Our Math Coaching appointments are designed for students who may need support with foundational math skills or a refresher. For advanced math classes not covered in our coaching, we assume students already have a strong grasp of the basics. If you don’t see your math or other class listed, consider scheduling an Academic Coach appointment. Academic Coaches can help you with study strategies, such as homework techniques, note-taking, test preparation, managing test anxiety, and improving information retention.

Face-to-face tutoring is the TLC’s relatively more traditional way for students to receive tutoring. The student visits the TLC, logs in with their student ID, then finds a place to sit at a table or computer. The student works on their own and when they have a question they gain the tutor’s attention.

One-on-one tutoring is for the student that needs a little more help. The student makes their own appointments.  The tutor helps with content questions as well as strategies for learning.

The TLC does not allow food in the computer labs. Drinks are allowed.

The TLC understands that parents may have various emergencies that result in them needing to bring their kids. As long as the child does not interrupt learning for the student or the rest of the lab, they are welcome for the visit. Better yet, Ozark Tech’s Library has a family study room where the student can log in to online tutoring while their child plays or hangs out.

Ozarks Tech has open computer labs available at each campus and center, for student, faculty, and staff use. In addition to standard expectations for open computer lab usage, the TLC, located at Ozarks Tech’s Springfield campus, offers up-to-date technology and tutoring services, fostering a supportive environment for students to improve their computer skills and receive academic guidance.
