Tutoring Resources
Having trouble with your PHY or AST courses? Several campus and student organized resources are available offering tutoring assistance for both lower and upper division physics courses:
Drop-in tutoring sessions and math/science workshops at the Academic Success Center
Included among the many services offered at the Academic Success Center.
ASC Math and Science Workshops
Free tutoring sessions in the Physics Study Room
Organized and managed by the Physics Club of UC Davis, free tutoring assistance for most lower division PHY courses can be found in the Physics Study Room (Physics Bldg. room 388).
A schedule of the current tutoring sessions can be found HERE
Paid tutoring services
Offered primarily by our graduate students. Private, hourly tutoring services are available on a pay-per-hour basis offering assistance with physics courses in addition to other STEM topics.

The H-Bar
A Physics Discussion Space and Snack Bar
H-Bar Homework Help Sessions
The physics department is continuing an activity called the "H(elp)-Bar" which will serve as a physics discussion space. The H-Bar will be a safe, non-judgmental and non-competitive space for physics students to receive help with their coursework from their peers and graduate student volunteers.
H-Bar Zoom Meeting Information
There will be upper division course TAs present according to the below schedule, and there will be breakout rooms dedicated to questions related to the course they TA. The main room will be used for general discussion that does not pertain to a specific course, such as how to find research, apply to REU programs, graduate student life, or whatever physics-related topic comes up. Students can also use the platform to work on their homework or projects together even if you do not specifically need help from the TA. Additional breakout rooms can be added to accommodate this or other discussions that pop up.
Questions can be directed to the H-Bar TA, Morgan Walker, at mawwalker@ucdavis.edu
For the Zoom link, check your UC Davis email for a message about H-Bar, your course Canvas sites, or email Morgan Walker at mawwalker@ucdavis.edu.
