Content Tutoring

Content Tutoring helps undergraduate students advance their own success by offering personalized support with course-specific learning skills and strategies. Students are asked to come prepared with specific questions on course concepts or practice problems. Content tutors will guide students through problem-solving these questions by using tutoring skills that promote independent critical thinking. Content tutors are students who have excelled in relevant coursework and who are well-equipped to foster participation within the session, as well as build community with their students.

We offer tutoring for the following courses:

  • Biology (BICD 100, BILD 1, 2, 3, BIMM 100, BIPN 100)
  • Chemistry (CHEM 6A - C, 40A - B, CHEM 41A & C)
  • Economics (ECON 1, 3)
  • Mathematics (MATH 2, 3C, 4C, 10A - C, 18, 20A - E, 109, 170A)
  • Physics (1A - C, 2A - 2C)
  • Statistics (PSYC 60 & Math 11)
