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.
Looking for tutoring that's available without an appointment? See our drop-in schedules, below. Please note that online and in-person drop-ins are in separate sections.
Looking to make a one-on-one appointment? You can search for and book tutoring appointments through TracCloud, or you can email OnlineLC@bristolcc.edu for our assistance.
Working on a research assignment? If you'd like support with finding or citing sources, we recommend Book-a-Librarian, from our colleagues in Library Services.

Writing Center appointment requests are only considered for times outside of their drop-in hours; to make a request, please email WritingCenter@bristolcc.edu with the needed time request. Please list up to three different options.
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.
For directions on using ThinkingStorm, please see this video or these slides.
