Book an Appointment - Math Support
Students wanting to see a math tutor in Brockville, Cornwall, or Kingston must book an appointment through the booking site. Until SLC returns to normal operations, all appointments will take place online. Students will be asked to select, at the time of booking, whether they would like to receive a document of written feedback related to their work or to participate in a live Microsoft Teams appointment with a tutor. Given the nature of Math tutoring, a live Teams appointment is usually the best forum for your questions.
Guidelines
Appointments are 50 minutes in length, and students are permitted to book up to one hour per day and up to three hours per week of tutoring time. The Centre reserves the right to adjust these allowances in response to service use and the current level of demand, ensuring that the greatest number of students have the opportunity to access support.
This service is generally available from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm from Monday to Friday, though this schedule may be adjusted throughout the semester. Check the schedule provided on the bookings site to confirm current availability. Students should note that time slots often book quickly; it is wise to book in advance to avoid disappointment. Additional hours (such as those dedicated to SNAP events) are posted when available.
