Tutoring in Biological Sciences

www.eee.uci.edu/programs/biotutor

What are we and what do we do?

Our program offers free tutoring to students who seek assistance in their biology courses. We offer tutoring for all the Biological Sciences Core courses (Bio Sci 93, 94, 97, 98, 99 and other major required courses (D103, D104, D105, E106, E109, N110.) These sessions are taught by fellow undergraduate students who have previously taken the course and have excelled in their understanding of the course materials. The tutorial sessions are structured according to the tutor's style and knowledge to provide maximum benefit to the tutees. While there are no commitments or fees required by the tutees, students are encouraged to seek assistance as needed. The location and time of the sessions vary according to the lecture and quarter.

Tutoring information is announced during the first week's lecture and is posted on the board of every lecture thereafter. For each quarter, tutoring sessions begin the 2nd week of classes. For specific course, time and location, please visit the web site www.eee.uci.edu/programs/biotutor. We hope to see many of you take advantage of our service.

Interested In Becoming A Tutor?

We select new tutors every quarter. The applications are available year-round, but we do most of our recruiting during the seventh and eighth weeks of the prior quarter (i.e. recruiting for winter quarter will begin during the seventh or eighth week of fall quarter).

Interviews are held immediately after the applications are due. The names of selected tutors, along with the tutoring schedule, will be posted outside the Bio Sci Student Affairs Office (Bio Sci III) after all the interviews have been completed. Tutors earn 2 units - for a grade.

If you're interested in becoming a tutor, stop by the Bio Sci Student Affairs office (Bio Sci III), read through the guidelines and responsibilities and fill out an application! You can download an application at www.eee.uci.edu/programs/biotutor
