Tutoring Services

Looking for a little extra help with your classes? 

The Academic Skills Center offers weekly tutoring for all students in many 100 and 200 level courses. These one-on-one and small group tutor sessions allow students to deepen their content knowledge by practicing the material with a knowledgeable peer. Tutoring is free for students, and our tutors will work with you to find a time that fits your schedule. 

See below for information about how to schedule, what to expect, and meet our tutors!

    What to expect from peer tutoring

    Tutoring will help you with material in specific courses including extra practice, preparing for tests, understanding notes/readings, and clarifying concepts from class.  Tutoring is more than just homework help; your tutor will help you be successful in the class and help you develop skills you can apply elsewhere. 

    Tutoring sessions typically last 45 minutes to 1 hour, but there is flexibility based on your needs and your tutor's schedule.  After you have signed up for a tutoring session, keep an eye on your email!  Your tutor will email you to introduce themselves, tell you where to meet, and ask what you want to accomplish during your session.  Having a clear goal in mind or a specific set of questions will help make your session as productive as possible.

    General locations and hours for Peer Tutoring and Peer Academic Coaching are as follows: 

    Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm in the Student Success Center (CEN 2104)
    Monday - Friday 4pm - 8pm in McIntyre Library (2nd floor, 2003A)
