Our Tutoring service is a "drop-in"; there is no need to make appointments. The daily tutoring hours (7:30 AM – 2:30 PM) at the Center are fixed, and tutoring will be available according to the Tutoring Schedules at any given time during those hours, and access to tutors will be first-come first-served. All peer tutors are committed to promoting independent, active learning among the students they assist.
