Working with a Tutor

We provide tutoring for all SUNY Orange students. Each semester, you have the chance to work one-on-one or in groups, online or on campus, with our staff of tutors. Our tutors will work with you to continuously improve your learning strategies so you can keep honing your strengths. If you are looking for support but aren't sure where to start, please don't hesitate to reach out and talk with our staff.

What to Expect in Your Tutoring Sessions

When working with us, you can always expect our tutors will:

• Be knowledgeable of your SUNY Orange resources to assist in your success.
• Set goals and clear expectations for your sessions.
• Guide your study strategies based on your individual learning style.
• Equip you with the confidence and skills to independently accomplish the work on your own.

Being a Student Is a Commitment

As a courtesy to other students and tutors, we ask for 3 hours or more advanced notice if you must cancel a session. If you cancel (with less than 3 hours' notice) or miss 2 times, you will be required to have a meeting with a Center’s staff before you are able to schedule more sessions. Students may have up to 4 scheduled tutoring sessions per week, with unlimited drop-ins.  If you are looking for support but aren't sure where to start, don't hesitate to contact us!
