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: 

Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm in the Student Success Center (Centennial 2104)
Monday - Friday 4pm - 8pm in McIntyre Library (2nd floor, 2003A)
Sunday 11am - 8pm in McIntyre Library (2nd floor, 2003A)
