Any student enrolled in a course supported by the Schools of Science & Technology and Environmental & Rural Science, or any student enrolled in a targeted science or maths unit for ANY UNE course ( eg. STEM education, or nursing). Our team of tutors is growing, and we currently support many core 100 level units across 10 STEM disciplines (eg. Chemistry, Biology, Maths/ QMER, Foundations in Science, Physics, Human Physiology and Science for nursing). We also can support 200 level units, for Maths Stats/ Zoology, Ecology, Geoscience, and we will be building our team to support students in GIS units, Computer Science, and Biomedical Science in 2024. Current units offered: Students can ask any question regarding supported disciplines and units. Our tutors regularly liaise with unit coordinators for up to date themes, learning materials and assessment requirements. Our Tutors can help fill in any leanring gaps, and provide different methods of explanation from the units. The tutors in the Science Learning Hub have a minimum bachelor’s qualification in the discipline of support, and many will be assisting in unit practicals and tutorials. They all have a great rapport with students and can tailor learning sessions to individual or small group needs. Bookings are available at many times when the tutors are available, including evenings. We also offer targeted drop-in sessions (both on campus and online) for some units around major assessment deadlines. Between T2, 2022 and the end of T2, 2023 we have had over 1500 visits and assisted around 450 individual students from across 50 courses UNE wide.
