The Division of Basic Studies offers tutorial services free of charge to students in Remedial Mathematics, Mathematical Reasoning with Elementary Functions, Growth and Symmetry, and Mathematics with Applications. There is also assistance for students in the Physical Sciences who need help with topics in general education mathematics.
Tutors are both peer mentors and graduate professionals.
Peer tutors are hired on the basis of their academic performance and ability to tutor as demonstrated in the screening process. Training for peer tutors, under the direction of the Mathematics Lab Coordinator, is an ongoing process each semester. The training varies from individual to group sessions, according to needs. The workshops, mostly conducted by professionals, are designed to review concepts in addition to assisting students with homework problems. No appointments are necessary.
