This course has been designed to provide training for individuals who will work as peer tutors on
campus and online. It focuses on tutoring principles found universal to effective tutoring across different
disciplines and settings. Because these principles are flexible, each tutor will be applying them in practice to
his or her own major, exploring and adapting strategies as they suit specific tutoring situations. At the
completion of the course, tutors will have basic knowledge of tutoring skills and techniques needed to work with
students in our diverse campus environment. This is an eight week hybrid course: weeks 1, 4, and 8 on campus, and
weeks 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 online.
Prerequisites
A GPA of 3.0 or better; a referral or recommendation from at least one faculty member; availability of
two-hour blocks of time to schedule tutoring per week for a total of 16 hours per semester for two consecutive
semesters following course completion.
