Tutor-Led Workshops

POP-IN Tutoring
POP-IN Tutoring is an alternative to the traditional SI Tutor who is always embedded in a class. Highly trained English Center tutors are available to be embedded in your classroom for specific dates and times as requested. Tutors can assist with a variety of activities including workshops, group work, paper feedback, and more.
Services are based on tutor availability. Submitted requests need to be placed a minimum of 48 business hours prior to the requested date and time. Please include the class CRN number along with the Course Name to expedite processing.
Pop-In Tutoring is a three step process:
1) Fill out the POP-IN Tutoring request as specifically as possible, attaching
all necessary information, prompts, handouts, and directions.
2) Receive confirmation from the English Center (schedule an optional meeting with
a tutor if desired).
3) Tutor(s) arrive at your class and function as needed.
Hold Office Hours in the EC
Instructors across the curriculum are welcome to hold office hours in the main room of the English Center or in a Breakout room in the English Center via Zoom! Please keep in mind that this is not a space reservation.
