Peer Tutoring

A tutor helps you with material in a specific course.  Each session looks different depending on your goals, but a tutor can guide you through 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.

Keep an eye out for a welcome email from your tutor before your first appointment with details on your upcoming session.  Communicating your questions, course or topic information, and goals with your tutor helps them prepare for your session.

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.

You can meet with a tutor once or twice during a semester, or you can set up recurring weekly appointments.  Our tutors are here to provide whatever amount of support you need.

Appointments must be cancelled in Navigate at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time. To cancel a previously scheduled appointment, log into the Navigate app or website, click on your upcoming appointments, select Cancel My Attendance, and follow the on-screen directions. Email your tutor if you need to cancel an appointment less than 24 hours before the scheduled time.

Not a problem! Please contact Amy Root at rootar@uwec.edu or stop by our office in Centennial 2104 and we'll work with you to find an alternative time.
