Other tutoring options
UTK Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center (ASC) offers free academic support to all undergraduate students at UT. One way we support students is through course-specific peer support in the Vol Study Center, where you can attend SI sessions or meet one-on-one with a Peer Learning Assistant (PLA). These peer resources can help you build effective strategies and answer important questions to gain confidence in challenging courses. The ASC also provides Academic Coaching and Success Workshops to help you strengthen study skills, set goals, and develop strategies for success both in and out of the classroom. You can connect with our resources on our website. [link to website: https://studentsuccess.utk.edu/academicsuccess/]
Private Tutors
For anyone -UT student or not- looking for private, 1-on-1, for-pay tutoring, the UT Math Department has a contact list of self-identified math tutors. This list is kept as a courtesy and is not an endorsement of these tutors. The Math Department is in no way involved with or responsible for any interactions between you and the tutors on the list.
The UT Math Department Private Tutor list contains a combination of graduate students, faculty, and retired faculty (approximately 25 at the time this document originated).
To request a private tutor (for pay), send an email to pmt@listserv.utk.edu. In the email please include the following information:
- Name
- Best way to contact (email/ phone)
- Specific math (algebra, Math 119….)
- When tutoring needs to start (if we are in the middle of finals, that may affect tutor availability)
- How long (next 2 years, next 2 months)
- How frequent (3 times a week, 7 times a week)
- Duration (30 minutes, 3 hours)
- Budget range (tutors generally charge a per-hour rate)
Tutors who are available/interested will respond to your email. You will then work out the details of when, where, what fee, etc., on an individual basis with that tutor. These tutors are hired by you on an individual basis and are not contracted through the math department.
