What it means to be a Tutor
Tutors help students with their many CS courses that deal with Java programming, data structures, algorithms, computer systems, C programming, or object-oriented design. The CS Tutoring Center functions as a "study hall" environment, where students can come in study and obtain assistance from the Tutors, and students there are encouraged to work in peer groups to assist each other.
