How can the MaSH Center help me?

If you're worried about succeeding in college-level math and science classes or just want to maintain “A's”, you're not alone. Our tutors can help:

1. answer questions
2. review material for quizzes and tests
3. provide test preparation and test taking tips
4. establish short and long term study goals
5. review exams from the previous semesters.

Our tutors can help you with your homework assignments, lab reports and with using graphics calculators. We also have copies of old exams and review sheets for some classes for your use.

How do I use the services in the MaSH Center?

The MaSH Center provides tutoring on a drop-in basis which means all you need to do is show up when the Center is open and a tutor will be waiting to assist you individually or in a small group.

If you need help beyond Math 200, please see the schedule for a list of when our tutors, who have taken these higher level math courses, can help you.

During tutoring sessions, you may want to ask questions or discuss exams. Whatever it is, you decide what you want to work on. We seek to help you develop confidence in your ability to discover the answers on your own.

MaSH
Free tutoring is offered to all Cal Poly students enrolled in select introductory math and science courses offered by the College of Science. All students who want to strengthen their abilities to think critically and independently, read analytically, reason quantitatively, and study effectively while mastering course materials are encouraged to participate. Our tutors are successful upper division students trained to challenge and support students academically and to serve as role models, listening to and talking with tutees about their academic and personal lives.

The MaSH unit builds on the premise that critical thinking and intellectual independence are developed through questioning and dialogue. Most of our tutoring takes place either one-on-one or in small groups of three to five students. This setting fosters discussion and allows students to listen to, grapple with, and articulate new and different perspectives. It enables students to work collaboratively, helping them to see that they can rely on classmates as well as tutors.
