Tutoring Services
The Learning Center provides specific tutorial support for Mathematics courses 054 through 105, and English courses 092 through 111, in addition to writing across the curriculum support. Tutoring is available by appointment, and often on a walk-in basis. Please call for current peer tutor hours.
General Guidelines for Tutoring
Plan Ahead: Make an appointment in advance of an assignment due date. Do not wait until the last minute.
Clarify Expectations: If you have questions about the assignment or the instructor’s comments, ask your instructor to clarify before you work with a tutor.
Be Specific: What do you want to work on? “Everything” is not a valid response to this question. We cannot work on every aspect of an assignment in one sitting.
Arrive Prepared: We are not a substitute for attending class. Attempt the homework on your own before seeking tutorial assistance.
Make Homework a Habit: Many subjects take practice, repetition, and patience. Set realistic goals and expectations for yourself.
Notes about English Tutoring: We will not accept drop-offs - revision is a process for which you should be present. Sessions are limited to 30 minutes per day.
Notes about Mathematics Tutoring: You will often have to share a tutor with other students. Please do not interrupt another student’s session, not even for a “quick” question. Students who need help with math courses should:
- Read the chapter and review course notes before seeking help.
- Attempt to complete the homework on their own.
- Arrive with specific questions about the homework.
