is college that much difficult require you to have a tutor?

It really depends on how well you know the material. I’m just now starting a new university soon, where I’ll actually be going to class versus online, so I can’t really help you on that.

When I was in community college a couple semesters ago, I was struggling in a programming class. The professor had about 40 students in the class. Fortunately for me, the Professor saw that I was struggling and helped me after class to see how I could understand more. Unfortunately for me, I know that going to a 4-yr university will be very different. Because the schools are so big and the professors teach more than 1 class a day, they have less time to actually spend with you if you’re having trouble in their class. That’s where tutoring jumps in. For example if you’re in a math class and you’re struggling, it would be better for you to go to that tutoring session at least once a week.

Same thing goes for an English class. If you have trouble writing, it’s in your best interest to go the writing center for the tutors in there to look at your paper and help guide you in the right direction.
