The Math Center offers walk-in tutoring for students enrolled in KVCC mathematics courses. Assistance is avaiable from full-time staff, certified tutors and instructors.

Many students use the Math Center as a place to study and are able to ask questions as they progress. The Math Center operates as a supplement to the classroom and should not be used as a replacement for in-class instruction.

It is not possible to have tutors for all classes at all times. Please contact us or check our bulletin board for individual tutor schedules.
