Many have continued their education at four-year universities or pursued professional certifications in their fields. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality personalized instruction aligned with NIC's academic standards.

Alumni tutors excel in core subjects taught at NIC, including mathematics, sciences, English composition, business courses, and general education requirements.

They can help you navigate common stumbling blocks, prepare for exams in the way your professor structures them, and develop study strategies that align with North Idaho College's teaching approach. This contextual knowledge makes tutoring more efficient and directly applicable to your coursework.
