Academic Guidance:

Course-Based Tutoring:

• Your tutor may have taken the course with a different instructor. Peer tutors receive recommendations from the faculty members who taught them, but the Tutoring Center does not guarantee that the tutor is endorsed by your current course instructor.
• The presentation of course material may vary depending on the instructor, which may affect the tutor's ability to assist you.
