eTutoring Services
Online tutors are available to help currently enrolled Yakima Valley College students with various subjects, including writing, physics, chemistry, world languages, biology, math, and many more.
There are three ways students can use eTutoring:
A synchronous tutoring session via Zoom. Students meet with the tutor on a first-come-first-served basis. After logging in, students can view tutor schedules by subject area.
An asynchronous option where students can post a question and a tutor will respond, generally within 24-48 hours. This works best for quick questions that do not require an extended conversation.
An asynchronous option where students can upload a draft of their paper, along with specific questions and concerns. A tutor will provide written feedback (a summary letter and comments embedded in the draft), usually within 24-48 hours.
Links to relevant resources are also provided. The Live Writing Lab is a separate service from the YVC Writing Center.
How To Access eTutoring
The easiest way to access eTutoring is to log in directly from Canvas. Just click on the eTutoring link on the left-hand side of your Canvas course shell.
Please contact Tutoring Services if you have questions or need login assistance.
