Student tutors and staff members from the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Academic Achievement Center delivered three presentations at the recent Georgia Tutoring Association Conference in Macon.

AAC Coordinator Rebecca Cofer said the three presentations included “Sorting You: Hogwarts School of Tutoring Personality,” “STEM the Tide: Retention under the Microscope,” and “Challenge Accepted: Working with Today’s Challenging Students.” With nine student tutors attending, ABAC was one of the only undergraduate programs to give presentations at the conference.  

“The tutors are primarily Level III who used this opportunity to complete certification requirements for the College Reading and Learning Association,” Cofer said.  “Level III is the highest level a tutor can achieve.

“To accomplish this, tutors must do several leadership activities on campus and complete all Level One and Level Two requirements. ABAC tutors receive 12 hours of training for each semester they are employed by the Academic Achievement Center.”

The AAC is available for ABAC students to study and obtain free tutoring Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
