Tutoring Services & Programs

P.A.S.S. Team

The P.A.S.S. Team members consist of professional staff who are experts in a variety of academic support areas. We have experts who can provide tutoring in a variety of subject areas through one-on-one tutoring or Supplemental Instruction sessions. We also have experts who provide Academic Workshops that spotlight topics such as: study skills, test taking strategies, note taking tips, avoiding plagiarism, utilizing research databases and many more.

S.E.E.D. Team

The S.E.E.D. Team is compromised of Otero students who have completed at least one semester of college and have a cumulative GPA of a 3.0 or higher. These individuals assist fellow students through peer tutoring or through being a student ambassador. As peer tutors they assist in subject areas that they received a B or higher. They provide tutoring through one-on-one sessions and Peer-Led Undergraduate Study sessions. As student ambassadors they help current Otero students with day-to-day questions and resources, while also providing prospective students through campus tours, student panels, and other duties on-campus.
