The Westwood Online Tutoring program has been designed to help connect you with your peers and professional tutors to learn more about your courses and their content. You can receive student tutoring assistance in several ways.
Live Online Assistance
We use Breeze Live to connect tutors and students during designated times for all programs. When you log in to your classes, you will see a tutoring course listed for your program. Please consult the schedule of PDF: Live Tutoring Sessions for your program.
Threaded Discussions
You can post questions in the threaded discussions of your tutoring course. Tutors will respond to you within 48 hours. Please enter the tutoring course to learn more about the threaded discussions.
One-on-One Tutoring Sessions
If you would like more personal attention, we can assign you a tutor. You will work with the tutor to determine the best methods and times to communicate and then move forward with your tutoring sessions. Please complete the "request tutoring" form to utilize this option.
