Private Tutors

  The Q Center keeps the following short list of private tutors in Math, Physics Chemistry & Statistics.  Students may also contact the individual departments.

Disclaimer This list of private tutors is maintained by the Q Center in cooperation with other units at UConn as a service for students. We make no recommendations, nor do we screen private tutors in any way. Neither the Q Center nor the University accepts responsibility for any problems that might arise between private tutors and their students.
