Make an Appointment With a Tutor

Tutoring is free and can be in person or online. All appointments are either 30 minutes or 1 hour. You may only use up to one hour of tutoring each day. You may schedule two separate 30-minute appointments. You may attend drop-in tutoring, supplemental instruction (SI) sessions and workshops as often as you like.

Note: You must be currently enrolled at TMCC in the class for which you are receiving tutoring.

Make an Appointment

The Tutoring and Learning Center utilizes the Accudemia Scheduling System, which allows students to work with subject tutors or general writing tutors in person or online for real-time tutoring appointments.

Students looking for tutoring support for a paper are also able to request a Writing Dropbox appointment. These appointments allow students to get feedback on their writing via asynchronous written comments. Students upload their paper(s) for tutors to read and provide feedback on (students do not attend appointments ). 

To make an appointment, please log in to TMCC's Tutoring and Learning Center Scheduler and sign in using your TMCC username and password.

How to Make a Writing Appointment

All TMCC students are welcome to schedule appointments for any assistance they might need with writing papers, (not just for English).

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

  • Have access to your book, assignment, notebook, and all relevant materials.
  • Start your assignment on your own. The tutor needs to assess your understanding to effectively help you learn.
  • Be ready to participate in the session and get the most out of your time with the tutor!
  • Remember that tutors are not teachers. The pace of the tutoring session is dependent on your understanding.
  • It is expected that you participate in your tutoring session; the progress of the session is mutually dependent on the student and the tutor.
  • The tutor will work with you at a pace that is best for your learning.

How to Schedule a Subject Specific Appointment

The Tutoring and Learning Center is here to help all students excel in their education. Although we might not have a tutor available in all subjects, our staff is trained and knowledgeable to help you succeed. We offer one-on-one tutoring appointments in a number of specific courses including math, chemistry, biology and more. Please check out this video on how to schedule your Subject Specific Tutoring appointment.
