MWCC Academic Support Center • Tutoring
At the Academic Support Center, professional and peer tutors help students gain a better understanding of their course work. Some of our professional tutors also teach the subjects in which they tutor. Peer tutors have taken the course in which they are tutoring and were recommended by their professors. All tutors, peer and professional, participate in on-going professional development workshops.
Math
Our math tutors provide tutoring in mathematics from arithmetic to calculus and statistics, as well as assistance with the mathematics concepts in courses in the natural and social sciences and business. If you would like to know more about math tutoring, contact Bonnie Wicklund, Math Coordinator, (978) 630-9306.
Writing
Our writing tutors help students learn and apply the basic principles of effective composition and master revision and editing skills. They are trained not only to assist students who are writing papers for composition classes, they also help students working on papers for history, nursing, psychology, sociology, American Sign Language, and more. Call Joan Croteau, Writing Coordinator, at (978) 630-9307, if you have questions about tutoring in writing.
Other academic subjects
For help in almost all other academic subjects, we can match students with qualified tutors and also sponsor study groups. A student can sign up for tutoring any time during the semester: during the first week of classes or half-way through the semester. Our advice to students, however, is "don’t wait until the last minute to get help." The earlier students come to the center, the better able we are to assist them. Tutors meet with students by appointment at mutually convenient times. For more information about peer tutoring, call Lynn Bailey at (978) 630-9587.
