UMD alumni tutors excel across the university's strongest programs, including engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil, computer), business and accounting, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. Because they've completed these courses themselves, they can explain complex concepts in ways that align with how UMD teaches these subjects and what professors expect on exams.

A tutor who graduated from UMD understands the specific rigor and pacing of your program, knows which topics are emphasized most heavily, and can share strategies that worked for them in the same courses. They can also help you navigate the university's resources and study habits that align with what professors expect, giving you an insider's advantage.
