Peer Tutoring
Holman Success Center (HSC) provides free one-on-one tutoring for many
undergraduate level courses. Although great effort is made to fill
tutor requests, Holman Success Center cannot guarantee a tutor for all courses. Tutors are available to help you stay ahead and succeed in
college classes. Read the Peer Tutoring FAQ for
more information.
What to expect in a
tutor session:
- You will schedule tutoring appointments in advance with
your tutor, meet regularly at the same time and place for tutoring, and
receive tutoring from 45 minutes to one hour, up to twice a week.
- Sessions are very interactive, and tutors will lead you
in doing your own work.
- Tutors will help you to become an independent,
confident learner.
- Tutors will help you structure your work, and can help
you discover your learning style.
- Tutors can help you with your study skills.
What NOT to expect
in a tutor session:
- Tutors will not do your work for you, write, edit, or
proofread your papers, or give you answers without asking you questions.
- Tutors will not re-teach the course material. You must
attend class, do the assigned reading, and take notes to receive tutoring.
- Tutors will not be available only for study sessions
before exams. You are expected to meet with your tutor every week.
- You will respect your tutor’s time (they are students,
too!), and contact him or her ahead of time if you need to cancel or
reschedule an appointment.
