About Us

Tutoring Services at Diablo Valley College are available free of charge to all DVC students who seek help or are referred by an instructor. Tutoring instructional assistance in various academic subjects is provided by trained peer tutors and instructional assistants.

DVC Tutoring Services offers tutoring assistance on an appointment basis and/or on a drop-in basis at the tutoring centers listed below. Both one-on-one and group tutoring are available. All students receiving tutoring are enrolled in the non-credit Supervised Tutoring-20 course which involves no fees or grades.
