Tutoring Center
The Tutoring Center is one of the four centers within the CAPS hub. Each center (Tutoring, Math, Writing, and ESL) provides tutoring services to all HCC students free of charge. The Tutoring Center can assist students with a wide range of subjects from A to Z which means they cover a broad spectrum of academic disciplines including Accountancy to Zoology and everything in between. This type of service can be invaluable for students seeking help with their courses and wanting to improve their academic performance.
Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental instruction offers academic assistance in the critical first six weeks, and throughout the semester to students in traditionally challenging courses. In informal peer-directed study sessions, students compare notes, discuss course content, develop organizational skills, and share test-taking strategies.
Learning Coaches
Feeling overwhelmed by your coursework? You may benefit from weekly sessions with a learning coach: a specialist who teaches you strategies to improve reading comprehension, math problem solving, and writing skills. Your coach will focus on time management, note-taking, organization, test anxiety, study skills, and critical thinking. With this level of one-on-one support, you can easily stay on track and succeed academically.

Workshops & Seminars
Small group instruction is offered throughout the academic year on topics designed to improve a student's progress at the college. Topics include stress management, assertiveness, note-taking, and test preparation. Schedules and announcements for these events are posted on college bulletin boards.
