The ET (embedded tutoring) program was not sustained after the 22-23 academic school year (Title V grant funding ended). This year, tutors were not embedded in our MAT, BIO, or ACC courses. This CATS provides a reflective look into the success of the ET program from Spring/Fall 22.
Embedded tutors in MAT courses are an active presence in the classroom by modeling student engagement, providing academic assistance, investigating resources, encouraging independent thinking, facilitating discussion, providing outreach, and connecting students to campus resources.
Embedded tutoring creates an engaging and inclusive learning environment that fosters collaboration among students, tutors, faculty, and the Academic Success Center, which improves student confidence and academic achievement.
Student surveys report 62% of respondents say having an embedded tutor helped them feel comfortable asking for help. 60% of respondents report having an embedded tutor deepened their understanding of course topics and concepts. 49% of respondents report the embedded tutor improved their critical thinking skills.
Title V grant funding ended last year (22-23), and the ET program was not sustainable. Tutors were not embedded in our courses this year (23-24).
In Spring 2022, the MAT 114 success rate (students earning grades A, B, C or D) was 63.8% in courses with an embedded tutor and 51.8% in courses without an embedded tutor.
Additionally, the impact of student success was evaluated with equity - analyzing MEAN grades for First-Generation students and Race/Ethnicity

We focused on First-Gen and Hispanic/Latinx because these are EMCC’s largest student populations, and the focus of the Title V grant.
Students in ET supported classes had higher final grades than those in non-supported classes.
