our team organizes in-class sessions to introduce students directly to Tutor.com. We demonstrate how simple it is to connect with a tutor and provide immediate answers to any questions.
This personalized approach breaks down barriers to online tutoring and motivates students to seek assistance early and consistently.
Additionally, our Student Success Center highlights Tutor.com during high-pressure periods such as midterms and finals, ensuring all students know about, and can easily access, academic help when they need it most.
Through these outreach initiatives, we make academic support feel accessible and approachable, while our continued communication helps create a welcoming, supportive campus atmosphere.
Our Center also offers open hours where students, faculty, and staff can drop in to inquire about Tutor.com’s services. This relaxed, inclusive environment helps students feel both comfortable and supported.
We also utilize the early alerts feature to identify and reach out to students who may benefit from additional academic support.
Is there any advice or best practices you would like to share with other Tutor.com program managers?
At our institution, I’ve found it incredibly valuable to consistently promote awareness of Tutor.com by regularly reminding both students and faculty about the service through emails, updates on our website, and by making sure it’s easily accessible directly from Canvas®.
The more frequently everyone hears about this wonderful resource, the more likely they are to take advantage of it when they need support.
In addition to spreading the word, we also keep a close eye on usage data—such as which subjects are most popular and what times students are logging on. This allows us to notice patterns, address any gaps, and ensure that we’re truly meeting our students’ needs.
