How Our Tutors Help

Our tutors include both professional tutors and student tutors recommended by faculty. They can:

• Help you begin assignments and projects
• Offer advice on how to approach problems
• Encourage you to develop problem-solving techniques

Our tutors do not:

• Solve assigned problems
• Check completed problems for errors
• Sit with you as you complete an entire assignment
• Act as personal tutors

Tutors typically help many students during a given time slot. We also offer individual 30-minute appointments for MAT 099, 100-level math & 100-level biology courses.
