Tutoring

At the SSTC, we’re here to support your learning journey with in-person tutoring! Whether you need help with different subjects or levels, we offer convenient drop-in assistance. Just walk in, and our friendly tutors will be ready to help you succeed, first come, first served!

At the SSTC, you can access group drop-in tutoring sessions for Statistics (Math 10), Chemistry, English, and Biology! Our group tutoring services are available from Monday through Thursday, 9am to 6pm, and on Friday from 9am to 2pm. There is no time limit for group sessions, so you can stay for as long as you need. Plus, you have the flexibility to attend the sessions in person or online via our virtual SSTC Zoom platform.

The Embedded Tutoring program focuses on using peer tutors to collaborate with faculty and students inside and outside the classroom. They provide more individualized attention and assistance during class activities and help facilitate tutoring sessions outside of the classroom.

Embedded tutoring sessions are open to all students in the course and are attended in SSTC on a voluntary basis FREE of charge. For you the student, it’s a chance to get together with people in your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and test yourselves before your professor does, so that when he/she does, you’ll be ready. At each session you will be guided through this material by your Embedded Tutor, a competent student who has previously taken the course.

Embedded Tutors are students themselves and are prepared to share with you what they have learned over the years about how to study. They know the course content and are anxious to help guide you through it. They’ll be in class with you every day, hearing what you hear and reading what you read. What they won’t do is lecture; their job is to help you think about the lectures you hear and the books you read, and then put it in perspective during ET review sessions so you can learn it more efficiently.

What should I bring to an ET session?

• Textbook
• Notes
• Questions

What is in it for me?

If you attend ET sessions regularly, chances are you’ll earn a better grade. You’ll have developed a better understanding of course content as well as more effective ways of studying. This will help you in other classes as well.
