To learn more about how to book a tutorial appointment with one of our Learning Centre staff tutors, please read the following information.
Booking Procedures:
- Drop by room 3024 (across from the library). Weekly schedules indicating subject areas and available times for each of our staff tutors are posted within The Learning Centre. Tutoring is available Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4:30 all year.
- Sign your name in a free time slot on the appropriate schedule. Be sure to also include the subject code (i.e. BUS 1100). If you do not know the code, please supply a subject title (i.e. Business Math). DO NOT book a tutorial session during any of your regularly scheduled class times.
*Please note that you may include your name in someone else's booked time if it is for the same subject. Certain subjects have a very high demand during particular times throughout the semester; therefore, group tutoring is sometimes necessary. If you require individual tutoring, please indicate as you sign up for your tutoring session.
- Book up to 2 hours per week per subject. We encourage students to book only one session at a time as they require tutorial assistance. If two hours a week is insufficient, it is possible to request more time with our tutors.
- On the reminder sheets attached to the booking board, write down the appointment date, time, and name of the tutor.
Cancellation Procedure:
- In order to facilitate tutoring access to students in need, we ask that if you are unable to make your appointment, please come into The Tutorial Centre and cross your name out in the appropriate time slot.
- You may also phone 566-8101, ext. 7262 or 7920 and let one of us know.

Peer tutors are interested students who have met the following conditions:
- They are full time Cambrian College students.
- They have passed the course with an A or a B.
- They have been recommended by a professor.
- They have maintained a reasonable G.P.A.
