The QCC tutoring centers provide a welcoming and supportive environment with free tutoring for currently
enrolled QCC students. The goal of the centers is to help students improve their course content knowledge and
study skills by providing tutoring as a supplement to classroom and online learning. A variety of resources are
available in each center. The Math Center is where students taking a range of math and related courses can get
assistance with their homework and develop their understanding of math with tutors, and participate in group
study with their peers. All tutoring is free and is provided on a drop in basis.
