Find a tutor

Find effective and trustworthy tutors on the UT3 Directory

The UT3 Directory is a central resource for current University of Toronto students to find effective and trustworthy tutors. These tutors are independent contractors who have completed the U of T Tutor Training Program. They have already succeeded in the courses you want help in and know how best to support your learning.

The UT3 Directory, hosted by Nimbus Learning, can help you connect with tutors at mutually convenient times, support direct payments and provide an online meeting space if you’re not meeting on the St. George campus.

Free subject-specific resources continue to be provided by the University and its students, and the UT3 Directory is not meant to replace these aid centres and tutoring services. Learn more about The Centre for Learning Strategy Support’s list of St. George resources.
