STEM+ Tutoring

Tutors in math, science, computer science, and business courses can help you understand the concepts and practice the skills you need to succeed in your courses. In-person tutorials, Zoom sessions, drop-off question support, and drop-in tutoring help you solve tough problems and become more confident learners.

Zoom Sessions

What is it?: Zoom sessions use audio, video and interactive multimedia to allow the tutor and student to discuss the assignment live.

How does it work?: Zoom sessions are collaborative. Students can use screen-sharing to share their materials, work on concepts, and solve problems in real time. Tutors provide guidance, questions, modeling, and resources to help students learn.

How do I get a Zoom tutorial?: Log in to WCOnline and select Schedule 02 Computer Sci/Business/Math/Sciences. Input your information, select an available tutorial, and complete the appointment form. Optionally, attach your assignment and assignment instructions or materials.

What technology do I need to use a Zoom tutorial?: Zoom sessions require a device with a stable internet connection, a working microphone, and optionally, a working camera.

What should I bring to my tutorial?: Have your questions or assignment, assignment instructions, and any readings, lecture notes & slides or other resources you’re using available when you begin your session on Zoom.

Drop-off Questions

What is it?: Rather than meeting with a tutor, for drop-off question tutoring support, you submit the work you’ve done along with your question.

A tutor will spend up to 15 minutes crafting a response, which will be emailed back to you as a file attachment within 24 hours of your submission (pending normal working hours and schedule).

When should I use drop-off question tutoring support?: This format is best for when you been working on something, but keep getting stuck, need a nudge in the right direction, or can't seem to get past an error code. The tutor needs to see your work to help you progress!

How do I use it?: Use this online form to submit the work you’ve done along with your question.

What are some examples of questions I could ask?

Math: I am working through this problem, but keep getting the wrong answer! Where am I going wrong? I’ll upload a picture of my work so far.
Chemistry: I am working on the POST LAB for Lab 4, and I'm not sure if I have calculated the Thiocyanate concentration correctly. Can you take a look at my calculations and see if I am on the right track?
Computer Science: I receive a runtime error on my code and can’t figure out what the problem is. I’ve attached my code and assignment here.
Business: My Excel sheet isn’t working right, I’m trying to follow the assignment instructions but the output is mixed up. Where am I going wrong? My assignment and Excel file are attached.
