At the STEAM Center for Applied Creativity and Innovation, we offer tutoring for Elementary and Middle School students for reading and mathematics.

How does tutoring work?

First, make an appointment with a tutor by:

  • Calling our office at 229.253.2985,
  • Emailing us at steamcenter@valdosta.edu, or
  • Dropping by the STEAM Center located at 1302 North Patterson Street. 

Next, come to STEAM Center on time, check in with Mary Shilts, and...

  • Bring your assignments, drafts, homework, and textbooks so you can fully explain to your tutor what you are trying to accomplish or don’t understand. 
  • Understand that your grade is your responsibility; tutors will not do homework for you. 
  • Expect to be listened to and encouraged as you work with a tutor.
