The GUTS Academic Match Program encompasses all weekly academic tutoring. Depending on a student's needs and tutor availability a student may be placed in a study group with anywhere from 2-5 other students. In study groups students are expected to participate actively both by asking questions of the tutor and helping others in the group. Study groups consist of two to five students who are in the same class and are led by an experienced tutor.
Study groups meet for two hours a week.
Students have found that the cooperative learning environment of a study group invaluable when taking a difficult class. In other cases students can get matched one on one with a tutor. Usually this type of match occurs if the student has special needs or if the subject matter is not conducive to a group.
