Distance Tutoring
If a tutor cannot
be found for your class at your campus or you are taking classes online, we may
be able to connect you with a tutor using Distance Tutoring.
Distance Tutoring
allows Fox Valley Technical College to reach students in two locations in such
a realistic way that it feels as if the tutor and tutee are in the same room.
In each room, to facilitate instruction, is a computer, a phone line, and a
Bamboo Splash Tablet (for math), and a connection through freescreensharing to share what is being performed on the
tutor and tutee’s computer.
Fox Valley
Technical College has available to students:
- Four Distance Tutoring stations, one at
each of the Outreach sites (Waupaca, Clintonville, Chilton and Wautoma).
- Two Distance Tutoring stations on the
Appleton Campus (located in the TLC and ESS) and one on the Oshkosh Campus
(located in the TLC).
- Scheduling a tutoring session via Distance
Tutoring is easy. Simply click on Distance
Tutor Request and complete the email request form from
the menu on the right. You will hear from us within 2 business days
of submitting your request.
