About the Peer Tutoring Program:
Peer Tutoring empowers students to become effective tutors and independent learners by facilitating opportunities to access essential learning tools and resources integral to their academic success within a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
PROCEDURES
- Students will sign in/out with their student ID each time they drop in for peer tutoring.
- No appointments needed - stop in during scheduled hours for assistance with a subject that is listed on the schedule.
- Tutors may be assisting more than one student, so please be patient.
- No tutoring is available during University breaks or the week of finals - please plan ahead.
- Weather policy: If classes are canceled due to inclement weather, Tutoring Services will be closed.
EXPECTATIONS
- The tutor's main role is to facilitate learning and share study skills.
- Be prepared to learn. The tutor will not simply give you an answer.
- Please do not bring Take Home Tests to a tutoring session as tutors are not allowed to assist with tests.
- Class attendance is important. Tutors will not take the place of your instructor(s) but are willing to offer you additional resources and assistance as you work to understand specific concepts.
- Attend sessions early and often. You should consider more than one session right before a test - learning is most effective when you are exposed to material multiple times in many formats.
- Come prepared with specific questions for the tutor as they will not go over all material.
- What to bring with you (if applicable): Textbook and/or lab manual, lecture notes, old tests, calculator, periodic table chart, paper and a writing utensil, and syllabus.
- Arrive prepared for tutoring sessions, i.e., read the class material, attempt to do the homework assignment, etc.
