For additional information, you may also call the General Tutoring Lab at 818.947.2744.

Appointment-Based Tutoring

Individual tutoring appointments are available to students seeking assistance in subjects for which tutoring is not generally available in the campus labs. Although we cannot guarantee a tutor for every subject requested, we strive to meet the needs of as many students as possible. During the first visit to General Tutoring, students must complete a nominal amount of paperwork and add a noncredit tutoring section to their semester schedules. Appointments are available in select disciplines each semester, usually including but not limited to:

• Environmental Science
• French
• Italian
• Philosophy
• Political Science
• Spanish

For specific information, contact the Tutoring Office in person or by phone at (818) 947-2744. Due to budget constraints, individual tutoring appointments are very limited; additionally, you must schedule at least the first appointment in person, after completing our standard paperwork.

General Policies

• No music or cell phones
• No children
• No food or drink
• Proof of current enrollment is required at all times
