Academic Support Center

Friendly, professional tutoring support for Mayland students — from quick questions to in-depth help with writing, math, science, study skills, and more.

What is the ASC?

The Academic Support Center is Mayland Community College’s primary academic tutoring service. Our on-campus location, G-205, is staffed with professional tutors who are prepared to help Mayland students with academic challenges such as preparing for challenging tests in Precalculus or Chemistry, writing an MLA-style research paper in English, or developing effective study skills and habits for a busy semester.

Our friendly, low-pressure tutoring space is designed to support students in Mayland’s rigorous academic programs. Students may walk in during our hours of operation and receive immediate assistance from our professional tutors.

Cory Lowery

English and Humanities Instructor
MA in History Education, UNC Wilmington

Hello Mayland students! I have over a decade of experience helping students to sharpen their writing skills and make it through challenging research paper assignments.

I have always had a passion for constructing effective arguments and rhetoric, and one of the great benefits of this work is learning from all of the unique perspectives students bring to the table.

I have a special interest in history, politics, and philosophy, and I am able to provide content assistance in a wide range of humanities and social sciences courses.

In my free time, you are most likely to find me reading a history book, hiking in the mountains of WNC, or playing the latest crop of games released on Steam.

STEM Instructor
PhD in Marine Biology, UNC Wilmington

Nice to meet you, Mayland! Before joining the team at MCC, I received a PhD in marine biology from UNCW, with an emphasis on microbial ecology and invertebrate biology, where I also taught undergraduate courses.

Some of my passions include scientific writing, community outreach, and teaching.

I plan to host workshops to help students develop their study skills, manage their time, and be more effective communicators.

In my free time I love to read, be outdoors, play video games, and care for my pets!

Visit me in the center if you need math or science homework help, want edits on your lab report, or just want to chat!
