Peer Tutoring

For the Peer Tutoring schedule and up-to-date information on Peer Tutoring cancelations and changes, please go to the Peer Tutoring tab on our full website.

The Peer Tutoring Program allows students who are excelling academically to help other students by leading drop-in tutorial sessions for a variety of subject areas and programs. Tutors work with tutees to review course material and work through questions together; however, tutors do not re-teach an entire class or help tutees complete entire assignments.

How Does the Program Work?

• Two hour group, drop-in tutorial sessions run weekly
• Students can attend for the whole two hours weekly or drop-in as needed with questions
• The Peer Tutoring Schedule can be found at the Library Service Desk and as a PDF document on the right side of this page
• In addition to specific program tutoring, core subjects are also covered on the schedule such as English and Mathematics
• One-on-One/Small Group tutoring is available for students with disabilities or a demonstrated need via a referral from an Academic Counsellor in Student Services
• Peer tutors are paid $16.00 per hour for leading group tutorial sessions and $11.40 per hour for one-on-one/small group tutoring
• Training for peer tutors is provided by the Peer Tutoring Coordinator and Peer Tutoring Assistant

Students Interested in Being Peer Tutors:

• Must be in good academic standing and have at least a B-average in the subject area they wish to tutor
• Must complete an application form that includes recommendations by two professors
