The mission of the Longview Learning Center – Tutoring program is to promote student learning, enhance the chances for student success, and contribute to student retention through academic support inside and outside of the classroom.

1. To support MCC students through their coursework in the development of their writing as a transferable skill in whichever field they pursue.

2. To provide tools for research that prioritize options, finding solutions, and evaluating selections.

3. To equip with the strategies to communicate clearly and effectively, particularly with thesis statements, supporting main points, and powerful conclusions.  

4. To facilitate collaborative peer-to-peer learning environments, where tutors share successful action steps with other students.

5. To encourage curiosity and reflection about writing so that students strengthen their ideas and written voice.
