  2. Live by appointment: New for UMSummer 2020! Schedule a time to meet that works for you! Email us at TutorM@umontana.edu, let us know what class you need help with, and we’ll assign you a tutor who will work with you on a time that works for you.
    Help by appointment is also available through the Learning Center at Missoula College.
  3. “Dear Math Tutor”: You can email your questions and get a response within 24 hours.

Schedule a time to meet that works for you!

Send us an email us at TutorM@umontana.edu,

*The Fine Print:

  • Tutors have the option and encouragement to work with “By-Appointment” students in the same class as a group as schedules allow (no more than 3 students in one group).
  • Every effort will be made to meet your needs and preferences. Class and content needs are primary: If a tutor doesn’t match your other criteria, you will still be assigned a tutor with the content knowledge for your academic needs.
