2024-2025 OCPT Application

Application Link: https://forms.gle/pFT22vFREWEG8Jf18

Hello prospective Organic Chemistry Peer Tutors!

We are very excited to see your interest in this program. Before filling out this application, please note that this is a one-year commitment (Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters). The minimum requirement to become a tutor is to receive a B+ or above in all of the classes in the series (including the laboratory courses). If you are currently taking Chemistry 51C/51LC, you are welcome to apply, but your acceptance into the program will be contingent on your grade.

Tutors will also be required to:
•Tutor for a minimum of 3 quarters of the academic year (following the Chemistry 51 series)
• Attend the lectures of the Chemistry 51 series of their assigned professor
• Keep up with the lecture material
• Hold 2 office hours per week (excluding Week 1)
• Hold a well-prepared 2 hour review session before each exam
• Maintain a good relationship with the professor/TA that you are tutoring for
• Plan accordingly to allot time to attend the mandatory one hour weekly meetings (tentative: Tuesdays or Thursdays between 4 PM and 6 PM) with all the tutors, coordinators, and Dr. Holton.
• Communicate with others effectively and honestly via email in a timely manner
• Be punctual
• Keep the coordinators and co-tutors well-informed (this means constantly “CC”ing and “Reply All”ing in emails)

Tutors will get 2 graded (science) units for each quarter of service, and up to 4 graded quarters are allowed; extra quarters can count as P/NP. We will be interviewing applicants during and after the time the application will be open. We will be emailing applicants with a sign-up link to schedule interview time slots.

Please contact Claire (cilleck@uci.edu), Jonathan (jonatvl1@uci.edu), or Rijul (rijulm@uci.edu) if you have any questions!
