What is the Academic Success Center?
The Academic Success Center is here to help YOU! We provide free tutoring and other academic resources to all CBC students in a variety of subjects.

We offer tutoring in the following subjects:
- Accounting
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Computer Science
- Economics
- Japanese
- Math (Pre-college through Calculus)
- Physics
- Psychology
- Spanish
- Writing for all subjects and classes
Visit us at our ASC Canvas page to sign in and access drop-in tutoring, schedule appointments for one-on-one tutoring times and find free resources to help you succeed in your classes. You can also view our current tutoring schedules.
ASC Tutoring
Drop-in tutoring with the ASC is available Monday through Friday in the subjects listed above, via Zoom during remote operations. Our ASC tutors are available to help you at the times listed on our schedules page, and you will access the Zoom tutoring rooms by signing in and navigating to the appropriate tutor’s link. You’ll enter their Zoom waiting room, and your tutor will be with you shortly. Our tutors may be working with multiple students during drop-in tutoring hours, but rest assured that your questions will be answered. Contact us if you have any questions about accessing drop-in tutoring or how to find the help you need.
We also offer tutoring by appointment for several subjects, which allows you to reserve one-on-one time with just you and the tutor. We offer by appointment tutoring in writing (for all classes and subjects—not just English!), computer science, math, creative writing, chemistry, biology and radiologic technology. To book an appointment with a tutor in any of these subjects, visit our Canvas page and scroll down to find the subject for which you need help. Contact us if you need any assistance in booking one-on-one tutoring appointments.
eTutoring
If you don’t see the subject you need help with listed above, or if the times available for ASC tutoring don’t fit with your schedule, you are also able to take advantage of eTutoring, which is available 24/7 and includes options for evenings, nights and weekend hours as well as asynchronous tutoring.
You can access eTutoring to view schedules, book appointments and get help through our ASC Canvas page or through the eTutoring link in the left-hand menu of any of your CBC Canvas courses. If you have trouble accessing eTutoring or have questions about what eTutoring offers, contact us at the telephone number or email below!
eTutoring offers the services detailed in the dropdowns, below.
The eTutoring online writing lab allows you to submit a draft of your paper to a tutor, ask for specific feedback and receive your work back with a tutor’s response within 24 to 48 hours. This asynchronous writing help works great if you don’t have time to meet with our ASC writing center tutors during their scheduled tutoring times.
Live eTutoring allows you to meet with a tutor for a one-on-one session in a variety of subjects, via a fully interactive, online environment. Live eTutoring help is available during the weekdays, in the evenings and on weekends—so if you are a working student, you can still get the help that you need.
Finally, eTutoring allows you to submit a specific question for any of the subject areas covered, and an eTutor will respond to your question within 24 to 48 hours. eQuestions are a great option if you just have a quick question but none of the ASC tutors are available at the time you need your question answered.
