The Peer Tutoring program recognizes the need for tutorial help regardless of the grade a student is receiving at the present time and is designed to help students to achieve their goals and college success. It is primarily geared toward students who are seeking help with coursework outside the subject areas covered by the STEM Center and Writing Center staff, but is also open to students who have made use of these resources and would benefit from more dedicated tutoring.
