What is tutoring?
When a student has a question or is stuck on a problem, a tutor can help guide the student through the reasoning and resources to find the solution.

What do I bring to tutoring?
To get the most out of tutoring, bring a good attitude because you'll only get out of it what you put into it. In addition to a readiness to work and learn, students should also bring assignments, textbooks, notes and other course resources.

What types of tutoring are available?
Faculty tutors in the Math and Writing Centers provide support for all math and English classes. The Writing Center can also provide assistance for writing and research in any class. And the live tutors at Upswing provide help in all academic disciplines. Whatever class you're in, we've got you covered!

Who are the tutors and what are their qualifications?
