Online Tutoring

In addition to face-to-face tutoring in the Center for Academic Excellence, current Durham Tech students have access to online tutors at any time through Upswing.

Students can access Upswing by using the same username and password used for Self-Service. Once logged in, use the search box at the top of the screen to search for a tutor in the desired subject area.

If a tutor is available immediately, there will be a link next to the tutor's profile saying “Get Tutored Now.” Students also have the option to book an appointment in the future. Having a computer that is equipped with a camera and a microphone is preferable but not necessary. If a student does not have access to a computer with a camera and microphone, they may email cae@durhamtech.edu or call 919-536-7232, ext 2404 to make arrangements for the use of one.
