Tutoring Services
Tutoring at the Learning Center is designed to support medical, pharmacy, dental, and graduate students through collaborative, peer-based learning. We offer both small-group and large-group tutoring to help students strengthen their understanding of course content, prepare for exams and board or licensure assessments, and work through challenging or high-volume material. Tutoring is intended to complement course instruction while helping students build confidence, apply effective learning strategies, and become more independent learners.
Large-group, or open, tutoring sessions provide structured review for students enrolled in a particular course. Sessions are generally offered during evening hours and are scheduled around course and exam needs.
Large-group tutoring may include course review, exam preparation, board and licensure preparation, and review of challenging or high-volume content.
Students can view upcoming sessions on the Learning Center Outlook calendar. When invitations are sent, students should accept the calendar invitation to reserve their spot. Many sessions also include a Zoom option when available.
Small-group tutoring provides students with more individualized academic support in a collaborative setting. Groups are typically limited to approximately five students, allowing more time for questions, discussion, practice, and focused review.
Sessions may be offered in person or through Zoom depending on the needs and availability of the students and tutor.
Students interested in small-group tutoring can submit a request through the Learning Center Canvas course.
