LSC Tutoring

The Basics

Individual and small group tutoring is available online or in person by appointment. 

Your tutor will help you better understand concepts, readings, and other materials, and help you make plans to complete assignments from your courses. We are here to help you learn how to be successful for the long term! 
Actively enrolled SDSU EOPOS students, students referred by Student Disability Services (SDS), or students enrolled in the learning communities of our campus’ Community Centers can make a tutoring appointment. 

You may choose to meet with your tutor online via Zoom or in-person. 

Virtual appointments: You will get the Zoom link via email when you make your appointment.

In-person appointments: In the EOP, Outreach and Success office, Student Services East (SSE 2109). 

 

All online and in-person tutoring sessions are 1 hour.

Bring any materials you and your tutor might need to look at together in order to achieve your goals. These might include: 

  • Syllabi for courses you want to discuss
  • Assignments, including study guides and instructions for papers
  • Books, articles, or other texts you are reading
  • Special equipment (e.g., graphing calculator or software)
  • Graded assignments with your professors’ feedback on them

We are dedicated to ensuring that all students feel safe and supported. In the LSC, our individuality is strength, and our experiences matter. We love that our students come from a beautiful diverse range of ages, races, ethnicities, national, citizenship status, religions, abilities, veteran status, sexes, gender identities, sexual orientations, and much more. 


When interacting with others, we ask that you always help others feel valued and safe. There are many ways to do this. For example, you can learn the correctly pronounced, preferred names of others and greet them by name; or, if you disagree with a fellow student in the LSC, you can ensure you are spending equal time listening and speaking in your conversation with them.  


Behavior that makes others feel excluded or “that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person within or related to the University community” (SDSU Standards for Student Conduct) will not be tolerated. Students engaging in such conduct will be asked to speak with the LSC Coordinator, and their access to tutoring and the LSC and its activities might be restricted.

Making Appointments

In-person tutoring is available Mon-Fri from 9am-4pm.

Online tutoring is available Mon-Sun from 8am-8pm. 

The specific times appointments are available vary depending on the subject. View subject-specific appointment availability at this link

Individual tutoring sessions are available by appointment only at this time; however, our workshops are open to all EOPOS students. Check Instagram or Presence for workshop offerings this semester.

You are also welcome to study by yourself or with a small group in the LSC - no appointment necessary.

There are three ways you can make an appointment: 

Email us at [email protected]
Call us at (619) 594-2240
Visit us in person in EOPOS, SSE 2109.

To cancel during EOPOS business hours, call or email the LSC.

For weekend or after-hours appointments, email your tutor directly to cancel. 

To honor all students' and tutors' time, we ask that you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. 

If you miss an appointment, that is considered a no-show; if you have to cancel less than 24 hours before the session is scheduled to begin, that is considered a late cancellation. 

If you have more than 2 late cancellations and/or no shows, a member of the LSC team will check in with you to ensure all is well before you can continue making appointments. 

Academic Workshops

We offer free academic workshops on a variety of topics, including essay writing, time management, study skills, finals preparation, financial literacy, and more. Many of our workshops offer snacks and/or food to help our students feel sustained and combat any food insecurities they may have. This also helps us to build community within EOPOS.

Our workshops are open to all students who participate in the following programs: EOPOS, SDS, and Community Center learning communities.

For our current workshop schedule, check Instagram and Presence. No appointment or RSVP is necessary to attend LSC workshops. 

Other Student Spaces

Computer Lab: The LSC computer lab is available for students to use these computers to join Zoom meetings or otherwise complete school-related tasks. We offer free printing in black and white up to 10 pages. 

The Cove: The EOPOS Cove is available for students to rest between classes, have a snack, make a cup of coffee or tea, microwave/air fry food, play games and more.

If you are a student with a disability and believe you will need accommodations for tutoring appointments, it is your responsibility to contact Student Disability Services (SDS) at (619) 594-6473. To avoid any delay in the receipt of your accommodations, you should contact SDS as soon as possible. Please note that tutors cannot provide accommodations based on disability until they have received an accommodation letter from the Student Ability Success Center. Your cooperation is appreciated!

To protect the privacy of your student records, tutors do not discuss with faculty or staff which students participate in our programs without the expressed consent of the student. 

We really appreciate when you choose to tell people--your friends, classmates, professors, SDSU staff, or anyone else--about your experiences in The LSC, though!

Currently-enrolled students are welcome to come into the LSC at any time to ask questions and look at the facilities. If you are not a currently-enrolled SDSU student and would like to inquire about booking a tour, please contact the LSC Coordinator, Ari Daniali, at [email protected].
Many of the LSC tutors are multilingual. Tutors and students can communicate in any shared language they choose.

The LSC currently provides tutoring in 30+ courses, including English, math, writing, sciences, and more. View the tutoring availability for a full list.
