The Tutoring Program supports select STEM courses. A list of supported courses is available on the Supported Courses webpage.
Group Tutoring
The Academic Tutoring Program's overarching goal is to foster inclusive peer-to-peer teaching and learning practices among undergraduate scholars. Our aim is for students to develop a deeper understanding of course content through peer learning groups that foster greater student confidence to succeed in their scholarly work at Brown and beyond.
Submit tutoring requests during the Early Request period:
-
Students can submit requests for group tutoring during the Early Request period, September 20-22, meaning students can sign in to the Tutoring portal at any time during the predefined access period to submit group tutoring requests.
Note: Submissions during the Early Request period do not guarantee immediate placement in a group.
The portal will reopen by 1 p.m. September 23 and handle new requests in the order received. - Students will receive an email outlining the details of their tutoring assignment or waitlist status by September 24.
Group tutoring sessions are scheduled between the hours of 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. ET Sunday-Thursday. We do our best to offer various group sessions, but students may need to alter their schedules to accommodate the available tutoring sessions.
