Our tutors are dedicated to helping students to help themselves in achieving academics success. At Skagit Valley College, we offer an array of services including one-on-one tutoring for TRIO students, and Drop-In, Writing, English as a Second Language, and Online tutoring for all SVC students.

One-on-one tutoring offers students the opportunity to meet regularly with a tutor over the course of a quarter. Available through the TRiO program, one-on-one tutoring is open to all eligible students.

Campus-wide tutoring offers students a variety of tutoring options, both on and off campus. Tutoring is available, free of charge, to all students currently enrolled in classes at SVC. To learn more about what tutoring options are available, view the below information:

Drop-In Tutoring

Tutors are available to assist students who need extra help with Math, Science, Office & Business Technology, & Allied Health Education. You can drop by any time during scheduled hours. The drop-in tutors wear name tags and circulate around the room to help students as needed. Let the tutor know you would like some assistance. Drop-in tutoring schedules and information on current subjects being tutored are available in Lewis Hall 203 on the Mount Vernon Campus and Hayes Hall 107 on the Whidbey Island Campus (Mon – Fri, 10 am – 5 pm).
