Tutoring and Writing Center Services

TUTORING & WRITING CENTER SERVICES

The Library Learning Commons (LLC) is the central hub for tutoring at Bristol Community College, housing both the Writing Center and subject-based tutoring. With locations on each campus, through online and in-person appointments, LLC Tutoring and the Writing Center are here to help you achieve your educational goals, whether you’re here for just a few classes or to get a degree. 

Tutors are available to help you with study skills (note-taking, test preparation, etc.), specific course content questions, and all types of writing (including non-class-related writing). Whether you're looking to get on track, stay on track, or scale new heights in your learning, tutors are there to help you work towards reaching your next level.

To search for and book a 1-to-1 appointment with a tutor, use TracCloud (if prompted, sign in with your accessBCC credentials) or email us at OnlineLC@bristolcc.edu.

For drop-in support (available without an appointment), please see below. Online and in-person drop-in schedules are in separate sections.

Writing Center support is included as a drop-in subject, but they have their own schedule. Click here to skip down to it.

Please note: We're able to cover a wider range of courses by appointment than by drop-in. So, if your course isn't listed among the drop-in options below, there may still be appointment-based options available. Check in TracCloud or send us an email to learn more.

If neither online nor in-person drop-in hours work with your schedule, you may request an appointment. To do so, please email WritingCenter@bristolcc.edu. 

The Writing Center also offers emailed reviews of completed or partial drafts. Please submit your draft (as a .doc or .docx file), the assignment sheet, and three concerns about your writing to WritingCenter@bristolcc.edu. This email should come from your Bristol email account, and your student ID number should be included in your message.

This service is offered Monday through Friday, with a general turnaround time of 24 - 36 hours (so please plan accordingly).

ThinkingStorm, an external tutoring service available to Bristol students, is available for online tutoring in selected subjects. It's intended for use at times when Bristol's tutors are not available, or for courses our tutors don't cover. ThinkingStorm users get thirty free use-as-you-go hours, which reset approximately every semester. 

To access ThinkingStorm, click here.

For directions on using ThinkingStorm, please see this video or these slides.

Please Note: If you use our direct link to ThinkingStorm (above), but after signing in with BCC credentials only see the college's Online Learning page, try clicking your browser's back button. This will usually bring you to ThinkingStorm's landing page. If not, coming back to this page and trying the link again should work.
