Individual Tutors | Allegany College of Maryland

Individual tutoring is available for many courses that are not supported by walk-in study labs. Students are encouraged to apply for an individual tutor early in the semester and to meet with the tutor on a regular basis. Tutors are assigned based on qualifications and availability. If a qualified tutor is not available, students will be placed on a waiting list. Please note that due to the limited availability of qualified tutors, ACM cannot guarantee that a tutor will be assigned.

If you are interested in seeking an individual tutor, complete and submit the online application.

Most individual tutors are current students at Allegany College of Maryland or recent graduates. They provide the following assistance to students enrolled in credited courses at ACM:

Review of course material
Study skills
Note-taking
Exam preparation
Building confidence with academic ability

Once a student has submitted his/her application, every effort will be made to locate a qualified tutor. When a qualified tutor has been located, students will receive a tutor assignment notification at their ACM college email address. Students should contact the tutor within 48 hours at the listed ACM college email address to schedule their first tutoring session.
