Stony Brook University alumni tutors excel across the university's strongest programs, including STEM fields like physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering, as well as life sciences and computer science.

Your first session is designed to establish rapport and assess your current understanding. The tutor will discuss your academic goals, review any specific coursework or assignments you're working on, and identify areas where you need the most support.
