Remote Tutoring Services (SCC Tutors)

Students can get access to remote tutoring from SCC math tutors by following the instructions below:

  1. Sign in to your Maricopa Gmail account if you have not already done so.
  2. Self-enroll in the Canvas course "SC.Math_Tutoring".
  3. Once inside Canvas, select "SC.Math_Tutoring" and follow the instructions provided on the course Home page to connect with a tutor who is on duty.

This document has step-by-step instructions for self-enrolling and accessing the Canvas course.

 

  1. Sign in to your Maricopa Gmail account if you have not already done so.
  2. Log in to Canvas and go to the course "SC.Math_Tutoring".
  3. Open the appropriate Tutors Schedule and connect with a tutor who is on duty.

  • Have your questions ready before meeting with a tutor. A tutor will likely be working with several students and will be rotating between questions.
  • While you can speak with a tutor over the phone, your best experience will occur via the internet with a camera and a microphone using your cell phone, computer, or other device.
  • Tutors are not available 24/7. Using a bookmarked tutor’s Google Meet link does not guarantee that the tutor is available when you are trying to connect. Always check the Tutor Schedule shown in the Canvas course (SC.Math_Tutoring) and connect with the tutor from within the Canvas course.
  • If a tutor is busy when you visit their room, you may either wait in their room or check the Tutor Schedule shown in the Canvas (SC.Math_Tutoring) course to see if another tutor on duty is available.

If you need any help with accessing your Maricopa Gmail account and Canvas, please contact the SCC Help Desk at (480) 423-6274.
