Did you know there are TUTORING SERVICES available to our students free of charge?

These tutoring services are in addition to the Math Lab, Writing Center, and Computer Lab! Upon request, the student is assigned to group tutoring or online tutoring, when available. If group or online tutoring is not available, the student will be given a list for private tutors. Private tutoring services are not free and must be paid for by the student. Students must submit a completed tutor request form in order to receive detailed information about the available tutoring services. The form is available on this website and in the following campus offices:

Central Park Campus in room A-108

Preston Ridge Campus in room F-109

Spring Creek Campus in room G-121
