Tutoring
Free tutoring: The Mathematics Department provides free walk-in tutoring in MCT 252. The graduate student(s) tutoring hours for the semester are posted at this link: Mathematics Department's Paid Tutor(s).
In addition, several upper level undergraduate mathematics majors volunteer their time to do free walk-in tutoring in MCT 252. These undergraduates will help with any mathematics class up to and including Calculus I (MAT211). The most recent volunteer tutoring schedule can be found here. Because students' hours vary from week to week, so you should check the bulletin board outside of MCT 250 or the door of MCT 252 to see the current schedule.
Private tutoring: The Mathematics Department also maintains a list of undergraduate students who are willing to do private tutoring for a fee. The Mathematics Department does not certify or recommend specific tutors. This list is simply a service allow those in need of help to get in touch with those who are willing to help.
