Drop-In Tutoring Via Zoom
Drop-in virtual tutoring is available through the FSW Writing/Speech Center and FSW Math Center.
To access our drop-in virtual tutoring services, visit the FSW Academic Support home page and scroll down until you see the header labeled, “Meet Virtually with a Tutor.”
From here, click on the appropriate button link for the assistance you need: “Academic Support - Writing/Speech Remote” for tutoring in writing and/or speech, or “Academic Support - Math Remote” for tutoring in math.
Once you click on a button link, you will be redirected to our QLess, which is software that enables you to join our online queue.
Fill out the necessary information to start signing in, including your name and phone number, and click “Next.”
If you are signing in to the “Academic Support - Writing/Speech Remote” queue, you will need to choose if you are dropping in for “Speech Assistance” or “Writing Assistance.”
If you are signing in to the “Academic Support - Math Remote” queue, you can skip this step.
Under “Additional Information,” write out your student ID number, your FSW email address, the course you are stopping by for help with, and the type: either “On Campus” or “Remote.”
Then, click “Next.”
Once you’ve completed the sign-in process, you will begin receiving text notifications letting you know where you are in our virtual line.
As soon as a tutor is available, you will receive a message telling you to “Check your FSW email account for the link to your tutoring session.”
Next, open your FSW email, click on the Zoom link in the email from your tutor, and click “Open Zoom Meetings” when prompted to join your tutor’s Zoom room and begin the tutoring consultation.

Appointment-Based Tutoring (FSW Peer Tutoring Center)
Appointment-based tutoring is available for select subject areas through the FSW Peer Tutoring Center.
To schedule an appointment with a peer tutor, visit our Peer Tutoring Center website and scroll down until you see the QR Code.
Click or scan the QR code to schedule an appointment through TutorTrac. You will then be prompted to log in with your FSW Portal credentials.
Then, click “Search Availability.”
This will redirect you to a screen where you can begin searching for available appointment blocks. From the “Center” drop-down menu, choose “Peer Tutoring Appointment Center.”
Under “Section,” choose the course you would like to receive tutoring in.
Next, choose the “Location.”
Please Note: Let’s say you are a student on the Lee Campus and would like to schedule a Zoom appointment. You could choose “Lee Q-222 or Remote” or “Remote Only,” but you could actually choose the other options as well – “Collier J-204 or Remote” or “Charlotte B-101 or Remote.”
That’s because even tutors who are working from the Collier or Charlotte campuses can work with you via Zoom.
If you are not seeing any available appointments after conducting your search, try choosing the other locations. Any option will allow you to work remotely via Zoom with a tutor.
Choose the range of dates and times that you’d be available for an appointment.
Please Note: If you’re not seeing any available appointments within your preferred timeframe after your initial search, consider expanding the range of dates and times to see all possible appointment blocks and make necessary arrangements.
Finally, choose the specific days you are available to meet with your tutor, and then click “Search.”
You’ll then see all available appointments during the dates, times, and days you limited your search to. Click on the time you would like to schedule.
A window will appear with your “Appointment Entry” information. (You can include a note for your tutor if you would like.)
Click the Save button to schedule and confirm your appointment.
Now you can see your upcoming appointments when you sign in through TutorTrac. You can reach TutorTrac by clicking the QR code on the Academic Support Peer Tutoring Center.
When you sign in through TutorTrac at the scheduled time of your appointment, a clickable link will appear that will take you directly to your tutor’s Zoom meeting room.

To connect with a subject expert tutor through Tutor.com, login to Canvas, navigate to your course, and click on the “Tutor.com 24/7 Homework Help” tab located in the menu on the left side of the screen.
