Im planning to transfer to 4 year University from a community college (which offers free tutoring) and curiuos is there free tutoring available in most US state Universities? If not what are my options I have most problems with chemistry and math.

Some do. Most teachers offer after school help, and you can form study groups with peers, and ask them to tutor you.
Your English is fine, ignore above.

And English… hence your use of “does” when you meant “do.”
You’ll probabably need a tutor in that, too.
Many community colleges, junior colleges, state universities, and other institutions of higher learning in the US have tutoriing programs… some free, some not. It all just depends.
Many libraries also have tutoring programs… usually free, but not always. Again, it all just depends.
There’s no one correct answer. The US is HUGE! And things vary from state to state, city to city, college to college.
You’re asking a question which simply cannot be answered much better than that.
Hope that helps.

I do not have experience with CCs, but it should be the same.
Professors will have office hours, this is time for you to go ask them questions about the course/homework/exams. They will help you learn. If by tutor, you mean someone to lecture to you again without you studying, forcing you to understand material while they are present helping you that you have not thought about at all in their absence, sorry, probably not in CC for free at least.
In a 4-year university, for lower classes you will have TAs. I am a TA, people come and make me help them do their homework every week. Then i see them fail their tests, and possibly the classes. You will have to study in college, do not count on ‘tutoring.’ Tutoring is for nubs, honestly. Learn how to learn.
