All students currently enrolled at Santa Monica College are encouraged to take advantage of the variety of supportive programs provided by the campus, including free peer tutoring in a wide range of courses. Tutors are current students at SMC and have been recommended to the role by the faculty. Tutoring is open to all current SMC students, both online and on ground.
