The Polytechnic Tutoring Center, often referred to simply as the "PTC," is dedicated to giving you the personalized attention you need to help you achieve your academic goals at the School of Engineering.  We are located in 6 MetroTech Center, JAB 373.

 

Our general office hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm during the fall and spring semesters.  However, for specific course schedules please call us or come by the PTC for information.

We offer tutoring in computer science, physics, chemistry and biology for first- and second-year undergraduate courses. We also provide writing, reading and English language help in our Writing Center to undergraduate and graduate students at all levels. Learn about our services by watching our orientation video.

We are a College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) Level 1 certified program.

The best tutoring occurs when the tutor doesn’t necessarily know the answer. Rather, modeling how to find an answer (instead of just explaining how to do a problem) is one of the best long-term positive outcomes of tutoring.
