When difficulty arises with math or science the MSC is the place where Rio Hondo college students can receive help from our peer tutors, staff, and Instructors on duty. We are located on in two areas S-103 (1st floor Science Building) & S-300 (3rd floor Science Building). In the MSC we strive to guide students through their difficulties in math & science. Our goal is for students to become independent learners and no longer need a tutor. The MSC is free to registered Rio Hondo College students. We offer the following services:
- Walk-in tutoring
- Group tutoring
- Workshops
- Computers / online access
- Tutorial videos
- Study space
- Test Proctoring (offered only in S-300)
- Online Classes (Beginning Algebra – Intermediate Algebra)
The MSC asks that before you come in to meet with a tutor you have attempted to do your homework. Our tutors will assist/discuss a similar problem or a few homework problems with you, but they will not do your homework for you. Please do not ask to explain the entire chapter. It is a student’s responsibility to go to class, utilize their instructor’s office hours. We can only supplement your instructor’s lectures; a peer tutor is not an instructor. In addition to the tutoring services the MSC offers, the LAC (LR 114) offers appointment based tutoring and organized study groups by appointment.
Photo I.D. is required for all proctored exams. Exams are given no later than the time stated by the students instructor on the exam, please plan accordingly.
