Frequently Asked Questions

How much is this tutoring service going to cost me?

Tutoring is absolutely free. You paid for this service when you paid your tuition and fees.


Do I have to be enrolled in TAMUCC to receive tutoring services from the TLC?

Usually you do not have to make an appointment, most of our tutoring is done on a walk-in basis. If you are going to see a writing tutor, TLC highly recommends that you make an appointment to avoid having to wait for these services. Writing tutoring is done in half hour sessions, and are usually one on one. Keep in mind that certain times of the semester are especially busy for our tutors, such midterms and finals weeks, and appointments should be made accordingly.


Am I required to sign in?

Yes, you must sign in to use any of the services offered by the TLC. We have sign-in computers located within the center and the labs and tutors may have sign-in sheets as well.


Can I receive tutoring for non-course based subjects, like THEA?

Absolutely. While normally tutors help students with specific coursework subjects, you can always see them for related material and let them help you strengthen your skills before taking the THEA.


Are tutoring services available on weekends?

Tutoring services are usually available on Sundays. The specific subjects and times may vary from semester to semester. Check our schedules for more information, or call the TLC office at 825-5933.

Can tutors help me with classes I'm taking at other colleges?

No. Even if you are an enrolled at TAMUCC, the tutors cannot help you with coursework from other colleges like Del Mar College. There would be no way for our center to keep up with the texts and material from other institutions.
