Online tutoring takes place in our ASC Virtual Tutoring Space, a Zoom room where you can log in whenever the ASC is open to get help from our friendly, qualified tutors. You can either book an online appointment in advance, or drop in and let the tutors or staff on shift know what you’re working on and they’ll connect you to the next available tutor.
Tutoring is available seven days a week during the term, including evenings and weekends. Check our ASC page on MyHeritage for up-to-date hours and service types.
