For each visit (in-person or online), please fill in a sign-in sheet. Make sure to bring your class notes, book, or other class materials that can help the tutors help you!
MCLA's Math Drop-in Center is a place for students with any questions related to mathematics. Among our tutors, we have the ability to assist with the mathematics portions of problems from any course in any department on campus, as well as the ability to help students studying for the mathematics portions of exams like the MTEL, GRE, and TEAS. Some of our tutors are also able to help with science courses and computer science courses. The Center is free for the MCLA community to use, and all MCLA students, faculty, and staff are welcome to drop in—no appointment necessary!
For any questions about the Math Drop-in Center, please email Dr. Erin Kiley at emkiley@mcla.edu .

Include this Blurb in your Syllabus
The Math Help Drop-In Center is open in-person as well as virtually on Microsoft Teams! To get in-person help with any math question from any course, please visit the Feigenbaum Center for Science & Innovation, Room 101 during our open hours (which are always up-to-date on mcla.edu/mathcenter ). To get online help, follow the sign-in link at our website, then fill in the sign-in sheet and follow the instructions that arrive in your e-mail inbox. Our tutors are friendly, supportive, and ready to help!
Have a Tutor visit your Class!
Having a tutor visit your class is a quick, easy way to let your students know about the services we offer, where they can see a friendly face that might encourage them to visit. To organize a visit with a peer tutor in your course, please email Erin Kiley at emkiley@mcla.edu .
Use Pre-Tests in your Class
Ungraded pre-tests can often help students decide early whether they will need help with the mathematics that an upcoming course topic entails, and such evaluations can often be given in five minutes, or as take-home assignments. For templates on particular topics, please email Erin Kiley at emkiley@mcla.edu .
