caltech Y tutoring programs
Para ver esta pagina en Español.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caltech Y now offers two online tutoring programs to support public school students: The Rise Program and the Y-Tutor Program. Both programs focus on individualized math and science tutoring. All tutoring is provided by Caltech undergraduate and graduate students. The programs are designed to help students gain greater competency in math foundations, improve skills in math and science and prepare students for college-level math and science.
Our programs currently have a one-to-one tutor to student ratio. Tutors offer academic tutoring as well as mentoring. A typical session can range from homework help or studying for a class test to preparing for the math portion of the SAT or ACT.
Please use the guide below in deciding which program is best for you.
