The SSC offers FREE tutoring in select courses in two locations on campus! Our main tutoring location is in The Commons at Hodges Library. In addition, the SSC, partnering with University Housing, offers tutorial assistance in Hess Hall Conference Room (K101) .

The SSC Tutoring Center, located in the Commons at Hodges Library, is a free, walk-in tutoring service for currently registered UT undergraduates. Our focus is on first-year courses like biology, chemistry, foreign languages, mathematics, and psychology.  Students are advised to stop by the SSC Tutoring Center and register well before assignments are due.  Once registered, students may begin a tutoring session immediately or return at a more convenient time.  During Peak Times, walk-in students may have to wait before a tutor is available.  Students should be as specific as possible about how they hope to use the tutoring session and should bring all necessary materials to the session. 

All of our tutors complete rigorous and on-going training based on nationally-recognized standards.  Tutors will not correct students’ homework, projects, or take-home exams. They will provide useful comments and suggestions and serve as guides not as professors or editors. This method fosters independent learning.  Students have the right to make the final decision concerning their coursework.
