Services for Students
The tutors at TASC care about you and about what and how you learn. They are trained to assist you in completing specific assignments while you strengthen your overall academic skills and make progress toward your goal of graduating.
TASC is offering tutoring in person in Library 220 and online via Zoom. You can schedule appointments as needed, or you can request a weekly appointment to meet regularly with the same tutor. Tutoring is free for all SF State students and is available for many subjects. Read our Agreements for Tutoring Success to learn about what you can expect in your session.

Drop-in Tutoring
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.

Group Tutoring
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.
Writing Groups for Students
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.
