Einstein Corner

Einstein Corner provides Purchase College students with free tutoring assistance in such areas as mathematics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Tutors undergo a rigorous review process to ensure that they are qualified. Psychology tutors can be found in the Learning Center. Unfortunately, we do not offer tutors for every class. If your class does not have a tutor, please check out Thinking Storm on Brightspace for support, or seek assistance from the professor of the class during their office hours. Some classes also have learning assistants who may be able to provide support, as well.

To make sure the tutors are available to help as many students as possible, students can only book a tutor for up to 45 minutes per session, once a week. If a tutor has limited availability, they may tutor small groups of students at the same time.

Schedule an appointment

To book an appointment with an Einstein Corner tutor, please click on the link above, or navigate to the “Current Students” tab on the Purchase College homepage and select “Starfish” under Quick Links. While the Einstein Corner offers tutoring exclusively for math and science courses, free tutoring for other subjects is available at the Learning Center (which is located in the library),  and information on tutoring for Economics classes can be found on the Purchase Economics webpage.

Most Einstein Corner tutors are available for virtual one-on-one sessions via Zoom or in-person sessions, which are held in NS 3046. Please note when booking your appointment in Starfish whether it is in person or online.
