Online Tutoring

Wimba Classroom is a virtual learning system which encourages dynamic interaction between students and tutors. Digital learning helps to remove the physical & geographical constraints to learning. We are using Wimba Classroom as the tool for you to communicate with a tutor online via audio, visual and text chat.

Online tutoring is available for Math, levels MAT 030 through MAT 156 and for English, levels ENG 030 through ENG 131. Tutoring in other subject matter may also be available. There may be targeted sessions throughout the semester as well.

 For questions regarding online tutoring call 339-6541 or email tutoringrequest@aims.edu.
