How do I access services?

Tutors

Peer Tutors are current BCC students whose professors recommend them to tutor in a particular course or subject. They bring a valuable connection to the classroom and faculty to their work.

Community Tutors are local people from a variety of backgrounds and expertise. Some have prior classroom experience, and all can offer a practical application of many fields of study.
