The CLC provides free one-to-one online tutoring sessions and group sessions with an undergraduate peer who has excelled in computing modules. Whether you're struggling with programming, algorithms, databases, or any other subject, our peer tutors are here to provide tailored assistance. You can setup a session at a time that works best for you.
It is essential that you understand that tutors will not complete any aspect of your labs or assessment for you. They are there to assist you in understanding the topics required to complete your labs/assessments. You must bring your notes and assessments with you to the online sessions.
Tutors will be undergraduate, or postgraduate students, in TU Dublin.
Competitions and challenges for students who are looking to take their Computing skills to the next level will be posted here throughout the academic year.
Please contact the clc@tudublin.ie if you require advanced academic challenges.
