FAQ
- What does "on demand" mean?
- Live tutoring for supported on demand courses is available at any time. Typical wait times are 1 to 5 minutes.
- What does "by request" mean?
- In by request courses, you can select a specific tutor and message them. If they are available, they will respond within 24 hours. Plan ahead, as by request tutoring is not guaranteed.
- How many hours do I get?
- Each student gets 6 hours per week across all subjects. Be sure to plan ahead and study across the semester!
- Do I have to pay?
- No, you do not have to pay anything extra to access TutorMe. TutorMe is provided as a service of UTSA. Please log in to TutorMe through Canvas, not the TutorMe website, to avoid being asked to pay.
