While both services are free to you as a Capella learner, each one offers different kinds of support.

Smarthinking provides live one-on-one tutoring, but they focus more on a broader range of support in various statistical and mathematical subjects. They can help you better understand quantitative and mathematical topics from a mathematical perspective.

Quantitative skills coaches focus on providing support and guidance in quantitative skill topics during lab sessions, addressing your questions, and providing free resources and materials.
