Online Tutoring

Online tutoring with Southwest tutors is available through Slate. Please select your course, location, and then tutor from list.

Each session is a 45-minute appointment through Microsoft Teams with a Southwest tutor. You will receive a Teams invitation on the day of your appointment in your email, though the invitation may come sooner. If you have any issues, please contact an ASC location.

NetTutor

NetTutor is a free, online tutoring service that provides one-on-one virtual tutoring sessions with a tutor. You "drop in" when you need tutoring without an appointment, but appointments are also available. The Question Center is another helpful resource that allows you to post a question and receive an answer within 24 hours. Importantly, Southwest Tutors and NetTutors are not the same.

In order to receive online tutoring resources, students must complete the following steps.

Step 1: Sign into PAWS.

Step 2: On the right side of the page, under "Self-Registration Courses," select the blue "self-register" link and wait for the next Web page to load.

Step 4: You are now able to receive online tutoring resources.

Remember: If you want to continue working with a Southwest Tutor, you will need to make an appointment through Slate.
