TRiO students are able to
receive their own personal
tutoring at their own available
time.
The student meets with the
same tutor each time. He/she
has the ability to establish a
bond and receive more personal
and academic attention.
The environment is focused only
on TRiO students and has a
more one-to-one ratio. There’s
less students in the TRiO room
which aids the student to
concentrate more in their
studies.
University Learning Center
(ULC)
The ULC is opened to all
students enrolled at the Texas
A&M International University.
The student can get assistance
by attending the ULC and
waiting to see if a tutor is
available or might have to set an
appointment.
The environment is more
diverse; Different tutors are
eligible for each subject,
Supplemental Instruction
Sessions are given, and the
majority of the time, other

time, limiting one’s ability to
concentrate and fully learn.
