DDI Tutoring Program

The Division of Diversity & Inclusion (DDI) Tutoring Program is an opportunity for students involved with DDI programs to receive academic support and course guidance from their peers those students who are also involved with DDI programs.

DDI Tutoring provides academic tutoring to students participating in DDI support unit programs (MCAS, HEOP, FSP, CSTEP, McNair) in any subject area, but particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses and those courses that traditionally challenge the populations of students who participate in DDI programs. Peer-to-peer tutoring is a best practice approach for helping improve retention and graduation rates for underserved students.

Drop-in Tutoring- Spring 2023 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!

WE'RE MOVING! Tutoring will now 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.

The courses listed here are general offerings. We might be able to accommodate other questions or course material. Feel free to stop by or send an email to inquire about your specific question. Offerings are liable to change based on our student staff’s experience from semester to semester.

The MCAS Hotspot hours are from 2pm to 7pm, Monday through Thursday.

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
