Schedule

Tutoring at the Math Center is a drop-in service staffed by students. You may come in to have specific questions answered, or to do your homework. Either way, tutors are scheduled to help if you have difficulty with a problem. Come early in the semester and return often.

Our tutors are mostly math majors who intend to become teachers. To become a tutor, they must have at least a 3.0 GPA in their math courses, be recommended by a faculty member, and interview with the Director of the Math Center. Tutors are able to help students with 100 level math courses, as well as some math found in non-math courses.

The role of the tutor is to:

• Provide a comfortable and patient atmosphere.
• Answer questions you have about the concepts taught during class.
• Help you read and understand your textbook and notes.
• Help you prepare for quizzes and exams in advance.

To make your tutoring session productive:

• Try your homework or study for your quiz or test before coming to the Center.
• Highlight any questions you have.
• Bring your class notes, handouts, and textbook with you.
• Ask the tutor specific questions.
• Reduce stress, do not wait until the last minute to come in for help.
