Math Center

The Math Center is available to all students currently enrolled in any math class at Sierra College.  Students who come to the Math Center are offered free tutoring in Mathematics and the math contained in other subjects, such as Physics, Chemistry, Economics, etc.

To show proof of current enrollment in a math class and receive free tutoring in the Math Center, students will be asked to log-in (using their student number) when they come to the Math Center.  This helps us make sure that the resource is being used by Sierra College math students and helps us get funding for our program.  You must know your 9-digit student ID number and be enrolled in a math class to use the math center.

Students do not need to be failing a course to receive assistance; in fact, students very often seek tutor assistance to deepen their understanding or to further expand their information base.  The Math Center is a good place to do your homework.  Tutors circulate to make sure all students are being helped and you may even find a study partner or group!
