You can work with a Learning Enhancement Center tutor in several ways.
Individual Appointments
Students are currently allowed a total of one hour of schedule appointments per week per subject, either as one 1-hour session or two half-hour sessions, whichever works best for you. Students who keep their scheduled appointments during the week may make another appointment for up to 1 hour per subject for that week, for a maximum of two hours per subject per week.
Group Appointments
Two or more students may meet with a tutor as a group. Students are allowed one session per week per subject, either as one l-hour session or two half-hour sessions.
Drop-In Tutoring
Drop-in tutoring is available in the Academic Skills Center (EF 1), the Biology Center (NU 146), the Math/CSC Center (Building 7), the Math Foundations Center (MS 113), the Physical Sciences Center (PS 100), the PIRC Lab Center (Building 42), the Red Mountain Center (Desert Willow Building), the Biology Center - Red Mountain (S 154), and the Math Foundations Center - Red Mountain (Desert Willow Building).
This form of tutoring provides students with the flexibility they may require. No appointment is necessary. Students come in and meet with tutors on a first-come basis. Tutors work with students individually or in small groups. Students may come in during drop-in hours for tutoring in addition to their scheduled appointment times.
How to Make the Most of Tutoring Services
Come to see a tutor when
- You need help in completing homework questions or problems
- You want assistance in understanding concepts or discussing ideas
- You want to know more about study strategies and preparing for tests
- You believe you are beginning to fall behind and want some help
Prepare for a tutoring session by bringing
- Textbooks
- Class notes
- Past quizzes or tests that your instructor has authorized you to have
- Course syllabus
- Homework or workbook problems (indicate what you have been able to complete yourself since tutors cannot go over every problem in every assignment)
Remember that tutors cannot
- Do homework or assignments for students
- Make up for missed classes or assignments or for missing prerequisite courses
- Help with tests (including take-home or make-up tests) for students
- Provide line-by-line correcting, editing, proofreading, or translating for students

- Cover a semester's worth of work in the few days prior to final examinations or tests
