Manor College Tutors

Professional and student tutors are available to all students free of charge seeking support in specific subject areas. Many of our professional tutors have extensive teaching experience and are highly regarded among students for their positive impact.

Can’t come to walk-in hours? Need an individual appointment? Need Vet Tech and Dental Hygiene Tutoring? Need editing, citations, or writing in any class? Email learningcenter@manor.edu.

A popular option around campus are the “walk-in” options. As the name suggests, no appointment is necessary to attend these sessions. Popular courses such as math, chemistry, writing, and many more have regular days and times each semester where students are able to stop by and ask a quick question or to get help on an assignment. Flyers are posted throughout campus advertising the days and times as well as location and are color-coded by subject.


Students seeking a private tutoring meeting at the time of your choice are able to make requests through learningcenter@manor.edu. Please provide the particular course number in your message and some available days/times and any other relevant information. Appointments can be held either in-person or virtually through an online platform. However, please be advised that all in-person tutoring sessions must occur at Manor’s campus and not off-site.


Located on the main floor of the library, students can come to the Writing Center to receive free tutoring on any writing assignment in any subject. We can help you with any stage of the writing process, including better understanding your assignment, brainstorming your ideas, workshopping your argument, and revising your draft.

In order to make the most out of your Writing Center appointment, students should bring a print-out of their assignment prompt and a printout of any writing they have already done.

The Writing Center will be open during the following hours:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday: 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday: Closed
Thursday: 11:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Friday: Virtual (10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.)

The Writing Center is also available for flexible and remote appointments. If you cannot make our posted hours, please email kmedio@manor.edu.
