If you need help in any area for which no tutor is available, every effort is made to recruit a tutor in the needed subject.

Face-to-Face Tutoring

Face-to-face tutoring is provided by both peer and professional tutors.  This type of tutoring provides free individualized assistance across a number of subject areas. Peer tutors are faculty recommended, proficient in their subject matter and extensively trained in the art of learning, but still approachable, relatable and welcoming.

This option is for students who prefer to study more independently, at their own pace and on a flexible schedule, but who appreciate having tutors and resources available when they need extra help. We have drop-in tutors for many courses.  The tutors can help you identify your preferred learning style, develop more effective study habits and time management skills, and provide you with the academic tools for success.

This option is best for students preferring more one-on-one, comprehensive tutoring. Tutoring by appointment is available in most subjects offered at North Central State College.

If you have additional questions, please contact Dr. Toni Johnson at 419-755-9028 or tjohnson@ncstatecollege.edu.  You may also call the Tutoring Resource Center at 419-755-4812.
