The MIT Tutoring Program

As a free service to its students, the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science provides one-on-one peer assistance in many basic undergraduate Course 6 classes. Students may request a tutor up until halfway through the term. It may be possible to request a tutor after this point, but likelihood of finding an available tutor is very low. Once a tutor is matched with a tutee, the students arrange mutually convenient hours for tutoring.

All tutors are undergraduate or graduate students in the Department. Students who have done well in a class are strongly encouraged to tutor. Without tutors, this program just wouldn't work. Tutors are paid an hourly wage for their services ($9/hr - $11/hr, depending on year). International students on student visas with either RAships or TAships, and any student with full-time TAships are not allowed to tutor for pay in this program. Students may tutor for as few as two hours a week, or for as many as twelve hours.

Please remember that this program supports only the basic undergraduate Course VI classes, such as the core 6.00x's and the header subjects. We do not guarantee support for lab subjects.
