We provide academic tutoring to help students get a solid grasp on course material

Tutoring is intended to help students increase their understanding of course material, and improve their learning and study skills. Tutoring is available for most developmental and introductory courses as well as some upper-level courses. It is provided in individual or small group settings by qualified community or peer tutors.

Many content tutors have taken your class, and can help you with specific questions regarding concepts, projects, and help you study for exams.

Tutoring is intended as a supplement to classroom instruction, and is not a substitute replacement for regular attendance and participation in your classes.
