Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a tutor?
Please click here for “Tutor Requests.”  Where you will find a form to fill out. Once you submit the form an appropriate tutor will be found for you. This process usually takes 2-3 working days, although it may take longer depending on the amount of time it takes your professor and the potential tutors to respond. When a tutor has been found you will be alerted by e-mail and given the tutor’s e-mail address so that you may contact that person to set up a tutoring schedule.
 
How can a tutor help me?  Tutors provide a wide range of services.  They can explain difficult concepts or listen and provide feedback as you explain your understanding of such concepts from class or readings.  They can serve as a study-partner in reviewing material from class. They may also share their own effective strategies for note-making, studying, writing essays, and preparing for class.
