Peer Math Tutoring
SUMO works with Stanford's math department to provide peer tutoring services for Math 18, 19, 20, 21, 51, 52, 53, 61CM/DM, 62CM/DM, 63CM/DM, and 104. The peer tutors are available to answer any questions you have about the material and homework in these classes.
Peer tutoring hours are drop-in; just show up and our tutors will help you out. Feel free to come and work on your homework even if you don't have any specific questions. Many students work on their homework during tutoring, asking questions if they encounter difficulties.

Becoming a Tutor
We hire new tutors at the start of fall, winter, and spring quarter of each academic year (if there are available positions). Tutors should at least be proficient in Math 18-51, although proficiency in Math 52-104 or Math 61-63 are also preferred.
If there are any open positions for the quarter, the application for new tutors will be sent to the SUMO mailing list.
