FSW offers 24/7 online tutoring that connects you one-to one with a subject expert tutor when you need assistance. The College has partnered with Tutor.com to provide 24/7 online tutorial assistance for online and face-to-face (ground) courses. The additional support provided by Tutor.com complements the College’s campus-based Academic Support tutoring centers; both services designed to assist you with academic success and persistence.
Access is available on demand 24/7 to provide support in over 40 subject areas, such as:
- Math - Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Geometry, Statistics, Trigonometry, Finite Math, Discrete Math
- Science - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Anatomy & Physiology, Organic Chemistry

How To Use This Service Make the most of your four FSW Tutor.com hours* with these suggestions:
- On average, a Tutor.com session should be no more than 30-35 minutes per session. Use your FSW funded time wisely!
- Review your notes and homework problems ahead of time! Figure out what you don’t know first so you are able to ask questions about specific content or confusing concepts.
- Make sure you have the assignment ready to reference your instructor’s requirements/guidelines with the Tutor.com tutor.
- Writing assistance - proofread and edit your papers prior to submitting any documents. A drop-off essay review now utilizes 35 minutes of your free tutoring time.
- Math questions - take a picture of your work and upload it. Working out a problem while writing with a mouse on the white board can be tricky.
*Florida SouthWestern State College reserves the right to limit or increase the time available for use of the service.
