The idea of students being self-supporting is very
much a part of the ethos of the University of Montevallo. Moreover, the Montevallo experience continues
to challenge the student body and to provide the support needed to empower its
students helping their individual growth.

Freshman tutee Eboni Wallace says, “with tutoring
being one-on-one you get more personal time like that personal connection that
you need to ask more questions and ask for more examples.”
A huge part of student growth at the University comes
from UM’s Learning Enrichment Center located on the lower level of CarMichael library.
According to the Director of the L.E.C., Randi Tubbs, “the mission is to assist
students in identifying their academic needs and to provide them with support
that will strengthen their academic skills.” This has been the mission since
the L.E.C. was first introduced to UM in 2009.
Today, on average 320 Montevallo students receive
tutoring services per year for free.
Subjects range from any of the foreign languages to:
Basic chemistry, general chemistry, pre-calculus
algebra, introductory physics, college physics, university physics, principles
of marketing, principles of accounting one & two, intermediate accounting,
business finance, quantitative methods, finite mathematics, the nature of
mathematics, pre-calculus trigonometry, pre-calculus algebra & trigonometry,
and statistics.
Lacie Sutherland who has tutored since 2012 says, “it’s
such a laid-back position and yet so professional. I love knowing I get paid to help fellow
students learn.”
