Tutors Without Borders

Welcome to the Tutors without Borders program web site. Tutors without Borders places tutors in, around, and near classrooms across Red Rocks Community College. Tutors do the same things in, around, and near classrooms that they do in the Learning Commons, including

• Working one-on-one with students to help them grasp challenging concepts
• Working in small groups with students to facilitate activities or exercises
• Speaking to large groups of students about services or concepts

Students who interact with tutors in their classrooms are more likely to seek out tutoring independently. Instructors who have tutors in, around, or near their classrooms report that their students better understand course material.

You’ll find sample assignments and activities involving tutors here.

Here’s what some participating instructors have said about the program:

“I really appreciated being able to talk to a tutor about myessay assignments, and the students felt more comfortable going to the Learning Commons to work with a tutor after working with one in class.” –Laura Zeeman

“More learning occurs in a class when there are more brains in the classroom.” –Marjorie Berman
