Testimonial
"While I loved my undergraduate science and math classes, many were very challenging for me. I wanted to do well in my classes, so I frequently sought out tutoring. Having a person or a small group to talk through the concepts with was vital to my success as a biology major. I will always encourage students to seek out whatever support they need to be successful. Always be active and take charge of your education!"
Julie Oliver, Biology Faculty
