English, Humanities, Social Science, and Language Tutoring

  • We provide free individual tutoring in English, ESL, History, Psychology, Language classes, and more..
  • English/Writing tutors are available to help students with writing assignments in any class they are currently enrolled in at COC.
  • During select hours, you can also receive concept-specific tutoring for French, Spanish, German, ASL, History, Sociology, Psychology, Paralegal, Political Science, and Philosophy.
  • Other types of writing, such as personal letters, dissertations, assignments for other high schools or colleges, or resumes and college applications, ARE NOT* handled in The Learning Center. *For assistance with non-class-related writing, such as resumes or dissertations, please contact the Career Center. For assistance with personal letters/applications, please contact the Transfer Resource.

    What Can I Expect?

  • Students can expect individual help with writing problems, grammar, mechanics, and organization, as well as brainstorming and assistance with any stage of the writing process across disciplines.
  • Students can also receive assistance with formatting and citing references in MLA, AMA, Chicago, ASA, and APA, reading strategies, and help with online research and general study skills.
  • Tutoring sessions are 30 minutes or less, and students may return after revision for a second tutoring session.
  • Tutors are generally COC (or former COC) students who have excelled in a particular subject and have been recommended by faculty. These tutors have also undergone extensive training, and several of them hold bachelor's or master's degrees in the subjects they teach.
