CPZ Introduction Spiel - English Flashcards
Good ___________, everyone!
My name is Ben Reitz, and I’m the College Prep Zone Coordinator for Red Rocks Tutoring Services.
[INSTRUCTOR] has been so generous as to allow me some time to chat with you all about the College Prep Zone and the resources that we can provide for students enrolled in your class!
First of all, what is the College Prep Zone?
The College Prep Zone, or CPZ as we call it, that is normally located in the SW corner of the Learning Commons area (temporarily displaced) and is the tutoring center specifically dedicated to serving students enrolled in early level Math and English classes.
That includes your class, which is great news for all of you, because…
…that means that you will have access to both the Writing Center and the CPZ.
And while the Writing Center is a terrific resource (whose services I can’t recommend highly enough), tutors in CPZ serve such a select student group that they can often provide more frequent, immediate and leisurely assistance than is always possible for WC to provide, given the high volume of student use in that center.
Tutors in CPZ can provide things like…
1) Help with writing assignments, along any of the phases of the writing process
2) Help with other homework assignments for this class
3) Writing handouts for your reference in grammar, formatting, citations, etc…
We try to make our process as unintimidating as possible…
how it works is you simply walk into our lab space during a time that CPZ English tutor is on duty - consult our online schedule for that - get comfortable at a table, raise a yellow flag when you need assistance and a tutor will come to help you just as soon as they see the flag go up.
Not only do we try to make our processes as unintimidating as possible, we also try to make our…
…tutoring sessions free from the intimidation factor tutoring can have a reputation for…
CPZ tutors are not only qualified and knowledgeable, they are also friendly and patient and won’t look down on you for not knowing something already, [or any other nightmare scenarios we imagine when we think about seeking tutoring help]
Another thing to remember is that tutoring is not just for those struggling in a class.
The CPZ is a great resource, that many students use who are already excelling and simply want to maintain a high standard of performance for themselves.
So please make use of our services…come and see us!
We’d love to help you be successful in your class this semester.
Are there any questions?
Great! Well, I will go ahead and hand out these fliers to you: they have a QR code that goes right to our website with our schedule for this spring semester.
[pass out fliers]
Thank you, and we hope to see you in the CPZ soon!
