The tutoring centers at Truman will open for the Spring 2021 semester on Tuesday, January 19th!
Hello Everyone!
Truman College is offering online tutoring! We know that this has been a challenging time, and we are so happy you are here with us!
Here’s how it works:
The “Virtual Tutoring Centers” work a lot like they
did when we were on campus. Each Center has its own Zoom meeting. Click on the Zoom meeting link for the
Center you need, and the meeting host will set you up. The
host will ask you for the following information:
- Your name
- Your CCC student ID number
- The course you are in
- Your question
The host will pair you up with a tutor and put you in a
separate virtual meeting room, so you can work with your tutor privately. The
host will also help resolve any technical issues!
If we
have any technical problems and have to temporarily shut down one of the
Virtual Tutoring Centers, we will put a notice on this website as soon as we can! If you have any trouble, come back to this page just in case we had to shut down a center or change the link.
Each center offers services tailored to the needs of the students they serve. Some centers rely more on appointments, and some rely more on walk-in services. If you are not sure what to do, the best thing is to join the Zoom meeting, and the host will help you figure out what is best.
If you have any questions, the best way to contact us is by emailing TRASC@ccc.edu.

Writing and Reading Center
All the services you are used to from the Advancement Center, Reading Center, and Writing Center, are now in one convenient place!
The Virtual Writing and Reading Center serves Credit, Adult Ed GED, and ESL students, as well as any student seeking prep for the CCC Read to Write Placement Exam.
We mostly see students from English and ESL classes, but don't forget that we can serve students from history, education, and even science classes! Any class in which you read and write.
We also help with cover letters, personal statements, and resumes!
Additionally, the Virtual Writing and Reading Center provides tutoring for French credit courses.
It is best for students to have an appointment, but walk-ins are also welcome! Please have your ID number and any instructions for the assignment. It's also helpful if you have any electronic resources ready, such as an e-textbook, a Word document, a Powerpoint, a PDF, or a website. The Reading Center has obtained digital copies of many of the most common Communications textbooks to use during tutoring sessions.
For Spring 2021, we will be open for 1-on-1 appointments during the following hours:
- Monday: 10am to 7pm
- Tuesday: 10am to 7pm
- Wednesday: 10am to 9pm
- Thursday: 10am to 7pm
- Friday: 10am to 4pm
- Saturday: 10am to 4pm
Appointments are highly recommended, but we are happy to help walk-in students when tutors are free. Appointments are not required for Conversation Groups or most workshops.
