Tutoring

Get free help with your classes.

We're here to help.

Gen ed classes can be tough. They have a bigger class size, making it hard to get your questions answered and go along with the pace. And some classes just might not be your thing.

Your Tutoring Experience

  • Get a personalized experience with small-group learning.

    Tutoring groups have just six students - sometimes less. This allows you to get the individualized attention you need without getting lost in a large gen ed class.

  • Work with certified tutors.

    Tutors are students who earned high marks in class. They're trained to help you work through your academic struggles.

  • Go to class with confidence.

    You’ll study but you’ll walk away with much more than that. We teach you skills and strategies that make you a better student in every class.

Available Tutoring Sessions

Tutoring sessions depend on student demand and tutor availability. Sessions are mostly for 100-level, general education courses. Here’s what’s typically offered each semester.

Tutoring starts the second week of classes. It ends two weeks before finals.
