Our online tutoring is one of the many tutoring services offered to you by the Learning Center. We provide online tutoring in Writing and Mathematics for currently registered Oakton students only. Since most students work better with a tutor in person, we encourage you to visit us in room 2400 at the Des Plaines Campus or room A135 at the Ray Hartstein Campus. However, if you are unable to come to either campus for tutoring, you are welcome to use this online service. For our part, we will address your specific questions and suggest ways you can improve your understanding of the material. While we will note patterns of errors, we will not correct all of your mistakes.
Online Writing Lab
Please remember that our online writing lab is not a proofreading service. If you would like some help with a paper you have written, we expect that you have already spell-checked and completed preliminary editing.

For questions about grammar or your assignment, such as:
When do you use who or whom?

What is passive voice? 

Have I written any fragments? Please show me an example.
Do my main points support my thesis?

Submit your paper to the Online Writing Lab

Online Math Lab
Please remember that the purpose of our Tutoring Online is to clarify concepts and not to do assignments for you. If you would like some help with a problem, we expect that you have already attempted to solve it. 


Appropriate types of questions for Math Online include:
  • Here are the steps I have taken to solve the problem, but I cannot seem to figure out why my answer does not match the answer in the book.
  • What is the difference between factor and multiple?
  • In my notes, I have 2(x + 3) - 5 = 2x - 1. I don't understand how to solve it.
