Is there a charge for using the MTC?
No, the services provided by the MTC are free for WSU students.
Do I need to set an appointment?
No, the MTC operates on a first come first serve basis. If
there is a particular tutor that you would like to work with, special
arrangements may be made with that individual tutor.
Is there a limit to the number of times I can use
the services of the MTC?
No, you are welcome to visit the MTC as frequently as you wish, but do not
attempt to use the MTC as a substitute for regular class attendance.
Tutoring is meant as a supplement which helps develop both skill and
independence.
Can the MTC help me prepare for the Proficiency
or Placement Exams?
The MTC can assist you in reviewing what you have studied fairly
recently. If you have been away from the material for more than a
year, a review course may be recommended. MTC tutors cannot teach
you new material. Click here to

I need additional help. Are there any tutors
available for private tutoring sessions?
The MTC and the Department of Mathematics maintains a list of people
who are willing to conduct private tutoring sessions. These tutors
are paid directly by the tutee and set their own hourly rates.
Is the MTC open to everyone?
The MTC is open to all Wayne State University students,
regardless of rank or major. Those who are not students of WSU
should inquire about private tutoring (see above).
If I have a suggestion or a complaint, whom should I
see?
Your comments and suggestions help us to improve our services and we
strongly encourage feedback. A suggestion box is located in the MTC
or you may send your messages to the Director, Sheila Sparbeck, at sheila@math.wayne.edu
