Content tutors are here to help

The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides tutors for many lower-level courses throughout the curriculum. Tutors work one-on-one or with small groups depending on the subject to help students understand course content, complete assignments and prepare for tests and exams. Most tutors are experienced students who successfully completed the course with a 3.0 or higher, meaning they bring knowledge about the subject and the YCP course to their sessions with students.

Tutors for many introductory science, math, nursing, social science business, and humanities classes are available by appointment through Spartan Success Network. Go to the Course Tutoring service to view available tutoring appointments. The entire tutoring schedule is able to be viewed on the Static Schedule. 

There are also weekly drop-in review sessions for select courses. Drop-in Review Session times are listed on the Static Schedule and viewable on Spartan Success Network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing! Tutoring is included as part of your tuition.

There are no restrictions on drop-in tutoring. Come as often as you need! For math tutoring which is by appointment, students are restricted to two hours per day with math tutors.

While most tutoring occurs in the Academic Success Center Room 01 on the lower level of the Humanities Center, some tutors are available in alternate locations based on particular disciplines. For example, nursing tutoring often takes place in Diehl Hall, and Engineering and Computer Science tutoring often takes place in the Kinsley Engineering Center.

Some tutors are also available to meet via Zoom. See the location listed next to your tutor on the tutor schedule for their specific locations. 

Because of high demand, we recommend scheduling appointments with tutors on the Spartan Success Network under the Course Tutoring service. Drop-in sessions are available for many subjects if tutors have openings, but we highly encourage students to make an appointment. Tutors’ whose schedule is highlighted in yellow on the Static Schedule are only available by appointment. View these video directions for help scheduling an appointment.

Bring any materials related to the class and/or specific assignment you are working on, including textbooks, notes, and materials provided by the professor.

If you are unavailable during the current tutoring times for your course or don’t see a tutor listed for your course, reach out to asc@ycp.edu and the Academic Success staff will work with you to try to coordinate an alternative solution so you can get the help you need.
