Services for Students

At TASC, we can support your learning in a variety of courses and majors. We provide writing tutoring for all students, from first year to graduate-level, in all courses and disciplines. For course-specific tutoring, click on the buttons below to learn more.

For undergraduate students, you can make a tutoring appointment for writing support or help with a specific subject by logging in to Navigator. You will be prompted to sign in with your SF State ID number and password. If you need help, refer to our guide for scheduling a tutoring appointment. 

Graduate students can request an appointment for tutoring by filling out the information here. 

Refer to our list of courses we tutor to see if your class is listed.

Stop by LIB 220 or our Zoom reception room to talk directly with our front desk staff. If there is a tutor available, we will introduce you and you can get started. If tutors are all working with other students, we will offer to schedule an appointment for you for another time. Stop by during the hours listed below to schedule an appointment for later, ask questions about tutoring, and (if available) meet with a tutor right away for a drop-in session. 

Spring 2022

We offer workshops, study sessions, and writing groups for students. Our discipline-specific workshops focus on success in a particular course or subject area while our academic skills workshops will help you develop foundational skills for continued academic success. We offer study sessions weekly for certain courses. If you’re interested in a writing community, we offer writing groups for both upper division and graduate students. Click here to see the schedule of offerings.

If you’d like to write in the company of other students, if you need some accountability, and/or if you’d rather write in a community with a tutor present to answer quick questions, then one of TASC’s writing groups might be just the thing for you. To find out more, click on the link below that fits where you are in your SF State journey.

TASC offers tutoring for graduate students. For information about reading/writing tutoring options for grad students, click here.

TASC has created a self-paced set of modules to help students navigate digital learning environments, full of tips and strategies for studying online. All SF State students can access Learning Online 101, a self-paced workshop developed by the Tutoring and Academic Support Center and offered through iLearn. The workshops allow you to work at your own pace through four modules, boosting your skills and confidence with learning online. You can self-enroll if you click on this link and then login. 

Participate in this iLearn mini-course to learn about tutoring at SF State. We hope that when you finish, you'll be convinced that tutoring is for everyone!

This site contains resources and handouts that were created/compiled by the folks at TASC. They can be freely accessed and utilized by SF State students, tutors, and instructors.
