Trained student tutors and faculty specialists work with students both individually and in small study groups. Student tutors are students who are proficient in the courses they tutor and are recommended by their instructors. Faculty specialists have credentials that are similar to those of our faculty, and many have experience teaching at MCCC or other colleges or universities. In general, faculty specialists have years of experience helping students succeed.
Students who utilize tutoring services at MCCC can expect to gain a better understanding of questions and/or concerns they have about their coursework, suggestions for improvement, study strategies, insight into instructor expectations and the understanding of how to link new material with what they already know.

Free Bus Shuttle
This Winter Semester 2025, which starts January 10, Monroe County Community College and Lake Erie Transit will again offer free bus shuttle service for income-eligible MCCC students who reside in the City of Monroe or Frenchtown Charter Township. The shuttle will transport students from their home to the College’s Main Campus at 1555 S. Raisinville Rd. in Monroe Township and back to home.
One-on-one tutoring is the most common type of tutoring. Students work individually with a tutor to discuss course-related questions, concerns or study strategies. Since tutoring sessions are customized to the specific needs of the individual, a student should come prepared with questions so the available time can be used efficiently.
Group tutoring occurs in one of two ways. Because many students find group sessions productive, two or more students in the same class can schedule back-to-back or concurrent appointments with a tutor. This can be done on a one-time basis or can be reoccurring. In addition, the Student Success Center sometimes schedules group tutoring sessions for a class. Information regarding these sessions are given during class and students are not required to make an appointment to attend.
On-line tutoring is available: Go to https://tutor.monroeccc.edu to make an appointment.
