Peer Educators receive a stipend for the training in which they participate. In order to qualify, students must have 3.0 cumulative grade average and a 3.0 grade from the course for which they will be a Peer Educator. A Peer Educator appointment must also be approved by the professor of the Peer Educator course and by The Learning Center. This process begins early Spring Quarter for courses in the following year. With the guidance of The Learning Center staff, Peer Tutors work to facilitate learning for undergraduates in specific courses or disciplines.
Tutors can choose a variety of formats in which to work.
Study Group Tutoring involves facilitating weekly small group sessions which are course specific. In Tutoring involves one to one or small group tutoring for students in discipline specific sessions. Many tutors choose to be involved in more than one format. Peer Tutors are paid for their training, preparation and tutoring. In some majors, tutors can choose to receive Independent Study credit instead of pay.
