    *Announcement*
    The Math Skills Center at Anoka Ramsey Community College is now offering drop-in tutoring via Zoom for Summer 2020.

    The classes that drop-in tutoring is available for are listed below:

    Math 0100 Math 0230
    Math 0240 Math 0250
    Math 1100 Math 1200

    Drop-In hours of availability for Summer 2020:
    Monday – Thursday 11:00 – 3:00
    Drop-In hours and available classes are subject to change though-out the semester as needs arise.

    Drop-In tutoring via Zoom will work very much like drop-in tutoring at the Math Skills Center lab. A student can come join the Zoom meeting, the student will be put into a breakout room where the student can work on homework. If the student needs help with a homework question the student can “Ask a question” and a peer-tutor will be added to the breakout room to help. Peer-tutors will help as many students as possible so a student may have to wait a few minutes to be assigned a tutor to answer their question, please show respect and be patient.

    Instructions for Joining Drop-In tutoring:

    1. Sign into your Zoom account using your star ID and password. You can sign in via the Zoom App or the Web Portal but the Web Portal does have some annotation limitations.
    2. Join the Meeting using the Meeting ID 763 433 1260.
    3. You will be admitted to the waiting room where the host will ask you to fill out the student sign in form.
    4. You will then be admitted to a breakout room where you will be able to work on your homework privately at your own pace, if you need help click the “ask for help” button at the bottom of your Zoom Tools and a tutor will come to your breakout room to assist you.

    If you have any trouble logging into Drop-In tutoring, please call the Math Skills Center at 763-433-1260 for assistance.

    If you have questions, please contact our staff.

  • Yes, you!

    Peer tutors are Anoka-Ramsey students who excel in their course work and possess skills and qualities that make them valuable tutors. In addition, peer tutors have been recommended by Anoka-Ramsey faculty as demonstrating superior subject knowledge.

    Your success in a recent class may be valuable to students who will take that same class in the future. If you feel like you would enjoy tutoring your peers in a subject where you've been particularly successful, please follow the recommendations for becoming a peer tutor.

    How to Become a Peer Tutor

    • One way to become a peer tutor is to receive a recommendation from an instructor. You may speak with an instructor in the field of study that you would like to tutor.
    • You may also contact any of our tutoring centers to learn more about peer tutoring.
    • If you are recommended by a professor to become a peer tutor, all tutors must complete the necessary peer tutor training and the required face-to-face training sessions on your campus.

    Academic Skills Center Resources

  • Anoka-Ramsey Community College students are able to check out a calculator for use for the summer semester 2020. The procedures for checking out a calculator have changed due to our current off campus online classes. Calculator check out will be on a first come, first serve basis due to the limited number of calculators available. Graphing and Scientific calculators are able to be checked out.

    If you would like to check out a calculator for summer 2020 please fill out the form below to put your name on the Summer 2020 Calculator check-out waiting list. Once the Math Skills Center has determined the need and availability of calculators you will receive an email with information regarding how, when, and where you can check out your calculator. If you are unable to come to campus, it may be possible to have a calculator shipped to you. Shipping availability may be limited.

    Summer 2020 Calculator Waiting List Form

    The Math Skills Center has also researched and created a list of calculators available for free online. We encourage you to check these out and to communicate with your instructors to see if it is acceptable to use an online calculator for your class/tests or quizzes. You can save these calculators as a bookmark in your browser for easier access.
