ENC 3254 Students Broward Hall Tutoring Center Gainesville, FL, 32611 August 7, 2011 Dana Rechsteiner Assistant Director of Special Projects Office of Contracts and Grants 123 Grinter Hall Gainesville, FL, 32611 Dear Mrs. Rechsteiner: Enclosed is a copy of "Proposal to Expand the University of Florida's Tutoring Center." This report is a summary of the problems with our current tutoring center and our proposed plan to increase tutoring and mentoring. Currently, the University of Florida's tutoring center is very limited. The main center near Broward Hall specializes in helping students that struggle with reading, writing, and mathematics while preparing them to be better test takers. However, students in other majors such as engineering and pre-medicine are forced to spend money in order to get the help they need due to the tutoring center's limitations. Many college campuses who have completed renovations to their tutoring centers have had an increased interest from their students as well as increased scores and GPAs. In order to solve this problem, we have proposed a plan that will re-locate the tutoring center to the HUB by building additional floors. The new and improved tutoring center will provide resources for students of all majors (both undergraduate and graduate) through the tutoring channel, online slideshows, and study packets. Incoming freshmen will be provided with a free trial semester where they can get used to the system and their needs will be targeted. The aim of this new program is help students gain life-long tips and helps, not just a way to prepare for an upcoming exam. We believe that our plan is very feasible and realistic. We are confident that if the grant is awarded to this project, it will benefit both the University of Florida and its students. I therefore submit the following proposal for your consideration. Please feel free to contact us at (352) 398-7777 if you have any questions and/or comments regarding the interpretation of the report. Sincerely, Bravo Research Team ENC 3254 Student
Tutoring Center Proposal
A B S T R AC TThe University of Florida provides it students with a number of re-
sources aimed at creating a positive and supportive learning envi-
ronment. Tutoring and academic support are among those resources
and are available through several college departments and student
programs. UF developed the Teaching Center in the early 1970’s to
help more students get access to tutoring and mentoring, and all in
one location. The Teaching Center is readily accessible to students on
campus, but it is nestled in the back section of Broward Hall dormi-
tory.
The program has evolved over the years and currently offers year-
round walk-in tutoring in subjects like math, science, engineering
and business. With its on-campus tutoring TV channel and online
video streaming, the center has taken steps towards increasing the
quality of their program. Even with these updates, low attendance

feasibility of expanding the center. The changes outlined in this pro-
posal are designed to bolster the existing Teaching Center and conse-
quently improve the UF learning experience.
E X E C U T I V E S U M M A RYExpanding the Teaching Center at the University of Florida is a great
way to provide students with the tools and support they need to suc-
ceed academically. The effect of this expansion really has the poten-
tial to extend beyond academic success for students. If students feel
prepared and supported, they will be more engaged, have more con-
learning experience the university provides.

dents help themselves. Essentially, a tutor uses their expertise to help
students become independent learners. From this perspective, tutor-
ing is more than just teaching someone new material, rather it is an
opportunity to identify and target the needs of individuals through
knowledge, honesty and understanding.

Tutoring Center Proposal
Some major problems with the Teaching Center stem from the fact
that it doesn’t have the tools or capacity to serve all the students that
need help. Because they only offer tutoring in limited subject areas,
students don’t get the comprehensive tutoring they need. Some stu-
dents have to resort to using tutoring services outside the university
and in many cases these students are paying a price, both monetarily
and academically.
For independent tutoring services, money is often times the driving
force of their business. As an institution of higher learning, UF’s re-
on-campus location will provide affordable support to students that
is consistent with the goals and standards of UF.
Several studies suggest that effective tutoring programs can lead to a

vidual success for students, but extend to the university as a whole.
Increases in student retention rates, support for undecided under-
graduate students and smoother academic and social transitioning
To make the research we’ve gathered a reality for UF, our technical
plan outlines the changes we propose to make. By relocating, increas-
ing facility hours, improving online and television tutorial services
and offering help to graduate students and students outside of UF,
the center has the opportunity to make an impact in the Gainesville
community.
The majority of the funds for this endeavor will be allocated towards
adding three new stories to the Hub to accomodate the new teaching

