CS Tutoring

Getting Help for CS21/31/35 classes

General info about getting help in CS21/31/35:

Go to ninja sessions first - we require that students attend at least two ninja sessions before being matched with a tutor
Go to professors' office hours
If after going to ninja sessions and office hours you still feel you need additional assistance, you can ask your professor or Lauri about getting a tutor

You will be emailed your tutor’s information - it is the tutee’s responsibility to contact the tutor to set up the first meeting
You can meet at a time and place which works for both parties - the library or a student lounge are good options
Please come prepared with specific questions about course concepts or an upcoming test/quiz - tutors have been directed not to help with weekly lab assignments as there are plenty of other opportunities to get help with the lab
Students can get up to 10 hours of tutoring per semester - if additional hours are desired, please contact your professor

Tutoring is a great way to be a part of the CS department while helping your fellow students learn CS
Tutors are employees of the Dean’s Office but are hired and matched by the CS department
If you are interested in working as a CS tutor, please contact Lauri and, if you are qualified, she will send you an application
We typically look for students who have earned a "B+" or above in the course for which they will be tutoring - we also want students who have demonstrated an aptitude for helping others
