The majority of tutors who work at the Math Workshop have taken courses up to or beyond Calculus II. The Math Workshop's head tutors are, as a general rule, math or science majors and are available to help students who are in advanced math courses. Some of the tutors are not math majors but rather have specialized knowledge in particular subjects like chemistry, computer science, economics, education, logic, physics or statistics.
Employment Opportunities
If you would like the opportunity to share your expertise with your peers, then tutoring in the Math Workshop may be the place for you.
