Peer tutoring

Peer tutoring is provided in a group setting for most basic science courses. Small and large-group tutoring is offered based on student need and tutor availability.

Who are the Peer Tutors?

Peer tutors are upper-level students who have scored well in the courses for which they provide tutoring, and they have been vetted by the faculty. Peer tutors can be either paid or volunteer student employees.

How can I sign-up for Peer Tutoring?

Open (large group) tutoring sessions are scheduled during evening hours and typically occur on a weekly basis, respective to the course exam schedules. With the rare exception, students can join tutoring sessions remotely via their institutional online education (Zoom) accounts. Students should view the Learning Center Outlook calendar to see the tutoring schedule.  They will receive an invitation to each session and should “accept” it to reserve their spot.

Small Group tutoring sessions are offered for students desiring more individualized assistance.  Tutoring small groups are typically limited to five students and are offered via Zoom or in-person, depending on the mutual convenience of the students and tutor.

To utilize this resource, please:

• Log-in or locate the Learning Center site in Canvas
• Add “Learning Center” to your Outlook calendar to view all of the large group (open) tutoring sessions and workshops for all cohorts. The Zoom link is located within each calendar entry.
• To request access to small group tutoring, please follow the steps provided on this Canvas page.
