What it is

In the Drop-In Tutoring in Jester 315, specially-trained tutors are available to answer your questions about Mathematics, Physics, or Chemistry concepts. Tutors interact with students on a question-by-question basis, and students can expect multiple, brief interactions with available tutors. Drop-In Tutoring is a great place to study alone or in groups, and is especially good for completing homework assignments.

Available: Monday (1/24/2011) through Friday (5/6/2011)
During the hours:
Sunday 5pm – 10pm
Monday – Thursday 11am – 10pm

Why it works

Getting your homework done and understanding your homework problems are two different things. In Drop-In Tutoring, tutors help you get oriented toward the right answer, but won't hand it to you. They are much more focused on you understanding each part of the problem along the way. In many cases when you study, you only need a little boost to get on the right path – that is exactly what Drop-In Tutoring is here to provide.

How it works

Drop-In Tutoring is free and available to all students. Simply come to the Drop-In Tutoring center (JES A315A) and a receptionist will get you registered and will explain the Drop-In Tutoring layout and how to request assistance from a tutor. Have a seat in one of the spaces designated for Math, Chemistry, or Physics and feel free to study alone or with other students. Our question-and-answer system allows you to request a tutor's assistance when necessary. Questions are answered on a first-come, first-served basis. In general, only one question will be answered per interaction, and tutors try to keep each interaction to 3 to 5 minutes. When you are done studying, simply check out at the receptionist desk as you leave.

If you're looking for a more personalized, individualized experience you might want to try Appointment Tutoring, which allows you to meet one-on-one with a tutor for a one hour session. We may also be able to assist you and your friends or members of a student organization - who are all enrolled in the same course - arrange for tutors in a small group setting.
