Why Tutoring?

Attending tutoring means you are investing time inside and outside the tutoring session in understanding the subject and implementing the critical thinking and problem-solving technique taught to you by the tutor.

How Does It Work?

Rocky's Resources tutoring is FREE and conveniently offered in person on the Macomb campus at the Malpass Library (2nd floor) Monday through Thursday. If you are a QC student, please contact Curtis Williams cm-williams11@wiu.edu for any tutoring questions. On Sundays only, online tutoring will occur via the video conferencing platform Zoom (no appointment needed)- See the Tutoring URL below to connect with a greeter. Make an appointment for a guaranteed tutor or show up in person at the library to meet a tutor in person. TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A GUARANTEED TUTOR CLICK HERE
