in support of all undergraduate philosophy courses. The Center is staffed by tutors
who are philosophy graduate students and advanced undergraduate philosophy majors.
Tutoring services include:

- Coaching on formal and informal logic and critical thinking
- Preparation for quizzes and examinations
- Computer-assisted instruction
- General advice on writing philosophy papers and reading philosophical texts.
During off hours, the Center also serves as a social gathering place for discussion and mutual assistance among philosophy students.
The Philosophy Tutoring Center does not take appointments. Tutoring is by walk-on only, during the hours as noted on the current semester tutoring schedule [pdf].
