Science & Math Peer Tutoring

Science & Math Peer Tutoring is the first peer education program at SFU linked to specific academic subjects. The program is a collaboration between faculty in the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics & Physics and the SFU Peer Education program. Volunteer peer tutors provide support for select science and math classes on a drop-in basis.

2021 Science & Math Peer Tutoring WILL Begin the WEEK of JanuARY 18th

The tutoring will be held online in the main BB Collaborate Course Room in the Science and Math Peer Tutoring Canvas course, to enroll in this course please go to:  https://canvas.sfu.ca/enroll/78YR3M

Peer Tutoring in Physics began in the fall of 2014 with four undergraduate tutors. These four students, who were majoring in MBB, Chemistry and Biomedical Physiology, provided tutoring for PHYS 101 & 102, both Physics for the Life Sciences courses. The same four tutors returned for fall 2015. In spring 2016, the program expanded to include tutoring for courses in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics.

Science & Math peer tutors volunteer 5 hours a week for 12 weeks during the fall and spring semesters. The courses they tutor include:

• BISC 202
• MATH 150, 154 and 157
• CHEM 110, 121, and 281/2/3
• PHYS 100, 101/102, and 120/121
  

Science & Math Peer Tutoring is part of the SFU Peer Education Program. More information can be found here: https://www.sfu.ca/students/get-involved/groups/peer-education.html
