ASTC Drop In Tutoring (In-person)

Begins Monday, February 2nd

Some things to consider:

With the drop-in format, students should expect that a tutor may be helping other students at the same time. If students have similar questions or are reviewing similar course concepts, the tutor may group students together
At times, the students may be expected to work individually while the tutor meets with other students. The tutor will check in periodically throughout the session, as time and the number of students attending allows
Tutors will assist students on a first-come/first-helped basis. During peak periods, students may need to wait for assistance. In addition, tutors may limit the length of time students can stay for drop-in in order to assist the maximum number of students possible
Locations are listed for each drop-in session
