STANDING TUTORING APPOINTMENTS

If you have tried walk-in tutoring and SI, and still require more assistance, or if you need help in a course not supported by our other services, you can request a standing tutoring appointment. Read our Attendance Policy to find out how standing appointments work. Then come in to the Academic Development office in Cyert Hall, Suite B5 to fill out a Tutoring Request Form. We'll do our best to find you a tutor as quickly as possible.

Please note that standing tutoring appointments may involve small group tutoring — individual tutoring appointments (one tutor per student) are not guaranteed.

"I never would have made it through Physics II had it not been for peer tutoring in Mudge. And if it weren't for the help of my tutor for Physics I, I would not have made it there either. Through Academic Development programs, I have been able to persist in some really tough courses. Thanks!"

students say...

I recently was assisted by one of your tutors in my graduate level statistics class. I would like to go on record to say how helpful the tutor was during the semester. She was patient and willing to explain things in a way that was easy for me to learn. This was the first time I had ever engaged in any statistics class and the class was done on an accelerated basis, so her job was difficult to say the least. She is very professional, however, she also has the ability to put the learner at ease by being very friendly. Your department is certainly benefitted by having workers like her on the team.

thank you
