The College

The College Core Tutor Program is a peer-based tutoring program designed to provide one-on-one assistance and small group support to undergraduate students completing the Core requirements. The College sponsors this program for students who wish to have additional assistance in chemistry, economics, mathematics, physics, biology, and writing.

The tutors in math, science, and economics are graduate students or upperclassmen in the College. Writing Tutors are students in graduate or professional programs at the University of Chicago.

The priority Core classes are: general chemistry, general physics, calculus, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. We have recently expanded our program to include tutors for organic chemistry and biology.
