After Hours Tutoring with Tutor Matching Service
Tutor Matching Service (TMS) is an online tutor list that matches students with PASC tutors for tutoring sessions for ECU courses. PASC staff have collaborated with Tutor Matching Service for the convenience of students who either opt to not use PASC services or would rather have a private tutor. TMS tutors offer their services on a pay-per-session basis. They set their rates themselves, and you pay them directly through TMS by credit card. Tutoring sessions are held either online or at Joyner Library. All ECU enrolled students receive $50 in free tutoring each summer session and semester.
Look for PASC Badges on Tutor Matching Service
The Pirate Academic Success Center provides “badges” for student tutors who have been recommended by PASC staff, trained and certified by the PASC, or who have been endorsed by ECU academic departments.
To log on to Tutor Matching Service use: tutormatchingservice.com/ecu
Be sure to use your ECU e-mail to log into TMS @ ECU.
The Pirate Academic Success Center and East Carolina University has no oversight over TMS tutoring services and does not make any recommendation regarding outside tutors and their appropriateness to tutor inside the subject areas they have self-selected to tutor.
While you should always check out first the many tutoring and academic support services that we offer at no extra charge, the PASC is excited to offer this new partnership with Tutor Matching Service as an additional resource for East Carolina University students!
