Tutoring
There are a few reasons why you may not be able to find a tutor for your class:
- All of the appointments for your class are full. When an appointment is filled, it does not show up when you search for that class. Keep checking back as there may be cancellations. You can also check the Drop-in Calendar for non-reservable options.
- We currently do not have a tutor available to help with that class. Review our current list of courses supported to find out if we are supporting your course. If your course isn't listed, you can complete the Help Form to request help. When we receive multiple requests for an unsupported course, we will work to identify a tutor. In the meantime, working with a Peer Academic Coach may be helpful.
