Mathematics Support Center

Free tutoring

Experienced tutors are available at no charge for individual and small-group tutoring. We work on a Walk-In basis, Room 256 Malott Hall.

While tutors in the Math Support Center have varying areas of expertise, we have found that:

any tutor may be helpful in any subject

either because your tutor:

• directly knows the material.
• can help you to think about it.
• can get you started and refer you to another tutor who may be more facile with the kind of help you need.

Tutoring Schedule:

• 10:00am - 4:30pm Weekdays 256 Malott
• 7:30pm - 10:00pm Sunday Evenings 256 Malott Use upper entrance opposite Bailey Hall
• 7:00pm - 9:00pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays North Campus -- 122 Court-Kay-Bauer

Tutor Schedule N.B.: CLOSED when Cornell is on Break

The schedule below is the schedule as of Tue, 01 Sep 2020 14:01:11 GMT.
While particular Tutor hours may change, we anticipate no further changes to the hours we are open.
re: Wellness Days: Optional Staff means: If no tutor is around, stop by again. Why? For the wellness of our tutors: Tutors may stop in throughout the scheduled hours, but may not if they need to take care of themselves.

Have a great Break, we'll be back when you are!

Private Tutoring

If you think you might want a private tutor, please start by using our free tutoring service. You may be able to get your questions answered right in our office. If you decide you really want private tutoring, we can put the word out to people who might be available. You can then make arrangements privately with them.

Library:

• A small library of math texts helps students to broaden their understanding of mathematical concepts.
• Our Survival Kit is filled with suggestions for succeeding in a Cornell math class.

Learning Strategies Center:

The Learning Strategies Center is the central academic support unit at Cornell University that provides undergraduate students with tutoring, supplemental courses, and facilitated study groups for Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics and Physics. Assistance in improving general study skills is available through semester long courses, workshops, individual consultations, and web site resources.

• http://lsc.cornell.edu/
• Notes and Worksheets from the Learning Strategies Center Mathematics Branch support courses:
  • MATH 1005, 1006, 1011, and 1012 which meet weekly to supplement lecture material, answer questions, and provide tips for effectively learning the material in MATH 1105, 1106, 1110, and 1120. Students who enroll in a support course receive one transcript credit (depending on college) and tutoring services. There are no exams or homework assignments. Students receive S/U grades determined by attendance only. Students who do not wish to enroll are invited to attend the classes but cannot utilize the tutoring services.
