Tutoring Services

Overview

Tutoring Services provides free, comprehensive, and peer-led support for the academic subjects offered at Cal Maritime, including multiple laboratory courses.

Tutoring helps cadets develop competency, confidence, and self-efficacy through interactive discussions with knowledgeable, trained peer tutors.

Presently, cadets may receive academic support for courses in the following subject areas:

Virtual Tutoring Appointments

In Spring 2020, Tutoring Services transitioned to entirely online appointments to ensure safe social distancing amid the then-emerging COVID-19 pandemic. Services will remain fully virtual during Fall 2020.

In lieu of drop-in center hours, cadets may schedule one-hour individual and group Zoom sessions via The Passport (most subjects supported up to seven days per week).
