Tutoring Options

  • Drop-In Tutoring is provided for many of high demand courses including math, computer science, chemistry and physics. No appointments are necessary.  These sessions are offered in a combination of virtual and in-person options.  
  • Knack Tutoring offers tutors that are fellow peers that already aced the class, and/or sign up as a Knack Tutor to help your peers in classes you have aced. They offer tutoring in many courses including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, math, computer science, physics, etc.   All tutoring through Knack is virtual.
  • Peer-Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Sessions provide opportunities for students enrolled in traditionally challenging courses to work together to review course content, develop learning and study strategies, and prepare for exams. These voluntary sessions are offered several times each week and are facilitated by peer leaders (PLUS leaders) who have already successfully completed the course.  Courses include math, physics, chemistry, and more.  
  • Learning Assistant Program facilitates student learning and small group discussions inside the classroom. 
  • Communications Center is available to help students with things like multimodal projects for ENGL classes and reports or presentations for upper level classes.
  • The Office of Minority Education (OMED) offers several tutoring options for students including walk-in tutoring services, guided study groups, study sessions, concept class reviews and focus on physics sessions.  All students are invited to these sessions.
