Our Mission
We want you to learn the material well enough to pass your exams. This means that our tutors will work to make you more independent. They won’t check your work for you or do your work for you. They will support your efforts and offer suggestions for improving study skills and/or clarification of course content.

How to maximize your time with a tutor

• Bring your notes and text book.
• Try to attempt solving the problem to show the tutor your progress and where you have questions.
• Our Tutoring Model

For in-person tutoring
No appointments necessary; all tutoring is on a first-come, first served basis. Be prepared for your session with questions and work to show your tutor. You can sign up as often as needed, but each session is limited due to the volume of students we serve.

If you’d like to schedule an appointment in advance, please contact our front desk staff at 240-567-6614 or eclc@montgomerycollege.edu. Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time to check-in.
• Virtual (Zoom): "Zoom" or "online" appointments are ones where you speak directly to a tutor, and the tutor provides feedback in real-time. At the time of your appointment, connect with your tutor by clicking on the Zoom link in the Starfish appointment confirmation email sent to your 蘑菇视频 email account. Please have your assignment, assignment instructions, and any prior feedback from your professor available by your appointment time.

Follow the Written Feedback instructions in your Starfish appointment confirmation email on how to send your documents to your tutor. Your tutor must receive your documents by the start of your appointment in order to be able to provide feedback.
