Not on campus but still need math support? A Zoom room will be open Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00am-2:00pm--feel free to drop in just as if you were on campus! For additional remote support throughout the week you can also email kcole@mainecc.edu with any questions! Screenshots are welcome. Please allow up to 48 hours for a reply between Monday 9:00am and Friday 12:00pm. |
We primarily offer drop-in (or walk-in) tutoring. This allows students to work with a tutor without needing to set up an appointment. Each semester we announce our drop-in hours of availability and welcome students to drop in as their schedule allows.
Tutoring is 100% free to all YCCC students! No signups, no vouchers, no nothing. It's completely free.
Since tutoring is open to all math students, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted one-on-one tutoring for any length of time. If there are multiple students seeking support at the same time, the tutor(s) will split their time equally between all students. You may work with the other students if you wish, but it is not required.
Nope! Tutoring and support is available on campus, remotely with live weekly open Zoom sessions, as well as through email and/or video.
Live remote tutoring is usually held via Zoom. The tutor may ask you to share your screen or send over a photo of the question you'd like to work on. Your tutor will then share their screen so the two of you can look at the problem together. A virtual whiteboard and on-screen calculator will be used so you can see clearly in realtime how to work through the question. If there are multiple students in the Zoom room, you have the option to be put into a breakout room if you want a little more privacy—just ask your tutor!
Students do not need to sign up for math tutoring. Simply let us know you'd like support by stopping in to the SSC or by emailing us.
Students are not usually assigned tutors. Whichever tutor is available during the drop-in hours will be sure to work with you!
That's up to you! Whether you need 5 minutes or 5 hours, we're here for you. There is no time limit for students attending drop-in math tutoring during our hours of availability.
If you send your question(s) via email, a tutor may respond with a written explanation or by sending a relevant video. Our tutoring videos aim to emulate a tutoring session and are a valuable resource for students with busy schedules. You can get your questions answered, see the steps, follow along, and rewatch the video any time you need. Be sure to check out our YouTube channel to see some of the tutoring videos we have uploaded. If you don't see the video you're looking for just email your questions and ask for the video you need.
We can:
It's important that your math grade reflects your personal effort and abilities, which means the Student Success Commons tutors are here to help you, but in a way that ensures your work is your own. Please remember that assistance for homework assignments and studying is allowed, and you are welcome to work with a partner on these things while at the SSC. However, students are not permitted to receive help from tutors, classmates, friends, family, or AI during any quizzes or tests unless otherwise explicitly indicated by your instructor.
In addition, it is the student's responsibility to read the syllabus, stay on top of upcoming assignments and announcements, read their ebook, utilize any videos and notes provided, and take the initiative to seek tutoring and support options whenever needed.
We have pages dedicated to statistics, quantitative reasoning, trigonometry, dosage calculations, and more. On each page you'll find resources tailored specifically to the subject at hand such as printable notes, examples, and custom SSC videos. We also have general math success tips, extensive info on units and conversions, and a math success program designed to help you master the basics of algebra! More resources are being added every semester.
Any student currently enrolled in a MAT class or class involving dosage calculations at YCCC qualifies for free tutoring at the Student Success Commons.
Certainly! You're welcome to have a drink or snack, or even bring lunch with you to tutoring. We just ask that you help keep our space clean and tidy.
Math tutoring covers any MAT course (MAT 118, MAT 126, etc.). Tutoring for dosage calculations is also available with Karissa Cole. Classes coded as ACC, BUS, and FIN are not covered under Student Success Commons math tutoring. If you need support with any of these classes please reach out to your advisor and student success coach.
No: regular tutoring is reserved for students currently taking math or a class requiring math. However, if you're planning to take a math class and want to be prepared you are welcome to reach out and a tutor will provide suggestions and resources to help you get started. We also reccomend you connect with your student success coach to inquire about other resources that may benefit you.
