FAQ

Our physical location in Building 34, Rooms 102-105 is currently closed. However, computer tutoring is available in LSS West in Building 22, Room 101 and Zoom.

When you visit in person, the first thing to do is sign in at the computer kiosk located directly inside the door. If you have come in to do some work, just pull up a chair and get to it! If you are here for an appointment, just let the office assistant at the front desk know.

Similarly, when you enter the Virtual Tutoring Center, you will be greeted by one of our staff members, who will ask what kind of help you need and then either schedule an appointment for later or place you in a breakout room with a tutor right away. It's that simple!

Appointments are recommended but not required. You are also always welcome to just come in and utilize our space to get your work done. If you visit us and a tutor is not already with another student, we will be happy to help you then. However, an appointment is the only way to guarantee an available tutor.

Note, too, that during busy times of the quarter—typically around midterms and before finals—our appointment schedule tends to fill up two to three days in advance. For that reason, we encourage you to schedule appointments ahead of time rather than try to schedule for the same day. As much as possible, come early and come often!

You can visit us on campus during our in-person hours, through Zoom during our virtual hours, or email us at learningsupport@spscc.edu. If you email, please include in your message:

  • your name
  • your SID number
  • the desired day and time
  • the class or project you are working on

Appointments may be scheduled weeks ahead of time, and you may also choose to have recurring weekly appointments. We love working with students more than once!

You can have up to six 25-minute appointments per week or the equivalent. Appointments are 25 minutes long by default, but you can request 50 minutes if you have a larger project.

Arrive a few minutes ahead of time and bring the following:

  • the assignment instructions
  • relevant class notes/materials
  • your questions

Nothing! All tutoring on campus is free.

Our tutors are a mix of current and former SPSCC students and qualified learning support technicians. 

eTutoring is a great option for you. Simply log in to eTutoring and either find the next available tutor in your subject under "Today's Tutor Schedule," or post your question to "eQuestions" and a tutor will write a response within the next day or two.

You can also access useful handouts, videos, and links at our LSS Resources webpage.

Finally, if you'd prefer to meet with an SPSCC tutor but are not available during our open hours, contact learningsupport@spscc.edu and we may be able to make alternate arrangements.
