The Olin Undergraduate Programs office is here to support you on your academic journey while at WashU. Through our office, we offer Olin Tutoring which is a free one-on-one tutoring service provided for several of our core business classes.
WashU also has a wide array of resources geared for your academic success from offices like The Learning Center, The Writing Center, The Speaking Studio, and Beta Alpha Psi (tutoring for ACCT 2610 and 2620).
Olin Tutoring
Olin Business School provides opportunities for students to connect with fellow students to receive one-on-one peer tutoring for a number of introductory-level courses.
Olin tutoring is meant to be utilized in conjunction with attendance in instructor/TA office hours, supplemental instruction sessions, and regular communication with faculty/TAs. Tutoring is not meant to replace these resources and students are encouraged to utilize all resources available to them on campus.
Currently, we offer tutoring for the following courses:
- ACCT 2610
- ACCT 2620
- DAT 120
- DAT 121
- MGT 100
- MEC 290
If you are seeking assistance with a course not listed here, please contact your instructor.
Note: Requests for tutors will open beginning week 3 of the fall and spring semesters.
If you are interested in working with a tutor, please submit a Tutor Request Form. If you have any questions about the process, please contact Shawn Brodie (brodie@wustl.edu).
