Course-Specific Support

For core introductory quantitative courses, there are many resources available, ranging from office hours with your instructor to study groups housed in the residential colleges. You’ll find that the various formats offer differing benefits: going to a review session might give you insight into the kinds of questions to expect on a midterm exam, whereas working with a study group will allow you to focus on both concepts and problem-solving strategies. Resources include:

Review Sessions

Review sessions for introductory courses in chemistry, math, and physics are sponsored by departments and the McGraw Center. These sessions provide students with an additional resource for learning course material. In addition, course heads may organize review sessions (weekly, or before exams). Sessions may be announced in class or on the course Blackboard site.

McGraw Study Hall @Frist

Led by experienced, trained undergraduate tutors, these highly interactive tutoring sessions are designed to help students enhance their problem-solving skills and strategies so that they can apply them independently and flexibly to tackle the types of challenging problems on Princeton-level exams. Students develop these skills by collaboratively working on problem sets and talking through the concepts underlying them.

Individual Peer Tutoring

Free one-on-one peer tutoring is available for many Princeton courses--most commonly for introductory courses in the natural sciences, math, economics, and foreign languages. Individual tutoring may be especially helpful if you feel like you need help with specific parts of a course, or if your previous experience did not include preparation in an essential topic that you need for a class. The aim of tutoring is to help students develop the skills and strategies they need to independently and successfully engage in the course.
**Please note that students may work only with tutors in the Princeton undergraduate tutoring program and with Fellows in the Writing Center. Students are in violation of University regulations if they engage the services of private tutors (see Rights, Rules, Responsibilities).
