Option 2: A student can sign up for tutoring using our partner site, Tutor.com by visiting our website. 

Step 1: Go to https://kingsboroughcc.okta.com

Step 2: Enter your Username and Password (the same log-in credentials as your Kingsborough College email).

Step 4: Click on “Schedule an Appointment.”

Step 5: In the schedule an appointment box:

Almost all KCC courses are available for tutoring via the KLC or Tutor.com.

You can schedule up to four content sessions per week and two writing sessions per week. You also have 8 hours per month available to use on Tutor.com.

Students are encouraged to sign up on TracCloud using the directions posted. Sessions are available on a first-come first-served basis, and students are able to sign up for a one-time or weekly appointment based on their needs.

Walk‑in tutoring is available for Math courses, and the schedule is posted in L‑219. Although we do not have official walk‑in hours for Writing and Science courses, students may try to be seen as a walk‑in if a tutor is available. Walk‑in tutoring is based on availability and may not include a full hour; therefore, we strongly recommend making an appointment in advance.

Yes, the KLC offers both in-person and online tutoring each semester to meet your needs.

If a student is absent 2 consecutive times or 3 random times, the student will be dropped from tutoring. It is in the student’s best interest to email [email protected] or call the front desk and provide a valid reason for their absence in advance. 

Our tutors are required to have a 3.5 GPA or higher, and have received an A in the course they are tutoring in. The tutors also come highly recommended by a faculty member and go through a rigorous hiring and training process. For certain courses, the tutor will be a professor or faculty member.
