The CDM Tutoring Center provides services to support the academic success of undergraduate students and graduate students in introductory courses of their program in CDM. Free tutoring services are available during the fall, winter and spring quarters for undergraduate students and graduate students through foundation courses of their program. Sessions are one hour in length and may be individual or in a small group session if there are other students from the same class.

Students are expected to:

  • Go to class, listen attentively, take notes and ask questions to clarify misunderstandings.
  • Review notes, practice problems and read textbooks.
  • Attempt problems on your own. If help is needed, contact the Tutoring Center. An appointment with a specific tutor can be scheduled through MyCDM.

Tutoring sessions are available online. Before scheduling an online appointment with a tutor, please make sure you have everything you need to make the technology work. This includes a working webcam, microphone, speakers or headset, and an up-to-date web browser. A zoom link is generated and emailed when you book an online appointment with a tutor.
