The service will be available from week 2 (week commencing July 31) until the end of Stuvac with the exception of the mid-semester break (week 8) and public holidays.
MESH tutors will be available on the indicated days. Times may change due unforeseen circumstances.

Introducing "I Don 't Get It", an online maths and stats help forum. Post your maths or stats related problem (along with some details of where you've gotten with it) as a new Post in the forum and a member of the MESH team or one of your fellow students can help with the next steps. If you feel shy about asking questions, you can post anonymously to other students. To sign up or sign in to I Don 't Get It go to this page.
