TUTORING INFORMATION

Brittany (DESBrittanyR)

Brittany's Tip! "Learn to embrace time and change. Time is your most valuable asset; you can only use it once and you can never get it back. Change is a constant meaning; you can’t avoid it. Change will happen and must happen. So, ask your self these questions, “What is my daily routine?” and, “How do I spend my time?”. Without incorporating change, what you do today will be what you do in the future."

Debby (DESDebbyP)

Debby's Tip! "When you find something challenging to do, it's okay because it presents the opportunity to gain more skills. If something is easy, you already had the ability to do it. So, do whatever it takes to get through the challenging times because, in the long run, you'll be stronger."

Live Help is a tutoring service staffed by professional tutors (they hold degrees in the subjects they tutor in, but are not familiar with specific Rasmussen courses and assignments) and they are available to help in a variety of topics. Some, like algebra tutors, are available 24/7. Live Help does not require an appointment and can be accessed during that subject's available times. Java, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS support are all available under Design in Live Help!
