Academic Tutoring Center

The Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Department at the University of Florida has developed an Academic Tutoring Center (ATC), which is centered on peer tutoring in the CISE major courses and all programming languages taught by the CISE Department. Peer tutoring can offer benefits to both tutors and students seeking help. The challenge of explaining complex ideas to a fellow student reinforces the tutor's knowledge of a subject, while the comfortable peer relationship creates a relaxed learning opportunity for students who are having difficulties.

Questions should be emailed to the undergraduate advisors.
