Testimonial
“While attending SCC, I was struggling greatly with CISP 360 which is a programming class. After bombing the first exam, I was pointed in the direction of the Programming lab. To my surprise, the guy working as a student tutor was a regular student of mine in the Math Lab. So he became both my student and my tutor that semester. I remember saying, "Can you get me through programming?" to which he replied, "Can you get me through calculus?". We instantly came to an understanding that we would do our very best to help the other pass their class, and we did. By the end of the semester, we both had B+ in our classes.”
