Tutoring: Full Service Model

Utilizes vendor tutors and services exclusively.

This model should provide synchronous and asynchronous tutoring services, including essay review as specified in the RFP.

Turnaround times for asynchronous tutoring or essay review should be reasonably short.

Wait or queue times for synchronous tutoring should be described.

“Up to 24/7” online tutoring services.

Tutoring: Blended Model

Some colleges may wish to utilize their own tutors to provide online tutoring services (OEI or non-OEI courses).

The Blended Model allows local colleges to use the vendor’s platform (consistency for students) for online tutoring, but with their own “locally-based” tutors.

Scope of service in the Blended Model could be from 1-99% local tutors, depending on the needs of the college.

The vendor and OEI will work to develop implementation details and define parameters as necessary.

Tutoring: Buy-In Option

The Buy-In Option allows any CCC to purchase online tutoring services for any course that is not already offered as part of the OEI.

This option will be made available to all 112 California Community Colleges, not only those 24 already offering courses through the OEI.

Colleges exercising the Buy-In Option could seek online tutoring for any class they offer (not limited to the list of 19 C-ID / ADT courses)
