Resources

General resources for university students.

1

Student Union Tutoring

Tutors can range from undergraduate students, graduate students, or PhD students.

Tip: Choose a tutor in the low-to-medium price range and experiment with different people. A higher price range does not always mean the highest quality tutoring.

2

Accessible Textbooks

Free Textbooks

Tip: Never pay full price for a textbook. Go to the Wikipedia link under the Free Textbooks button, and click any of the URLs listed there. Another alternative is using discounted textbooks from previous students: Used Book Registry

Videos and Outreach

We asked Filipino-Canadian high school students whether they’re planning to go

to post-secondary school and what’s driving their decision.

We also chatted with successful Filipino-Canadian graduates to hear their stories: why they chose post-secondary school, what their experience was really like, and the key lessons they took along the way.
