Tutorial Center
How do I sign up for free tutoring?
- Sign up for tutoring by LPC students by scanning the QR code below or using our Penji scheduling app. You will need your zonemail address to log in.
- Use our online drop-in, scheduled, or paper drop-off tutoring. Or just stop by room 2401 during our in-person drop-in times!
- Register for the Supervised Tutoring Course (NTUT 200, CRN 22801) on CLASSWeb; it is free, ungraded, non-credit, and not on your official transcript. You can register before or after the add deadline.
How does tutoring work?
The Tutoring Center employs Las Positas students, who have earned an A or B in their classes, to provide you with free academic support for a wide variety of subjects. We provide five main services.
- We offer unlimited online drop-in tutoring through our Penji scheduling app. Penji automatically sends the tutor's zoom or goboard link for online sessions. Online drop in times can be found here.
- We offer online and in-person scheduled appointments with our Penji scheduling app. Use Penji to book your first appointment today!
- Faculty Reading and Writing tutors can review papers uploaded with our Penji scheduling app. Papers can usually be reviewed and returned within 48 hours.
- We offer unlimited in-person drop-in tutoring. Stop by room 2401 during our normally scheduled hours.
- We also have quiet study rooms for you to use! These are first come first served.
Our hours are as follows.
- Tuesdays 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
- Wednesday 10:30 am - 6:00 pm
- Thursday 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
