High School Tutoring

What We Offer

Tutoring provides free in-person and online academic support to the IVCC community with the goals of improving students’ confidence and academic skills. Course-specific tutors are available to help with a variety of coursework. We can help with algebra, geometry, biology, chemistry, Spanish, and more. Writing tutors are available to help with every stage of the writing process. 

What to Expect

For on-campus tutoring, come to the Tutoring in the Academic Support Center (A-201) on the Oglesby campus. Students may come solo or be joined by a parent or guardian. Students will meet with a tutor either one-on-one or in a small group. Tutoring does not provide study materials, so be sure to bring any materials you need for your course.

Tutoring Philosophy

In IVCC's Tutoring, we know that students struggle. Many students experience difficulties with course concepts, anxiety, and loneliness. They don’t know they can ask for help. They don’t feel comfortable asking for help. They don’t know help is available. The good news is that Tutoring is here to listen to and guide students to finding the help they need with studying, asking questions, and making connections. Students feel supported, seen, and heard, and they find their own success.

By providing a welcoming space, Tutoring develops independent learners who improve their academic skills and confidence because everyone deserves an accessible and free environment to study and learn.
