Peer-led Tutoring

The Peer-led Tutoring Program supports select foundational STEM, quantitative social sciences, and language courses.

The Peer-led Tutoring Program aims to provide small peer learning groups that foster a deepening of students' understanding of course content. To achieve this goal, tutors strive to create inclusive learning communities that meet the needs of students through tailored lesson plans, group activities (i.e., group problem-solving), and peer feedback.

Students are encouraged to submit requests for group tutoring during the Open Access period beginning Monday, September 15, through 11:59 PM Wednesday, September 17.

  • Students are encouraged to submit requests for tutoring at any time during Open Access. The time of submission does not guarantee immediate placement in a tutoring group.

Seat and waitlist notifications: Thursday, September 18

Last Day to Request Tutoring
The Tutoring Program does not support all courses. Tutoring is a weekly commitment and tutees are expected to attend group sessions every week. The Tutoring Program does not support private tutoring. Due to the demand for tutoring, students are automatically dropped after two unexcused absences. Students on the waitlist will receive an email when a seat is available.
