What is Tutoring?

A peer tutor is a student who:

• Possesses experience and knowledge in a subject area, exceptional study skills, and is able to use that experience and knowledge to guide others.  
  
  
• Teaches other students how to learn and creates a comfortable, supportive atmosphere for practicing those skills.

Tutors will help you:

• Model appropriate learning strategies/study skills
  
  
• Interpret and clarify specific topic concepts
  
  
• Identify other resources such as prerequisite texts and courses.
  
  
• Review past exams to improve preparation for future exams. 

 Tutors will not be able to:

• Help students cram for tests
  
  
• Correct or help with graded assignments
  
  
• Reenact the professor's lecture
  
  
• Provide remediation for students who do not have the appropriate background for the course in which they are enrolled
