About

We're a student-led, non-profit team aiming to help connect students to tutoring opportunities as well as academic support resources.

We work to remove any barriers that keep students from pursuing their academic goals, including a limit of resources, financial situations or shame.

We work to make knowledge shared and accessible to everyone. We work to promote the spirit of collaboration and service among students.

We pledge that we will not share or take advantage of any personal information except when matching tutors and tutees and do our best job to foster a safe, supportive learning community.

Why OpenNotes?

I'm scared to ask my professor questions

Totally okay! Talking to professors can be stressful for us students sometimes. Reaching out to peer tutors would be much easier.

I have questions and I want to ask my classmates/friends...But I'm worried that I might bother them.

Our tutors are completely voluntary and willing to dedicate their time within the allocated time to help their peers!

I'm too shy to ask questions in person.

We got you! You can list your preference of asking questions through chat online in our form, and tutors will offer you help in the ways you both prefer. Any style of learning is great if it suits you!

I want to form study groups with my classmates to review for exams together, but I don't know who has the same need as me.

Join our Slack workspace! You can ask in our study group channel, and those who are interested will reply to your message.

I want to be a tutor to help my peers, reinforce my knowledge and also gain teaching skills, but the tutoring center has no job opening.

That's awsome twin! You can be a peer tutor here. Any student in need in our college will be able to find you, and trust me, your help can make a big difference!