of the Gainesville community experience a lack of resources to help
better themselves in their educational classes. Although programs
do exist they are often limited to few classes or are too expensive for
students to afford. What Bravo group proposes is a state of the art tu-
toring center to help the students reach their full potential and maxi-
mize their learning experience here at the University of Florida.
The university currently has a small tutoring program which covers
sixteen classes from the areas of mathematics, science, engineering,
and business. The University of Florida offers thousands of classes to
students yet only sixteen of these classes are supplemented with ex-
tracurricular tutoring resources. What happens to the students who
only other option is to turn to outside programs like Tutoring Zone
who currently offers help for thirty three UF classes. Although an
improvement this number still does not scratch the surface of the ex-
tensive course options a student faces. What the university needs is a
center that will offer tutoring for a majority of courses that UF offers.
The basic sixteen classes, and perhaps a few more, can be continued
to be offered regularly with preset tutoring classes scheduled and the
television tutoring program that UF runs can continue to broadcast
as well. This allows the broader classes to reach a large general public

to employ graduate tutors and control the crowd sizes.
The second problems with alternative tutoring centers are the fees
dollars for a review session while Tutoring Train charges nineteen
dollars. Individually it is not a lot but if you need tutoring in mul-
tiple classes and there are three test in each class it could cost over
150 dollars for a single semester. For students who may be supporting

main that way to all UF students seeking help. The tutoring center
will however charge Santa Fe students or any other non-UF students
who wish to partake in tutoring sessions. These fees will help cover
the cost of the graduate tutors and tutoring center staff. The money
will also be made up by the means of new found revenue at conces-
by the tutoring center.
Another major problem with the current tutoring services is how
they tutor. The current UF tutoring center only offers tutoring in six-
teen classes and this tutoring often comes in the form of class review.
Tutoring Zone advertises their programs as test reviews. They only
teach you what will be on the test and that is it. Neither of these pro-
grams teach you the foundations for educational success.
A new aspect the updated tutoring center will offer is a program that
will teach students how to succeed in any class. It would include tips
on how to study, how to take notes, when to study, and other general
concepts like those. The class will be a general study skills class that
any student can take because it can be applied to any and all courses.
This will be an invaluable resource to the incoming freshman classes.

teen classes offered by UF then a short trip to Broward is not a prob-
lem. However if they seek help in a class outside of those sixteen then

Younger students may not own a car or scooter to travel and may
rely heavily on walking around campus. Both of the tutoring services
previously mentions are over ten blocks from the northeast corner of
campus. Although not a huge distance these review sessions are only
offered once or twice a week. Many students may not be able to make
job they work.
An on campus location would make it easier for student to attend
review sessions in between classes. Located in the heart of campus,
the HUB would be the perfect location for the tutoring center. Built

would provide concessions to students and allows a place for con-
gregation encouraging interaction before or after tutoring sessions to
compare notes or set up additional study groups. An on campus loca-
tion would be more convenient and would allow more students to
seek out tutoring services.
The proposed tutoring center will cover all of these problems that cur-
rent students are facing. It would allow for an expansion of course
offerings appealing to a wider student body across all disciplines. The
services would remain free allowing all students the opportunity for
study skill course for all students and encourage it strongly in fresh-
man to help students excel in all their classes. Finally the center will
be in the heart of campus allowing convenient access to all students
who attend the university.

A major problem the University of Florida’s campus tutoring center
experiences is the lack of visitors. Cook says the facility sees an aver-

the help they need there. Instead, they are forced to ask parents for
money or get an unwanted job in order to receive the appropriate
help from a high-priced tutoring center like Tutoring Zone. With the
tutoring center focusing solely on basic math, science, and reading,

follow ASU’s footsteps, they will see their students strive for success
and give the university a good reputation.
To conclude, online tutoring is a great way to deal with the subject
limitation. More and more things are done online everyday and this
provides a great resource that can accompany a wide range of sub-
jects for students to use for free. We feel these limitation issues were
handled the right way by ASU by providing a fun environment the
students want to be around rather than stressing themselves out pay-

The HUB is home to eating areas, computer labs, and late-night study

though. The Reitz Union has computer labs available for use as well

All University of Florida students will get to use the tutoring center
at no cost. The main goal of this program is to increase student suc-

process. If we were to charge students, low-income and high needs
students would be at a disadvantage and would not receive the help
they deserve. At the University of Florida, they strive to have their
students succeed and this tutoring center will help students along
that path. We hope to see increases in exam scores, GPAs, and gradu-
