Learning Center & Tutoring

Peer Tutoring

A peer tutor is another student who has excelled in the course they assist with, and who has been recommended by a faculty member. These students receive training through the Learning Center, so they are a great resource for help.

In addition to helping you with the assignments and projects for your class, they can also offer study tips and information about how to be successful.

Make, reschedule, or cancel an appointment

Make an appointment or just stop by, in-person or virtually

Whether you planned ahead or realized at the last minute that you have a question, your peers are here to help!

They will most likely be on campus in the Learning Center during their hours. The Learning Center is on the second floor of the Library Building. Some may be in other locations. When you sign up, you will see where you will meet. To see a tutor in person, you can drop in or schedule an appointment.

Zoom is available If you’d rather meet virtually. You can make an appointment or just drop in.

FAQs

Click each item below to see content

What if the class I need assistance in isn't listed here?

If you need help in a class not listed here, please make an appointment with Kathryn Klopfleisch, the Learning Center director.

Or, you can get online help from tutor.com. Click on the button below to lot in and get help.

What if I want help when a tutor isn’t available?

If you are studying late at night, on a holiday or a weekend, you can still get help.

Go to tutor.com and follow the instructions.

What else can my peers help me with?

You probably wanted to get help you with a specific assignment or project, but your peers can help you get connected to campus.

They have probably had the class you are taking and can provide you with advice about being successful in that class—including how to use the instructor’s D2L site, how to plan out projects, and what questions to ask your instructor.

They are also successful students—they have general study tips and knowledge of campus resources like Counseling and Advising, the Food Shelf, the Veteran’s Center, and Financial Aid. They are probably also involved in student clubs and would be happy to talk about their experiences.

If you have questions about a resource on campus, ask!

How should I prepare fo my meeting?

The tips below will help you make the most of your visit with a peer tutor:

  • Peer tutors might work with multiple students (both in person and online) at one time. Please be patient if your tutor is working with other students.
  • Make sure to attend class. Peer tutors cannot provide you with information from lectures and class activities. You need to make sure you attend your classes and not expect that participating in tutoring will substitute for class.
  • Bring your textbook. If your textbook is online, please bring a computer, or have it up on your phone. If you don’t have a device, and you meet your tutor in person, you can log into one of our computers using your StarID and password.
  • Bring study sheets, notes from class, Power Points—anything you use as a reference to do your homework. If you have a laptop or other device, bring it. (We have outlets in our tables.) If you don’t have a device to bring, you can use your StarID and password to log into one of our computers.
  • Attempt the problems or homework first. Our tutors will be more helpful if they can see the work you have done so far so they can “see” your thought process.
  • Be prepared to get study help. While our tutors love to help students, they also love to see you master the class on your own. To do that, you might need to change how you study, approach problems and take notes. Be ready to answer questions about how you study and to get advice about how to study more effectively.
  • If you get virtual tutoring: you will meet with your tutor over Zoom. If you know how to share your screen and if you have your camera on during your session, your tutoring will go more smoothly. Also, please locate any virtual documents you might need before your tutoring session so you don’t spend tutoring time looking for the documents you need.
