What do I need to bring with me when I come?

You should come prepared with the same items you need for your mathematics class: pencil, paper, notes from class, textbook (or MML login information), and calculator. 

Do I need to have an appointment?

Only to guarantee time with someone who is prepared and qualified to help with your particular math course. Otherwise, tutors may already be working with other students.
