The STEM Center provides assistance to the UC Merced undergraduate students through a variety of services aimed at supporting academics and learning.
Our History
Tutoring sessions are discipline-specific and occur at various campus location (see table on the previous page). Help is provided on walk-in basis and no appointments are necessary. Tutoring sessions could be One-on-One or Small Group, based on demand.
Our Tutors
STEM Tutoring Hub peer-tutors are Math, Science and Engineering majors and are selected based on their excellent academic achievements (3.0 and above GPA and at least a B+ in the course they tutor) and strong dedication to the program’s goals. At the beginning of each semester, tutors participate in a mandatory training where tutor guidelines are discussed. Using evidence-based approach, peer-tutors provide clear explanation on studied concepts, assist students with their homework assignments, exam preparation, and lab reports. Please note: our peer-tutors will assist you with your work - but will not do it for you.
