The MiraCosta Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Learning Center provides free tutoring (both drop-in and scheduled appointments) for students in Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, and most courses in Astronomy, Oceanography, Earth Science, Geology, Horticulture, and Physical Science.
While there is an "m" in STEM, support for mathematics is through the Math Learning Center where you can find help with Mathematics, Statistics, and Philosophy 110 courses. Students interested in tutoring for Nursing courses can find support through the Nursing Student Hub on Canvas.
