For tutors' subjects and hours visit the SSS Tutors page. Call 619-260-4264 or email sss@sandiego.edu for more information. 

Tutors are also available at specific hours for “drop-in” tutoring. Check the tutoring schedule for the hours that they are available and the subject they tutor in.

During the scheduled times, tutors are available in the SSS office, University Center 113 (UC 113).

If you set up an appointment you and the tutor can decide where to meet; either in UC 113or anywhere on campus.

If you are unable to make your appointment, contact your tutor. Please give as much notice as possible.

If you fail to notify SSS that you will be missing the appointment, a “no show report” will be filed.

When you come into the SSS office, be sure to sign in on the tutoring form at the front desk.

At the end of each tutoring session, you and the tutor will fill out a form that will help us keep track of your hours.

As many as you need, there is no limit.

Be sure to remember anything you may need for the class, including any and all textbooks, class notes, class handouts, homework, and any returned tests or quizzes. The more information you have, the more the tutors will be able to help.

On the first day that you meet with the tutor, you will both fill out a tutor/student contract that will serve as your agreement to show up on time and prepared to each meeting and to stay focused during the meeting. It also requires the student to agree to attend all scheduled classes.
