Welcome to the Learning Commons' Individual Math Tutoring!
To make an appointment or ask questions, call 509-963-1270, or email us at learningcommons@cwu.edu.
Individual math tutoring provides a safe space for you to work on your math, and friendly tutors to assist you with questions.
Check in anytime, grab a sign from the Learning Commons front desk, sit comfortably at one of our whiteboard tables, and work on your own for as long as you like. If you have a question, a tutor is close by to offer support and help clarify concepts. You can also book a Zoom consultation and have a live video or audio conversation with a CWU math tutor.

Read Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
May I receive help for any math class?
The CWU Math Team supports all general education quantitative reasoning courses, all 100-level math and physics courses, and many other courses that have a mathematical basis. We staff tutors who have expertise in math, physics, and actuarial science. While we can't support all classes on a drop-in basis, we are able to help you connect with a tutor in a certain area. We can also facilitate study groups based on our tutors' content knowledge.
May I do my math homework in the Learning Commons?
Yes. Check in at the Learning Commons front desk, find a space, and work as long as you like. If you have a question, tutors are always close by and happy to help.
Can a tutor help me with a quiz or test?
As a general rule, no, as this is considered academic dishonesty. However, some professors do allow students to receive help on take-home quizzes. If this is the case, please ask your professor to communicate directly with us, so that we do not violate assignment expectations. Unless we have heard from your professor, we cannot help you with a quiz or test.
May I request a study group in the Math Center?
Yes, unless it's for a class that is already supported by PALs (please see the PALs schedule).
