Other Ways We Support Students
Peer Tutoring - Students Helping Students
Peer tutoring is one-to-one academic support for students who are experiencing difficulty with specific parts of their course. It is intended to help students achieve a better understanding of course material. Students who require tutoring are matched with a registered peer tutor. Students who excel in their course can register to be a paid Peer Tutor. Peer Tutors receive valuable employment experience while working around their class schedule.
