Why the Tutorial Program

Grades in college and university study are very important.
This program provides an opportunity to practice for higher learning.

The tutorials are not limited to the college bound and can be used by anyone wishing to learn more about philosophy or improve their thinking skills in general.

Colleges and universities are fairly notorious in being unforgiving of bad grades and bad grades rarely fail to haunt one’s academic career. Grades are a sorting process used to help determine employability and acceptability for future studies and thus they are treated very carefully. Good grades can open doors and mediocre to poor grades close doors and bad grades, like good grades, do not disappear. Many, if not all accredited schools, reserve the right to revoke one’s status as a student if one fails to accurately report every class one has taken for college credit. Grades are taken very seriously; and they should be taken very seriously.

Tutoring in college and before college is quite common and can be of great value in both learning and in terms of grade averages.This program offers a chance to prepare for college by taking a college class in a tutorial relationship. The material for the class will be the same as a college course only it is a mock-class, a class that will not go into one’s academic record. A real chance to really practice for the big game! The tutorial program, in addition, provides the student with a kind of regular contact and discussion that is really not possible in a lecture setting with more than a handful of students.

The program, of course, is not limited to those who wish to prepare for college and university studies and is suited from anyone wishing to improve their reading and writing skills or their understanding of philosophy. No previous exposure to philosophy is assumed or is necessary and the courses are designed to take one step-by-step through the reading. More than any other study philosophy ties other intellectual pursuits together and attempts to make some sense and order out of the varied bits of data and information. Whether beginning one’s academic career, well past any desire to return formally to school or anywhere in between the study of philosophy can be highly beneficial.
