The Tradition of the Non -Traditional Student

Non-traditional students are quickly outgrowing their name since their numbers are increasing all across the globe, making them anything but non-traditional.  If you are a student, who is older than the average college student (i.e. 18-22 years old) or has intermittently continued your college education, you are generally considered a non-traditional student, and that means relatively that your life is atypical of a younger college student.  You might have children, hold a fulltime job, take online or night classes, or all of the above.  In any case, you will face challenges unique to your situation, most of which deal with balancing your work and class schedules and/or that of your family to boot.  

Public and private educational institutions are making laudable progress is accommodating non-traditional students.  That means more online classes, optional early morning and night classes, childcare, etc.  Unfortunately the non-traditional student still must face frequent scenarios in which their schedule doesn't permit them to attend classes in the middle of the workday.  They don't have a few hours to hang out on campus and wait for their next class.  In the instance where they have questions for their professors, the night class might let out as late as 11 pm, in which case, that professor doesn't want to stick around longer than absolutely necessary, and when it comes to online classes, most students, traditional and non-traditional, can both attest to the difficulty it can be at times to get timely responses from their professors about questions.  Both are common scenarios that leave non-traditional students at a disadvantage, especially if they need to catch up on missed material. Fortunately, the LP Learning Center helps adults as well as children.

Over the years, we have assisted non-traditional students develop their foreign language skills, prepare for the GRE, review the core subjects, and more.  Our tutors are uncommonly flexible, mobile, and experienced.  If your schedule is hectic, we can tutor in home, at our center, or online so you don't have to worry about rushing to another location.  We are ideal for the non-traditional student, who is strapped for time and money but still needs to master their course material.  Don't be confined to emails or brief and rushed moments with your professor directly before or after class.  Until the educational institutions perfect their systems for non-traditional students, let us make up the difference for you.
