Tutoring

How Tutoring Works

Tutors will ask guiding questions and talk with you about your thought process. Tutors aren't there simply to give answers, they want to teach students skills they can apply beyond their current assignments. Tutors will help on a concept or question, then move around the room to help other folks. Often, tutors will encourage students to explain concepts to each other to help solidify concepts. Most hours have 4 or more tutors working on a variety of subjects. 

Usage Policy

All registered Humboldt students enrolled in courses can use tutoring. Humboldt students who are not currently enrolled in a particular course but wish to strengthen their skills in a particular area can also get assistance. Students, including student staff, are expected to act respectfully and comply with the Student Code of Conduct. If you encounter an issue or problem in the Learning Center, please contact the director, Su Karl, su@humboldt.edu and/or the Tutoring Coordinator, Michele Miyamoto, michele.miyamoto@humboldt.edu. 

Note: If you experience accessibility-related barriers with viewing the tutoring schedules, or booking through TutorTrac's appointment scheduling feature, please come in person, call 707-826-5217, or email learning@humboldt.edu 

Need tutoring beyond what the Learning Center offers? Need tutoring over the weekend? Cal Poly Humboldt has partnered with Net Tutor to offer tutoring outside of the Learning Center hours. Please visit our NetTutor page for more information on available subjects and how to access NetTutor
