Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much is tutoring?

Tutoring is a free service to all current WKCTC students.

Do I need an appointment?

When possible an appointment ensures that you will have tutor access with the tutor you want to work with. By no means do you have to have an appointment.

Can I get my tutor's phone number or email address?

We won't give you tutor phone numbers or email addresses, but we can make an appointment for you.

Can I come more than once? Do I have to come more than once?

We would like to tutor you over multiple sessions because learning takes time.

Will the tutor be nice to me?

We will respect you and will ask that you respect us.

How loud is the tutoring center?

We ask that all cell phone calls are taken outside. We ask that non-tutoring conversation be kept to a minimum volume.

Can I eat lunch while I am tutored?

Eating and tutoring don't mix well. Please consider what kinds of food you bring with you. Snack foods are allowable. Full meals are frowned upon.

What do I need to bring to tutoring?

You can help us by bringing your assignment materials (book, noted, prompts, etc.) with you.

What should I do before I get to tutoring?

You will learn more if you work on the material before you come. How do you know you need help if you don't try?

Can the tutor give me some idea of what I will make on the assignment?

We don't grade you, and we can't explain your grade. You should talk to your professor about those kinds of issues.

How long can I be tutored? And what if I don't finish the assignment?

We will generally work with you for about an hour, and you may not be able to complete your entire assignment under our supervision. However, you can always come back the next day.

What if all the tutors are busy?

At times we can tutor more than one student at a time, so don't assume if all our tutors are with someone that you can't be tutored.
