The Tutorial Centre is very welcoming and supportive. Not only have my math/physics skills improved, but it also helped me regain my confidence and love for learning! The tutors are all very patient, knowledgeable and friendly.
The centre helped me greatly, especially when I fell behind in my classes due to extenuating factors. Having a place where students can get help from other students allows for the learning process the flourish for all, while also allowing for numerous friendships to flourish.
The Physics Tutorial Centre turned my dread for organic chemistry into a subject I can do in my sleep. The tutors provided clear explanations and practical examples that made learning effective yet enjoyable. I can’t thank them enough, they helped me finish in the top 15% of the class!
