Course-Specific Group Tutoring
TILT Tutoring is devoted to fostering a greater understanding of biology, chemistry, math, and physics. We provide a welcoming environment and a friendly staff to answer questions, clarify and deepen understanding of key concepts, and review course material with you.
Unlike individual tutoring, TILT Tutoring provides an opportunity to participate in active learning facilitated by a trained tutor and to work closely with peers who are taking the same class as yourself.

Get the Most out of Tutoring
Here are a few suggestions:
- Attend course lectures and review text material on your own.
- Identify areas in which you most need help by tackling your assigned homework before coming to the Tutorial Hall.
- Identify your strengths and weaknesses by preparing specific questions and objectives.
- Bring your textbook, course syllabus, slides from the lecture, and any worksheets associated with your assignment.
- Be an active learner. Ask questions until you are confident you understand the material.
- Don't just watch your tutors solving problems on the board. Stand alongside of them; work the problems out together.
- Keep notes of your tutor's explanations, answers, and clarifications. Add them to your lecture notes for when it comes time to study for exams.
- Plan ahead and expect larger groups before exams and homework due dates.
- Have a positive attitude and be eager to learn new things.
