Feeling Overwhelmed?

We know that Stanford can be a lot. We're here to help you strategize how to stay on top of it all and get the most out of your summer.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support students for the Stanford Summer Quarter curriculum. Summer tutoring does not offer SAT, ACT, GRE, or other standardized test tutoring.

Stanford matriculated students should contact their respective graduate and undergraduate advisors for Summer Quarter advising.
