One-on-One Subject Tutoring Services

Working One-on-One with Professional & Peer Tutors

Subject tutors can help define and explain concepts, clarify examples from course content, and guide students toward understanding a particular topic. They cannot answer specific questions related to any homework, quiz, exam, or major project. These questions should be directed to the instructor, who is the course’s primary contact.

UMGC's one-on-one tutors are all available through Tutor.com and fall into one of the following categories:

Professional tutors are experts in the subjects that they support and can provide examples and explanations beyond the course content. They are available for on-demand and scheduled sessions.

Peer tutors are knowledgeable about the subjects that they support and can draw from their own learning experience in a course to assist you. They are available only for scheduled sessions for a select group of courses.

UMGC offered tutoring. I would sign up for the tutoring in the evenings and on the weekends, and for additional help and it helped tremendously. I ended up graduating with straight A's.
