Tutoring Center Services
Vernon College offers free academic assistance through an online tutoring service called NetTutor, as well as face-to-face tutoring in most subjects. The Tutoring Centers located at the Vernon Campus, Century City Center, and Skills Training Center can help students access NetTutor and will assist students with logging into NetTutor. In addition, the NetTutor link is on most Canvas courses. The Tutoring Centers offer free in-house, online essay tutoring for students writing essays for English classes or other Vernon College classes. Free math tutoring is also available in the Open Math Labs for all students enrolled in Vernon College math courses. Instructors will publish lab dates and times.
