DDI Tutoring Program

The Division of Diversity & Inclusion (DDI) Tutoring Program is an opportunity for students involved with DDI programs (MCAS, HEOP, CSTEP) to receive peer academic support and course guidance, with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses.

Drop-in Tutoring- Spring 2024 Schedule

Need help with that math homework? Struggling with a concept for your biology exam? Want an environment to do work with help close at hand? Then check out DDI Drop In Tutoring!

Tutoring will take place in Clark A Room 2520 – This location is often where services will be provided, but it is subject to change. Subscribe to the MCAS weekly for updates by visiting the MCAS office or emailing Robert Bonfiglio: rcbddi@rit.edu or Vaibhav Sharma (Graduate Assistant) vsmcas@rit.edu.

    Testimonial

    “DDI tutoring has been an important part of my semester. I often went to receive help with Programming and Calculus. Classes usually have 25+ students, so it is not possible for one professor to sit down and assist each one of his or her students with problems. The one-on-one interaction you get from DDI tutoring is very helpful. The tutors there are encouraging, kind, and knowledgeable. They work with you step by step explaining the problem. DDI tutoring is a great program that has successfully enhanced my learning and has greatly improved my grades.” - Sarah Clayton ‘19
