for Math 3-250

Look at the schedules for drop-in hours first.

The schedules for drop-in hours are available early in each semester—check back for updates, because schedules can change. Make sure you hit “reload” to get the most current schedule. You should use drop-in hours if at all possible. This can save time by avoiding problems with phone tag, conflicts in schedules, and so forth.  The schedules are at http://www.psu.edu/dept/altoonalrc/prosch.html (for professional tutors).

If you can use drop-in hours, just drop in.

If you want to see one of the tutors during his or her drop-in hours, you do not need an appointment. Simply stop by the tutor’s office during the scheduled drop-in hours. Of course, you will have to wait for your turn if other students are there.

If you can’t use drop-in hours, check the list of courses for which we have tutoring.

We have peer tutors available by appointment for SP08 math courses. Please follow the instructions at http://www.psu.edu/dept/altoonalrc/crslist.html to request a peer tutor.
