Which service helps students improve understanding of course material through one-on-one or small-group sessions?

• A. Counseling
• B. Tutoring
• C. Academic Advisement
• D. Disability Services

Answer: (B)

Direct, personalized help with the material is what tutoring offers. A tutor works with you one‑on‑one or in a small group to explain difficult concepts, go through problem‑solving steps, review notes, and provide targeted feedback. This focused interaction helps you spot where your understanding falls short, practice applying ideas, and build confidence, which together improves your mastery of the course material.

Counseling focuses on emotional or personal support, not typically on academic instruction. Academic advisement helps with choosing courses and planning a degree or program, rather than teaching or reinforcing specific course concepts. Disability services arrange accommodations and supports to ensure access and equal opportunity, rather than providing regular instructional help.
