Comments from international students who received tutor support

1. What is helpful or beneficial about receiving support from a tutor?

Receiving support from tutors is helpful because it provides a more approachable and accessible way to seek guidance, especially when students feel hesitant to directly ask the professor. Tutors can help clarify course content and act as a bridge between students and faculty. I’m very grateful for the support I’ve received from tutors in each course.
