University Offers Free Tutoring for First-Year Students

The university has announced that beginning in the fall semester, all incoming students will be eligible for free tutoring throughout their first year. According to Academic Veronica Norton, the program is being introduced to support students who may struggle academically as they transition from high school to college. Also, the tutoring will be arranged so that students can be matched with tutors who are majoring in the same field of study, ensuring that the help they receive is directly relevant to their courses.

Listening

Transcript

Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the article.

Man: Hey, did you read about this plan?

Woman: Yeah, and I think it’s a really great idea.

Man: Why is that?

Woman: Well, a lot of new students really need this. I mean, it’s not just about getting extra help with the course material, they’ll probably also get information about things like taking notes or the best way to study for exams.

Man: Yeah, I barely even knew how to do those things when I first came here.

Woman: Neither did I. So these are things most students wind up having to learn on their own at first. That’s why so many of them have a hard time.

Man: And it’s probably good that they can work with somebody who has the same interests.

Woman: Right. That would be a real advantage. To get information about the classes you’re gonna need to take from somebody who has already taken those classes, and they could recommend professors and tell you who the best advisers in the department are, things like that.

Man: I see what you mean. So new students could get access to information about the program from another student’s point of view.

Woman: Exactly.
