We have pivoted so we can continue to offer a high-quality tutoring experience online! We are no longer physically on campus - but we have shifted our operations entirely online in accordance with government directives. Flexible hours, slots in the evenings and on weekends, we are here for you.
For the 2020-2021 academic year, all tutoring will be conducted online via the Microsoft Teams platform. This application is available for free to students through Office 365. You will need to register for an appointment using your McGill email. Before you make your first appointment, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with Microsoft Teams features. For additional information, please visit our Tutorial Service webpage.
For general inquiries about the tutorial service, please send an email to the coordinator at mwctutorial [at] mcgill.ca.
