CCNY Math and Physics Tutoring Center

SUMMER 2020 TUTORING STARTS JUNE 8th During the summer we will have tutors available from 12:00pm to 5:00pm Mondays to Thursdays. You will not need to make an appointment in advance - whenever you are ready to speak to a tutor, just send an email to me, Andy Trafford ([email protected]), including your full name, your EMPLID, the course number, and a brief description of what you need help with. I will see which tutors are available and have someone contact you straig...ht away. We like to conduct tutoring sessions using GoBoard, which is a free browser-based videoconferencing tool that includes shared whiteboard functionality. This obviously works best on a PC, a MAC, or an iPad. It does not work on Android devices. If you cannot use GoBoard, we can still tutor you using Zoom, Skype, Hangouts or even just exchanged email messages. Note: We like to be able to see you during a tutoring session - video gives us important feedback that we can't get from voice alone. So we *prefer* you to keep your camera on, but it is by no means mandatory. If you're having a bad hair day, or have any other reason not to be seen, just turn the camera off.

Remember when the week before finals used to look like this??

OK, so CCNY has now gone "essential personnel only". Math and Physics tutors are not "essential". Important, yes, but not essential :) Tutoring will now all be online. No appointments necessary - we are still operating on a 'drop-in' model. The difference being that now 'drop-in' means sending me an email ( [email protected] ) to let me know you want help. Stay safe out there, and take care of the important stuff first. And once that's done, we'll still be here to help you.

There will be no classes between March 12th and March 18th. But the Tutoring Center will be OPEN!!! The plan is to stay open until everything goes online on March 19th. That's the plan as of now. Things may change in a heartbeat...

Today in the Tutoring Center, because it's Valentines Day and everyone wants more kisses...
