The transition from high school to college is incredibly challenging. As students with first-hand experience of this challenge, we want to help students navigate the complex, yet wonderful world of UW.
To do this, we guide and coach underclassmen pursuing Life and Health Sciences at the University of Washington, supporting them in their journey into a successful academic career.

When you join, a tutor should be present to assist you. Tutors will have a tutor designation in their Zoom name. If multiple students are present in the meeting, then the tutor might move you into a "breakout" room so that they can assist you more individually or encourage you to work with other students in your class. If no tutors are present in the meeting, then it is likely all tutors have moved into breakout rooms to assist other students. Please wait a few minutes for a tutor to become available.
TriBeta runs a free intro bio (BIOL 180/200/220) tutoring service / study lounge located in the 4th floor lounge of Hitchcock, the building where intro bio labs are held. Experienced students are present to answer your questions while you take advantage of free snacks and a comfortable environment. It's a great place to make a habit of working in.
