How to get a tutor, step by step

for Math 3-141 Look at the schedules for drop-in hours first. The schedules for drop-in hours are available early in each semester—check back for updates, because schedules can change. Make sure you hit “reload” to get the most current schedule. You should use drop-in hours if at all possible. This can save time by avoiding problems with phone tag, conflicts in schedules, and so forth. The schedules are at prosch.html (for professional tutors).
If you can use drop-in hours, just drop in. If you want to see one of the tutors during his or her drop-in hours, you do not need an appointment. Simply stop by the tutor’s office during the scheduled drop-in hours. Of course, you will have to wait for your turn if other students are there.
If you can’t use drop-in hours, check the list of courses for which we have tutoring. We have peer tutors available by appointment for SU09 math courses. Please follow the instructions at crslist.html to request a peer tutor.

  • Discuss problems with your professor.
  • Organize a study group.
  • Consult a study skills tutor. Request one by using the form at crslist.html
  • Review the study skills links at the LRC home page: urls.htm
  • Consider tutorial software. Does your textbook have a CD or website? These can be very helpful.
