AATC Physics

AATC Drop-in Tutoring will be closed from November 28 through December 1 for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Physics 7 and 9

AATC Tutors and Specialists provide support for students enrolled in both the PHY7 and PHY9 series during fall, winter, spring, and summer sessions.

You have options.

Individual appointments are scheduled on OASIS Scheduler and meet on Zoom.
Drop-in tutoring is held in-person and no appointment is necessary. You will be seated at tables with other students in your class with tutors rotating around the space to answer questions. Drop-in tutoring takes place in the lower level of Shields Library beginning October 6 for fall 2024.
Workshops, Classes and Content Reviews meet weekly to go over the content from lecture and give an opportunity to practice and ask questions. Content Reviews are led by experienced undergraduate students and workshops and classes are led by professional staff Specialists.
