The student Academic Consulting Center or better known as the SACC has been a very useful resource for me thus far in my education career here at Baruch. I personally have always struggled with math but baruch’s free math tutoring program has provided me with aid in achieving the grades that I am targeting. I recently went to the SACC many times for a math test. Scheduling the appointment was very easy and there were a lot of time slots available as well as many different peer tutors. I went to the SACC to learn derivatives and limits for my upcoming test. With my math teacher not being effective in teaching the material, the SACC taught me exactly what I need to know for the test and how to approach each problem step by step. SACC is not only known to be helpful to the students, but also is known for their academic integrity. I found out at the SACC that it is prohibited for them to do your homework with you. At first, I was frustrated about that, but the more I thought about it, the happier I became because it made me feel secure. It was a satisfying feeling knowing that the SACC is a legitimate peer tutoring program that values academic integrity.
The SACC also provided my friends and me a free studying space to study for our test without a peer tutor. This was significant in terms of our advancement with the material because it allowed us to go over the material amongst ourselves and not having to rely on the teacher to explain or walk us through the steps. When leaving the SACC, the people at the front desk gave me a nice smile goodbye and told me to have a good day. The SACC is more than just a peer tutoring program. The SACC is a comfortable place where I can feel I have dignity in admitting that I need help with math.
