Student Success Commons: Math

Math tutoring covers any MAT course (MAT 118, MAT 126, etc.). We also offer support for any student using Microsoft Excel to perform calculations, regardless of their class. 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..

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. For more information about how math tutoring is made available, see the FAQ "What is drop-in tutoring?"

Drop-in (or walk-in) tutoring 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. Whether you can only stay for 10 minutes, or 4 hours, drop-in tutoring is here to fit your schedule.

Drop-in tutoring is not the same as a study group or a workshop. Students are welcome to work alongside friends and classmates but it is not required. Even though tutoring is offered in the open space of the SSC, your tutor will always give you personalized attention and support.

Your tutor will not lead the session as if teaching a class. You and a tutor will work on whatever concepts you need support with—we're here to help you at your level, whatever that is! Drop-in tutoring is student-based so be sure to come with questions.

Tutoring is available online! We offer open Zoom rooms (see the tutoring schedule for the link and times), as well as tutoring via email and/or video.

We want to offer support to as many students as possible. If you're looking for remote math support outside of the drop-in hours please email Karissa Cole to discuss options. (Please allow up to 24 hours for a reply between 7:00am and 5:00pm Monday-Thursday.)

If you send your question(s) via email, a tutor may respond with a written explanation or by sending a relevant video. We make custom tutoring videos aimed to emulate a tutoring session making them 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.

Any student currently enrolled in a MAT class or class involving dosage calculations at YCCC qualifies for free tutoring at the Student Success Commons.

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.
