Math Tutoring

The Learning Center (TLC) offers students individual assistance for math classes. Math tutors are present during all operating hours at both the Canyon Country and Valencia Campuses.

Tutors are able to help students through every aspect of their College of the Canyons math classes from homework to understanding concepts and processes.

Tutoring is provided on a first- come, first-served basis, and there are no appointments necessary. You may come to the TLC to ask math tutors for help on as few or as many of your homework problems as you want and stay as long as you want (close us down if you would like).

Although tutors are required to move from one student to another in order to meet the needs of the many COC math students who come to the TLC for math help, each student will be helped throughout the student’s entire stay. Students may return as often as they like.

We are an excellent and productive between class stop. We have textbooks and solutions manuals available for many of the classes and are available in limited supply for use by any COC math student while in the TLC.

Statistics tutoring is available at both campuses during all open hours.
