The Drop-In (DI) Tutoring program provides short-term assistance in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Sociology at several locations across campus.
No registration is required. Simply stop in during our scheduled hours to receive help on homework, study for an exam, or ask questions. This is a great program for students who want help but can’t make a weekly commitment, or who want a tutor but don’t think they’ll need help every week.
Drop-in tutoring has ended for spring semester and is not available over the summer. Drop-in tutoring will resume on September 15, 2025.

What should I expect when attending a drop-in tutoring session?
Drop-in tutoring is a low stake, casual, and informal tutoring experience. You can stop by whenever you feel you need help with an assignment, studying for a test, or to simply ask a question. It’s designed for students who want help but can’t or don’t want to make a weekly commitment.
Where are drop-in tutors located?
Most drop-in tutoring can be found at two campus locations:
- College Library: in the back right corner of the first floor
- Steenbock Library: head downstairs to BioCommons (lower level)
