Mathematics Tutoring Labs
The Department of Mathematical Sciences administers two separate mathematics tutoring labs for undergraduate students currently enrolled in mathematics classes. The labs are located in SAC 521 on the Lincoln Park Campus (in the Mathematical Sciences office suite), and in DePaul Center, Suite 6100, Rooms 6106 and 6107 on the Loop Campus.
Tutoring is offered on a drop-in basis between Weeks 2-10 of each academic term. Limited tutoring may also be available during finals week.
The tutoring labs are staffed by advanced undergraduate mathematics majors. If you would like to apply to work in the tutoring labs, please complete the Tutor/Grader Application Form.

The following online resources are available for students who are enrolled, or intend to enroll, in math courses leading up to and including calculus. These free practice materials can be used by students to practice for courses they are currently taking, or to prepare for courses they will take in the future.
This course emphasizes work with numbers of ordinary arithmetic, use of a large variety of practical problems and situations from basic sciences as motivation.
