Peer Tutoring-Academic Development - Carnegie Mellon University

What is Peer Tutoring?

Peer tutoring is a program designed to assist students with their coursework and it is available in two formats, Walk-in Tutoring and Standing Tutoring Appointments.

During the fall and spring semesters, we offer subject-specific walk-in tutoring geared primarily towards large introductory courses. No appointment is necessary.

ADDITIONAL HELP FOR INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS COURSES

Most first year introductory physics courses have Course Centers. Several days a week, a student can walk in to get help in the course they are taking. The Course Center is staffed by graduate students and upper class undergraduates who can give one on one help in course topics. The Course Center also provides a setting where students can interact with one another and work in groups.

STANDING TUTORING APPOINTMENTS

If you have tried walk-in tutoring and SI, and still require more assistance, or if you need help in a course not supported by our other services, you can request a standing tutoring appointment. Read our Attendance Policy to find out how standing appointments work. Then come in to the Academic Development office in Cyert Hall, Suite B5 to fill out a Tutoring Request Form. We'll do our best to find you a tutor as quickly as possible.

Please note that standing tutoring appointments may involve small group tutoring — individual tutoring appointments are not guaranteed.
