Who Can Use the MTC?

UNO Math students can come to the Math Tutor Center to study or work with a tutor.

What To Do When You Enter the MTC

1. Sign in at the desk and ask for the next available tutor

2. When your tutoring session is over, please fill out an evaluation form, available from your tutor, and leave it at the reception desk.

3. Tutors must work with many students and therefore tutees must be aware that a tutoring session's time is limited.

Procedures in the Learning Resource Center (LA334) are slightly different. Check in at the reception desk and the person there will direct you to the Math table.
