Tutoring Center Spotlight

I am Tyree F. Watkins, and I primarily tutor English and Spanish. I love working in the DCC Peer Tutoring Center because we rally around one another as we are a family. We share in each other’s joys and sorrows. I enjoy tutoring DCC’s students because they come to us for help, and we offer them hope. It is amazing to see a student dedicate him or herself to the tutoring process, and then walk away with a higher letter grade.
