Science and QR Tutoring Program
The Science and QR Tutoring Program offers one-on-one tutoring to students who are experiencing academic difficulty in a specific course. Tutoring is provided in all areas of math and science as well as in economics.
Eligibility
Any student enrolled in Yale College and experiencing academic difficulty is eligible for up to ten hours of tutoring per course each semester through the program. For eligibility purposes, academic difficulty is defined as currently earning or likely to earn a grade of "C+" or below in a course.
The Tutoring Program assumes the cost of tutoring. If more than ten hours are needed, the student may request additional time from the Program Coordinator. Normally, additional sessions are limited to no more than five hours.
Requesting a Tutor
Students requesting tutors may obtain applications from their Residential College Dean or from the Coordinator of the Tutoring Program in 25 SSS. The student must complete part "A" and the instructor must complete part "B". Completed applications should be submitted to the Science and QR Center, SSS20-25 (located at the courtyard level of SSS). Assignment of tutors is made by the Program Coordinator and, whenever possible, will be made within one day of receipt of the application. Students and tutors are notified of the assignment by email.

Students should contact the tutor as soon as they receive the email assignment. Sessions are scheduled by the tutor and student at a mutually convenient time and place, although all students must be tutored on campus.
Tutors are advanced undergraduate, graduate, or professional school students. These members of the Yale community are invited to apply to be a tutor (please see "Applying to Be a Tutor"). Tutors in the program have a demonstrated expertise in the subject area they wish to instruct and experience communicating relevant related material.
Please note that the assignment of a tutor cannot be guaranteed when a request is received after midterm.
Applying To Be a Tutor
To apply to be a tutor, pick up an application from the Yale College Dean's Office, SSS 110. The application form requires approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies or the Director of Graduate Studies in the area the applicant wishes to tutor.
