The Elsie MacGill Learning Centre (EMLC) is focused on furthering students understanding and comprehension in their engineering studies, and provides students with the academic support they need to achieve their learning goals.

Whether you have a quick question, want to review a solution, or just need a fresh explanation of content that was covered in class; our Engineering scholars are here to help with your first-year ECOR, math and science courses. New this year, we have added CIVE 2101, CIVE 2200, ELEC 2501, ELC 2507, MAAE 2300, MAAE 2400, SYSC 2004 and SYSC 2006 to the courses we support!

Winter 2025 Tutoring Services

The EMLC will be offering tutoring sessions in-person (in 5030MC) and online (via TutorOcean). The service is free to use for all first-year engineering students. Use the link below to log-on to your TutorOcean account to book a session with an EMLC Scholar.

At the beginning of each term, all students registered in a course supported by the Elsie MacGill Learning Centre will be sent an email to their Carleton email address inviting them to join our tutoring platform. The invitation email is sent from the address notifications@mg.tutorocean.com. If you did not receive an invitation email, or have any issues accessing our services please contact the team at EMLC@carleton.ca for assistance.
