These headaches are however something of the past thanks to the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) on the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campus in Vanderbijlpark.
CTL recently opened a Math and Stats Centre where face-to-face tutoring in a welcoming, friendly and supportive environment is offered to all students. And best of all? The service is rendered free of charge.
The team from CTL recently took to the campus to promote the centre among students, and invited students to visit the venue, meet with the tutors and the centre manager, Erna Bisschoff.
According to Erna, the centre represents a one-stop learning hub and offers students access to a wide-range of traditional and innovative learning resources to facilitate better understanding and enhance knowledge acquisition.
Since the commencement of the centre’s services in May 2019, the number of students visiting the centre has grown in leaps and bound. Leading up to the exams in June more than 300 students benefitted from the service.
Erna adds that the walk-in service differs from other academic support initiatives in the sense that individual attention is given immediately when needed – opposed to students having to wait for scheduled supplemental instruction (SI) or mentoring and tutoring sessions.
