Tutoring
The CLE offers online tutoring for a wide variety of subjects and limited in-person tutoring by appointment. These services are free of charge.

When STC tutors are not available, tutoring services are offered through our off campus partner, Upswing. Students are limited to three (3) hours per semester when working with Upswing tutors; however, there is no limit with STC tutors. To find an STC tutor, look for the STC Tutor label on the tutor’s profile picture.
