Academic Support Center: Peer Tutoring

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A MATH TUTORING APPOINTMENT:

1. Make an appointment using the purple Schedule Appointment box above. Be sure to choose Math Tutoring from the drop-down menu. This will give you the availability for our Math Tutors only and allow you to correctly make an appointment. 
2. After making an appointment, you will receive a confirmation email. On the day/time of your appointment, go to the Academic Support Center (lower level of the Pilgrim Library) to meet with your math tutor. 

The Academic Support Center (ASC) provides free individual tutoring sessions. Our tutors, who have been recommended by faculty members, have successfully completed a course prior to tutoring, have a strong understanding of the content material, and have a desire to help others succeed. Tutoring is available in all the disciplines and in most courses offered across campus; however, because we utilize peer tutors and some courses are offered alternate years, we cannot always guarantee we can find you a tutor.

MATH TUTORS are on duty at various times during the day and evening in the ASC (Lower level of the Pilgrim Library). These math tutors can help you with Quantitative Reasoning, College Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. Simply make an appointment and use the Google Meet link in the confirmation email to go online to meet with your Math Tutor. 

To assist our students, we also subscribe to an online tutoring platform called Smarthinking.  You can access the link to Smarthinking through Defiance College's learning management system Moodle. You will find the Smarthinking link available in your Moodle courses.  

To learn more about any of the tutoring options contact Lacey Strickler, Academic Support Center Director, at lstrickler@defiance.edu or 419-783-2495.

To request a subject tutor, simply complete the online Tutor Request Form available on this webpage or complete a paper form (available outside of the Writing Studio or outside Lacey Strickler's office, library 123 - the form is on lime green paper).  Once a tutor has been secured for you, the tutor will reach out to you to identify the best days/times for meeting and provide you with a Google Meet link for your online subject/course tutoring.
