A staff of peer tutors is hired to work with small groups of students who meet two or three times a week throughout the semester. Tutoring sessions are held Monday through Friday during the day or evening and are conducted in a classroom setting.
Tutor groups consist of students who are in the same course and have the same instructor.
By working together, students learn how to process course material as well as sharpen their reasoning and questioning skills. Peer tutors have often experienced the same difficulties and can help you through the learning process. Students meet with the same peer tutor throughout the semester which provides continuity and consistency to the assistance given. Tutors can help you develop and improve your study skills and learning strategies. Tutoring can help improve your self-confidence with regard to the course material and academic capabilities in general.
