Math Lab Policies
Welcome to LAVC Math Lab Online Tutoring!
Tutoring sessions are offered on a walk-in basis. No appointment is needed.
The central goal of the Math Lab is to provide individualized and collaborative tutorial support for students at Los Angeles Valley College.
- Student will be placed into a private room with a tutor.
- Tutor will engage one student at a time, participating in one session at a time.
- During the tutoring session:
- Student may seek any kind of help (e.g. assistance with homework/assignments, review concepts from questions missed on quizzes/exams, ask the tutor for study skill strategy).
- Tutor may ask student to use their notes to inhence understanding.
- Tutor guides students to understand the process rather than to give them ready answer.
- If the student is struggling, tutor may offer to work through a similar but different problem.
- Sessions use audio and video upon student’s request.
- Sessions have 15 - 20 min. limit if there is a student in a waiting line.
- Foster a welcome environment for students to study and learn
- Provide individual (one-on-one room) and group peer-tutoring (online meeting room)
- Encourage students to ask questions and engage in the learning process
- Help students not only to solve problems but also understand the process of solving it
- Advise students on how to study for math courses, and provide tips on their own pathway to succeed in multiple math courses
Note: Availability of tutors are subject to change.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the tutoring session, the tutor may ask you to complete a very 1-minute short evaluation of the session at the end of the session.
