Patrick Henry College offers tutoring services for on-campus and distance learning students through the Study Support Center (contact us at ssc@phc.edu). Upperclassmen who have excelled in their studies are selected to serve as peer tutors to those who are struggling academically or those who simply have questions about their studies. Tutors can help you with time-management issues, with your writing, and with subject-specific questions. They can offer advice on study habits, suggest ways to improve your papers, and help you work through your assignments. These positions are paid by the school, and students receive tutoring services at no extra charge.
