What does a Peer Tutor do? How will that benefit me?

Answer

Want to learn how to learn more efficiently?  How about saving more time? Then find out how to work smarter, not harder--meet with a Peer Tutor!

New students select the "New Student Mentoring" option (formally known as Peer Mentor).

What should you expect from an appointment with a New Student Mentor?

  • Show new students how to balance life’s obligations along with school to be successful in their education and show them the ropes of college life
  • Share strategies that have worked for them and help new students develop their strategies for:
    • navigating online courses
    • managing time effectively
    • effective reading, note-taking, studying, and test-taking
    • proper channels of communication

Access Peer Tutoring through your courses' Books & Tools menu or by visiting the Learning Services Homepage directly.
