During fall, spring, and summer semesters, students can receive assistance from tutors and writing consultants in our open drop-in hours - the quickest and most popular way to receive support. 

During the fall, spring, and summer semesters, MiraCosta students can schedule tutoring appointments for each enrolled course. Appointments are scheduled for 25 minutes with availability based on tutor availability. 

Supplemental Instruction(SI) is a free service offered to all students in a targeted course. Typically, SI sessions are scheduled weekly for two 50-minute group sessions. SI Leaders prepare activities ahead of time to help support student needs.

Tutors or coaches facilitate study groups such as exam preps or open labs to help students get the help they need outside of the classroom.

Students can attend workshops -- such as Views sessions, Spark, TEAS prep -- which are facilitated by a Tutor, SI Leader, Writing Consultant, or Learning Coach.
