University of the Cumberlands (Williamsburg, Kentucky)

Check out this month's ​​​​​​Spotlight, featuring University of the Cumberlands (UC) Director of the Learning Commons Emily Coleman, PhD.

With 6,000+ online tutoring sessions served over 4+ years, Coleman speaks to the reasons for UC's continued partnership and the vital role student awareness plays in the program's success:

What have you found to be the most important aspect of supporting your students?

At UC, we firmly believe in meeting students where they are and providing the necessary support to help them achieve their goals. Whether they are traditional or non-traditional students, all students face numerous demands on their time. Tutor.com enables us to offer quality tutoring support to all students at a time that is best for their schedule. With 24/7 access to tutoring resources from any location with Wi-Fi, we provide the flexibility that our students need to succeed.

Why did University of the Cumberlands choose Tutor.com to deliver online tutoring to your students, and what needs are met by providing this service?

With a large online student population, we have learners from around the globe accessing their classes. Given this diversity in locations, it was crucial to find a tutoring support resource that could assist students regardless of their time zone. Tutor.com has proven to be the on-demand and flexible tutoring support resource we needed!

What results or feedback have you seen in terms of student satisfaction?

We have students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels using the Tutor.com system, and overall, they have expressed high satisfaction. We appreciate the comprehensive administrator dashboard that Tutor.com offers, as it allows us to closely monitor student usage and satisfaction throughout the school year.

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?

We recognized that our students needed the flexibility that Tutor.com offers in terms of tutoring support. However, when we first started using Tutor.com, student engagement was not as high as we had expected. To address this, we partnered with several classes to incorporate Tutor.com into their assignments and launched targeted postcard and email campaigns to raise awareness.

Once we increased awareness of the platform, usage skyrocketed! Initially, some students hesitated to use the system because they believed it was an artificial intelligence bot providing assistance. However, once they realized they were interacting with real people who could offer timely and quality feedback, they began using the system more frequently and returned repeatedly for support.

"[My tutor] was extremely helpful! With only a brief introduction and a quick look at my resume, she was able to put together very strong questions for me to answer in a mock-interview format. And, she also answered general questions I had about the process of applications and interviews, in relation to my career interests, with great insight and poise.
