Tutoring
From Unofficial Guide to Engineering
Tutoring is available free of charge from a number of sources. It is important to seek academic assistance early if you feel that you need it. You should start by consulting the professor and the Graduate Student Instructor (Teaching Assistant) in your course during office hours. Some other resources include:
The Student Learning Center offers individual and group tutorial sessions and workshops for a number of lower-division courses, including languages, pre-calculus, statistics, chemistry, biology, physics, social sciences, and writing. Check in at the SLC for their schedule or refer to their webpage. Cesar Chavez Student Center; (510) 642-7332; http://slc.berkeley.edu
Charles Tunstall Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) – Provides academic counseling, advice on scholarship support, and tutoring. MEP is a liaison with the state-wide MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) Program. MEP targets underrepresented engineering students but is open to all undergraduate students, or students interested in obtaining an undergraduate engineering degree. 312 McLaughlin Hall; 642-0873; http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/cues/mep/index.html
Julia Morgan Engineering Program (JMEP) – Provides academic support such as pre-admissions advising, tutoring, pre-graduate school advising, and financial aid resources. The program also provides seminars on reducing test anxiety, applying to graduate school, and enhancing communication. JMEP works closely with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the Women of Etcheverry. 312 McLaughlin Hall; (510) 643-6443; http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/cues/jmep/index.html
Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) student members of the EECS undergraduate honor society have organized a voluntary tutoring service for both lower and upper division EECS courses. The schedule for this service is posted outside of the HKN offices (290 Cory Hall and 345 Soda Hall) and is available on their webpage. An HKN officer is designated each semester to coordinate a schedule and to respond to individual requests. If you have any questions you may send email to: tutors@hkn.berkeley.edu. 290 Cory Hall, 345 Soda Hall; http://hkn.berkeley.edu
Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE), an honor society for Computer Science majors in the College of Letters and Science, provides tutoring for computer science courses. 345 Soda; (510) 642-9997; officers@upe.cs.berkeley.edu (email); http://upe.cs.berkeley.edu
Residence Halls Academic Centers. Experienced graduate and undergraduate tutors hold drop-in hours and offer general study tips and assistance on assignments, essays, and problem sets in your unit.
