LRC is primarily a walk-in, drop-in tutoring center, so no appointment is necessary to meet with an available tutor. Students are seen on a first-come basis. When the Center is busy, tutors may work with up to three students at a time, rotating between tutees in approximately 20-minute intervals.
Tutors also hold exam review sessions and nursing workshops to provide support for larger groups.
Finding the Right Tutor
LRC tutors can help with a variety of subjects and course content. Different tutors specialize in different areas, and a tutor’s major does not necessarily reflect every subject they can support. For example, a Psychology major may also be able to assist with statistics, math, or other subjects based on courses they have completed and their areas of expertise.
You can visit our Meet the Tutors Page to view our tutoring team and their majors.
Not sure which tutor can help you? Our Student Assistant Team will do our best to connect you with someone who can support the subject or course content you need.
Need help finding when a tutor is available?
Contact one of our Student Assistants by phone, email, or through the LRC Zoom Room. They can help you identify an appropriate tutor and determine when they are available.

View Tutor Schedules & Courses Supported
During the Fall and Spring semesters, we provide a Google Doc listing our tutors, the courses and subjects they support, and their weekly schedules.
Please keep in mind that tutor availability may change throughout the semester. Our tutors are students too, and their schedules may occasionally need to shift to accommodate their coursework or other needs.
Before searching for a tutor, please read the first page of the schedule. It contains important information about LRC operating hours, which tutoring options are available each day, and how to use the schedule.
Limited Appointments
The LRC is primarily a drop-in tutoring center, but a limited number of appointments are available. Students may request up to two 30-minute tutoring appointments per course each week. If preferred, students may request one 60-minute appointment instead of two 30-minute appointments.
Same-day and next-day appointments are typically not available. Students are always encouraged to use drop-in tutoring services, which do not have a limit on the number of visits.
To request an individual or group appointment, visit the LRC front desk, email us, call the LRC, or join our Zoom Room to speak with a Student Assistant.

Students may also submit an appointment request through our online survey system when it is available. All requests are reviewed by a Student Assistant to confirm tutor availability and ensure an appropriate tutor match. In some cases, a Student Assistant may contact you for additional information before an appointment can be scheduled.
Please allow at least two full business days for appointment requests submitted through the survey system to be processed.
