Welcome to the SDCC English Tutorial Center in Room C-226!

The Center for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, English as a Second Language (ESOL), and Critical Thinking

The Center offers peer tutoring for reading, writing, speaking and listening, and critical thinking assignments in classes across the curriculum.  No matter what your needs are in reading, writing, or speaking and listening, we can help you! When you enroll in the English Center, you may also use the English Center Computer Lab.  We offer word-processing, internet access, grammar programs, and more.  While in the Lab, you may use the computers to do word processing, use the internet, check e-mail, and even receive tutoring assistance while you write your paper.

The Center staff and peer tutors serve San Diego City College and the Educational Cultural Complex, and we are dedicated to facilitating successful learning outcomes.

The English Center provides peer tutoring to students at no cost, in the belief that student to student tutoring is a viable and advantageous tool to facilitate the learning process. Our Peer Tutors are selected for their subject knowledge, patience, and their ability to communicate and encourage students.  Our tutors are undergraduate and graduate students at San Diego City College, UCSD, and SDSU.

Our mission at the English Tutorial Center is to provide high quality academic and Career/Technical support to all City and ECC College students. We believe that students and their learning experiences are of primary concern, so we are committed to preparing students in becoming independent learners who will succeed in academics and academic skills in the collegiate setting.  In addition, the Center encourages and fosters a culturally diverse and inclusive environment and develops student self esteem, confidence, and persistence.
