What happens in a tutoring session?

When a tutor is available, you will automatically be brought into a tutorial room. A cowbell will ring. This lets you know that the session has begun. Your tutor will help you work the problem out and give you hints if you get stuck. Please come prepared to learn.

What if I don’t have time to chat with an online tutor?

The Q&A Center allows you to ask a question offline, which a tutor will usually answer within 24 hours. When an answer has been prepared, you will receive an email notifying you that your question is ready. After you review the answer, you can ask a follow-up question.
