Tutorial/Learning Center
Free tutoring in most subjects is available to students.
The Tutorial/Learning Center is located in Room L214 on the
second floor at the west end of the library building. The Center is dedicated to
providing high quality academic support to students. The goal is for each
student to become an independent learner, who will succeed in the collegiate
setting. Tutors are carefully selected and professionally trained. Many are
bilingual to help with language barriers. They provide FREE individual and small
group tutoring in most subject areas. All City and ECC College students may sign
up for ongoing appointments, or come in on an as-needed, walk-in basis. Special
assistance is provided for vocational, DSPS,
CalWORKS and EOPS students. FREE
one-hour academic skill workshops are also offered which strengthen learning
skills such as note taking, test-taking, and memory and time management. The
current hours of operation are Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.,
Friday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
