Meet the tutors

We are very excited to teach you this summer! Please contact course staff if you have any logistical questions or concerns. Otherwise feel free to email any of the staff members below.

Course tutors host CSM mentoring sections and office hours, as well as help with other aspects of the course such as parties and Piazza support. Certain Tutors have access to sensitive information, and so are listed first. A Tutor with the "cs61a@" tag has access to the cs61a@berkeley.edu inbox, and so will see anything that goes through that email.
