"The first step towards improvement is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." - Chauncey Depew
Welcome! Tutoring is not only for people who are struggling in a course. Tutoring is for those who wish to improve their performance and understanding in a course. Whether your goal is to get from struggling to passing, or good to great, tutoring can help anyone wishing to get a better handle of the material. We welcome all students who have a passion for learning, and are committed to personal and academic excellence.
Tutoring is a free service to Coahoma Community College students.
