Math and science tutoring information

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers both staff and student tutors to support all math and science courses. No appointment is required; simply sign in at the front desk and a tutor will be available to assist you. While one-on-one sessions cannot be guaranteed, all tutoring is conducted using a structured group-study approach, which encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and active learning. 

We also provide useful tools for your math and science work, including calculators, rulers, protractors, graph paper, notecards, and even candy because yes, candy can be a study tool!

Drop-Off Editing versus ARC Tutoring: What’s the Difference? 

Drop-Off Paper/Resume Editing 

  • Proofreading for up to three typed pages (approximately 30 minutes) 
  • Basic grammar and syntax check* 
  • Brief review of APA citations (if applicable) and formatting 
  • Edited copy with notes emailed to the student’s State Tech email only 
  • For resumes: formatting and grammar check* 

*If a paper or resume has multiple issues, the tutor may stop the proofreading process and email the student to request an in-person tutoring session. 

Tip: Students should run their document through the spelling and grammar check in their word processor before submitting. 

ARC Tutoring Session 

  • One-on-one assistance for up to one hour 
  • Focus on paper, resume, or course-related issues 
  • Session length depends on complexity; tutor may assist other students after an hour but will check back if the original student remains signed in. 

Please Note: All paper edits and students are assisted in the order they are received.
