The Tutoring Center

Service Update:

The Tutoring Center provides both in-person and online drop-in and appointment tutoring to all students enrolled at South Seattle College.  

*TUTORS ARE AVAILABLE IN-PERSON AND ONLINE*

Keep in mind that we will be capping the limit to two appointments per day for each student; in other words, students will not be able to schedule more than two 30-minute appointments back-to-back with tutors on any given day.
