High school Students' FAQs:

Will I be tutored by different tutors each week? No, you will have the same NYU student for at least a semester, unless either the tutor or student finds a reason to change.

What can I get help with? Mostly anything! To get the best help, we suggest that you tell your tutor which topics within the specific subjects  you would like help with. We also suggest that you tell them the specifics of the type of help you need, which includes, but is not limited to: 

• Asking them to teach you theoretical concepts, like a mini-lecture;

• Already bringing theoretical questions about a topic to them;

• Asking you for help on an assigned list of exercises;

  • Please note, in this scenario, they cannot do the assignment for you. What your tutor will do is help you with the content from which these excersises come from and/or work with other problems that you will not submit.

• Asking them to find/create new exercises for you.

Our tutors are never allowed to do any assignments for you, which include, but are not limited to, exams, homework and quizzes.

How can I ensure that my tutor is from NYU? We are asking that our tutors reach out to their students using their NYU email, i.e. an email ending in @nyu.edu.

I am a parent or guardian of a high school student. Can I sign up with my email? Yes! Any email is allowed as long as the student will be able to communicate with their NYU tutor.

What do I do if I have any problems with my tutor? We have had extremely low rates of problems in the program so far, but if anything arises, please reach out to SUNS at nyusuns@gmail.com; describe the issue and we will work closely with you to resolve it. 

If you still have questions that haven't been answered here, feel free to reach out to nyusuns@gmail.com at any time with any questions and/or problems that you might be having.

NYU is committed to building a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive community—both in New York City and throughout the world. We at SUNS, therefore, require that each of our tutors abide by all of NYU's Policies and Guidelines. 

If at any time you as a student feel that an NYU student has violated those policies contact nyusuns@gmail.com immediately and we will work with you from there.
