HOW TO GET ONLINE TUTORING
You can get online tutors several ways.
- Zoom Tutoring, the newest and quickest way to reach North Seattle tutors. It uses the Zoom online conferencing program. First you log into the tutoring center at slc.northseattle.edu. Then you get to Zoom tutoring by logging into Canvas (https://canvas.northseattle.edu/courses/1935008) and then clicking on “Courses.” From there you click on the link titled “Student Learning Center – Online Tutoring and Learning Support for Students.” On that page you’ll find technical suggestions. There are also links to the tutoring center you want. Once you get the right center, click “Enter the tutoring room” and wait for the host to start the meeting and let you in. You’ll be placed in an online “breakout room,” where the next available tutor will join you and start the session (If you need to wait for a tutor, someone will tell you).
- Submit a piece of writing online. Tutors will review it and return it with comments and suggestions, generally within 48 hours. This quarter you can begin submitting your work online on April 10, starting at 10:00 a.m. Check it out at
