Tutoring
Our tutoring services are free for all students and incorporate a wide variety of subjects. Schedule an online or in-person tutoring appointment to improve your topic comprehension, preparation, analysis, test-taking skills and review. Whether you come for help on a specific assignment, prep for an exam or review in specific subject-matter, we are here for you.
We offer tutoring in a range of subjects, including math, chemistry, biology, physics, nursing, pharmacy, computer science, business, neuroscience, psychology, humanities, languages, communications, critical reading and study skills. We constantly strive to expand tutoring support.
Accomplishing everything you hope for academically is more than understanding the subject matter.

Any Regis University student, faculty, staff or alumni can work with The Learning Commons.
Appointments are required to take advantage of The Learning Commons' services. Click here to make an appointment online. If you cannot make your appointment, please cancel it at least 1 hour in advance through the online scheduler. If you are absent from three appointments without notifying The Learning Center, your account may be automatically disabled.
Please bring everything you can think of that will help you and your tutor/writing coach make the most of your session. This includes, and is not limited to, your assignment, rubric, syllabus, textbook(s), research literature, writing tools and, of course, your undivided attention and willing participation.
Because the Writing Center is not set up for walk-ins, students may not drop off their papers and return later to pick them up. Instead, please make an appointment to receive feedback in person or online.
The Writing Center can help with every stage of writing. If you feel stuck during the process, we will work with you to overcome those writer’s blocks by asking you guiding questions, exploring your ideas and helping you pen those thoughts down.
We have tutors with experience in foundational and intermediate level classes. Check tutor bios on our appointment scheduler to find a tutor who fits your needs. If you cannot find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact us.
While tutors can help with basics and more, it can be challenging for them to answer specific questions without preparation. To make sure you get the most out of your tutoring session, preparation beforehand is key. Have specific questions about assigned texts/problems, awareness of in-class instruction, and bringing necessary tools (books, notes, formulas, calculators, assignments, rubrics, etc.) is helpful for tutors in making sure your sessions are productive.
Use the appointment form to better equip your tutor for your session. Tutors do not have ready-made answers to quizzes, tests or exams.
