Are you interested in becoming a peer tutor?
Tutoring is a fun, rewarding and flexible part time opportunity to help fellow students and improve your content knowledge. It also looks great on transfer applications! If you are interested, please review the minimum qualifications and fill out the application by clicking the button below. You can then email your completed application to astc@solano.edu, or you can drop it off in person at the ASTC in the library, on the Fairfield Campus in room 114.
Academic Success and Tutoring Center services are available to students by self-registering at the following Canvas link: https://solano.instructure.com/enroll/EKEA7Y
To be able to connect with the tutors in Canvas, students need to enroll to the ASTC Canvas shell. This is a free service for all SCC students, and it can be added at any time during the semester. It will never appear on transcripts and will not affect financial aid. To enroll, simply click on the following link: https://solano.instructure.com/enroll/EKEA7Y . This will open up Canvas, and you will need to click on the “Enroll in this Course” button.
