Math Tutoring Policies

You must be enrolled in a Math course at GCC to receive Math tutoring. 

Since we cannot always accommodate same day appointments, please try to make your appointments several days in advance.  All appointments are 30 minutes; however, if the tutor does not have any other appointments and there is no one else waiting for a Math tutor, then the tutor may continue working with you for a limited period of time.

Before working with a math tutor, you should have tried to do your homework on your own. Tutors will discuss problems similar to the ones with which you are having trouble, but they cannot help you with all of your homework problems. For example, if your teacher has assigned odd numbered problems, a tutor will discuss even numbered problems, so that you learn how to apply those concepts to your homework.

Please do not ask tutors to explain entire chapters to you. It is your responsibility as a student to go to class and attend your teacher’s office hours. Math videotapes are available if you need to review a chapter.

Be aware that appointments are 30 minutes in length, so you should be prepared to ask specific questions, realizing that tutors will not be able to address all of the various concerns you might have.

If you have any questions, please ask one of the Learning Center staff members.
