Tutoring services are FREE and are available to students, who have priority, and community members. Depending on what subject you need tutoring in, the way that area works may be different. Below is a description about how each area functions. Additionally, Zoom recordings of sessions can be available upon request by students.
Math Resource Center:
The Math Resource Center offers both drop-in and appointment tutoring sessions both in-person or via Zoom to all math and math related subjects. Appointments are 1-hour slots. On the other hand, for drop-ins, you can meet with a tutor for 15-minute slots or ask up to 5 questions, whichever happens first. Then, you are encouraged to work on your own and come back when you have more questions. This process continues until you understand the material or have completed your assignment. To do a drop-in, please stop by the Tutoring Front Desk to check-in.

The Writing Center offers appointments and drop-in tutoring sessions both in-person or via Zoom for all writing needs, not just writing courses.

Appointments are 1-hour slots and drops-in are in-person only with first come first serve. To do a drop-in, please stop by the Tutoring Front desk to check-in. Additionally, the Writing Center does NOT take drop-off essays since we value the learning experience that happens when a student meets with a tutor.

Due to our hours limitations, we encourage students to utilize Tutor.com after hours. Tutor.com is a free, 24/7 online tutoring service provided by NHCC with tutors who specialize in a wide variety of subject areas. All students are given 15 hours to use on Tutor.com per academic year; however, if you need more hours, you can contact Tom Lynch, the Director of Access Services and Tutoring, at 763-493-0556 or tom.lynch@nhcc.edu.
You can access Tutor.com through your course on D2L. It is located along the right side at the bottom. It will say “Tutor.com Online Learning.”
Before your session, you should identify what you need assistance with and know where the instructions for the assignment are located (on D2L or a paper copy). Additionally, view and bring supplemental materials (lecture notes, PowerPoint slides, etc.) related to the assignment and bring any necessary tools, such as a calculator for math related assignments.
Our tutoring staff consists of student tutors, faculty tutors, and full-time staff tutors.
If you are interested in becoming a tutor, you need to fulfill the following requirements:
- Complete your current academic year FAFSA
- Be taking at least 6+ credits for the semester you are applying for
- Have a recommendation from a faculty member
If you meet all these requirements, you can fill out the Peer Tutoring Work Study Application.
The Tutoring area has several tables and computers that students are free to use no matter if they are being tutored or not. Additionally, students working on math or writing assignments can use the tables and computers within the Math Resource Center and Writing Center to work on their assignments.
