Does the College offer tutoring?

Yes! Academic supports at Algonquin College are offered through the Student Learning Centre (or SLC, for short).

Peer Tutoring

For one-on-one support tailored to specific courses, you can access Peer Tutoring (available both in-person and virtually). Peer tutors are upper-level students with a high GPA who can assist you in understanding course material, including assignments, at a small fee ($8 per hour).

To access Peer Tutoring, log in to the Peer Tutoring Booking System with your AC student email to search for tutors and book an appointment. 

If there is no tutor available for your program, please fill out the Tutor Request Form and they will look for one.

Please note that financial assistance may be available. If finances are preventing you from accessing tutoring services, please reach out to the SLC Kiosk at slc@algonquincollege.com to learn more about the financial support options available at the College.
