The PTC will be open for Summer 2024 beginning Monday, May 20.

The Polytechnic Tutoring Center is located at 2 MetroTech Center, Room 983.

We have a limited number of TI-30X calculators to lend out with an ID.  We also have study spaces in the PTC for self-study during our hours of operation.

We are a drop-in tutoring center.  This means that you do not need an appointment to speak with a tutor. Please check the schedule grids below for times available for the courses.  Times are subject to change based on tutor availability. All times listed are Eastern Daylight Saving Time.  For questions regarding our services, you can call us at 646-997-3425 or email us at polytechnictutoring@nyu.edu

For all writing services, we encourage you to visit the Tandon Writing Center, offered by NYU's Expository Writing Program, where you can work closely with a faculty consultant or experienced undergraduate peer tutor. You can bring with you any piece of writing (except for exams) from an essay to a lab report, at any stage of the writing process. For more information, please see EWP's Writing Center information page, and to make an appointment, please click here.

The best tutoring occurs when the tutor doesn’t necessarily know the answer. Rather, modeling how to find an answer (instead of just explaining how to do a problem) is one of the best long-term positive outcomes of tutoring.
