The SSP Tutoring Experience

"Not only did I learn to tutor students, I learned to tutor myself. I became a better communicator both in my writing and speaking."

— Cody C.

"Through helping others, I have in turn helped myself. My leadership skills have improved and I am more aware of the cultural diversity here on campus."

— Kelli K.
