Tutoring and first-year academic support
Coming soon! The Science Learning Hub is a new Faculty of Science initiative that will support first-year students as they adjust to university-level science courses.
Based in the Science Teaching Complex, the hub will offer free drop-in tutoring and study sessions focusing on core first-year science courses, including chemistry, biology and Earth sciences.
What to expect at the Science Learning Hub:
- Drop-in tutoring Monday–Friday with upper-year volunteers
- Group tutoring for specific courses during peak midterm season
- Complimentary snacks and study supplies
- A welcoming, inclusive space that supports student well-being
- Opportunities for collaborative learning and peer connection
