Instructional Support Services Program/Tutoring

Online Tutoring

The Lehman Tutoring Center (LTC) and the Science Learning Center (SLC) offer the following:

  • online tutoring in writing, select humanities and social sciences courses as well as academic coaching through our virtual Lehman Tutoring Center.
  • online tutoring through our online service NetTutor through Lehman 360.

LTC Online Writing Tutoring

The online writing tutoring program enables Lehman students to request feedback on their writing from any computer terminal with Internet connectivity. Students meet live with a tutor on the Blackboard Collaborate platform.

Example of LTC Online Email Writing Tutoring Feedback

Students who cannot meet live with a tutor can submit their work for feedback from a writing tutor, ask questions, and communicate with a tutor via e-mail. Because online tutoring, like face-to-face tutoring, requires input from both parties, when students submit work through email, they must also provide background information about the assignment and identify their main concern(s) so that the tutor can tailor his or her response. Students must have a valid Lehman e-mail account to access the online tutoring services.
