Tutoring

The Learning Commons provides free appointment and drop-in tutoring with trained peers to help you succeed in your courses.

Sessions will be hosted in-person or online. You can make an individual appointment through Starfish or check out our drop-in schedule at the bottom of the page. Please see our step-by-step instructions for how to make or cancel a tutoring appointment.

All tutoring will be held weeks 2-14 during the fall and spring semesters. No tutoring will be available during summer or J-term. During fall 2023, sessions will be held from Tuesday, September 12, to Friday, December 8. Sessions will not be held during Fall break (October 20-23) and Thanksgiving break (November 21-26).
