LTCC beefs up learning center

1/08 tahoe mt. news

Each quarter hundreds of students seek a little extra academic help at Lake Tahoe Community College. This quarter it won’t mean a trek into the cold.
What used to be the library above the commons area in the main building is now the Tutoring and Learning Center or TLC. It houses all of the college’s learning support components – tutoring, assessment testing, a quiet room to take tests.
Two classrooms are part of the mix, as well as centers devoted to math and writing tutoring.
“It really provides a cohesive location and environment for support services,” said Lori Gaskin, vice president of academic affairs and students services. “We gutted the whole upstairs.”
Tutoring was in portables near the parking lot leading to the demonstration garden. Portables are now classrooms.
