We can help with the following subjects and courses:
Drop-in tutoring is offered during CLUE operating hours, 7-11 p.m., Sunday-Thursday. It is a one-on-one tutoring session between you and a tutor. You are expected to bring your own questions and our tutors can help answer them. These sessions are typically 15-20 minutes long.
Exam reviews are for the on-sequence 11X/12X courses, typically two days before the exam takes place. During the exam review session, tutors will present practice problems and detailed explanations for the answer. Sessions are typically 1.5 hours long.
In person tutoring takes place in Mary Gates Hall commons. Husky cards are required for after hours (after 5pm) access to the building.
Drop-in is currently closed. Visit the CLUE homepage for information on our open hours.
Discussion sessions take place either in person (MGH 2nd floor) or virtually. Virtual exam reviews are offered for on-sequence introductory courses in the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Math & Physics.
We try to equip our students with general problem-solving skills that are transferable to classes beyond physics. There is obviously an emphasis on physics coursework, but many of our approaches to physics underpin a broad range of problems in STEM.
You can expect tutors to ask leading questions, give constructive feedback, and foster independent learning & growth mindsets.
Make sure to bring your questions ready to be asked, a functional calculator, and a distraction free state of mind!
On busy nights, we try to keep our sessions under half an hour, but if there aren’t many students in the queue, we tend to spend more time for each student.
Simple! Just get back into the physics queue before 10:45 p.m. (or earlier if the questions on hand are formidable) and someone should be able to see you.
Sunday through Thursday
Our tutors have diverse experiences and come from a variety of disciplines. They have all received significant training and enjoy supporting students at any stage in the academic process!
