Importance of Tutoring in the Era of AB 705 and AB 1705

In recent years, California passed AB 705 and AB 1705, two laws that dramatically changed how colleges place students into math and English courses. The goal of these laws was to reduce barriers to completion by allowing more students to enroll directly in transfer-level courses, bypassing traditional remedial classes.

While these changes were meant to help students graduate faster, they also created new challenges. Many students are now expected to tackle advanced coursework without the foundational skills and preparation they would have received in prerequisite classes. As a result, some find themselves overwhelmed, confused, and at risk of falling behind.

This is where high-quality tutoring bridges the gap. Tutoring provides the personalized support and targeted practice that many students need to succeed in transfer-level courses. Whether you are:

• A high school graduate entering college-level math for the first time,

• An adult returning to education,

• Or a continuing student navigating higher expectations,

I am here to help you build the skills and confidence to thrive.

With more students placed directly into challenging courses, one-on-one tutoring has never been more important. It ensures that no student is left without the tools to succeed and that everyone has a chance to meet their goals.
