This study describes the Tutoring Program in Biochemistry (TutBQI) at the Federal University of Viçosa, an extracurricular activity designed to complement the traditional lectures in the Fundamentals of Biochemistry course (BQI 100). Ten years after the TutBQI implementation, we reported its positive impacts on the student's performance verified by the survey of the failure rates and average grades in BQI100. Limitations of the program are also presented.
