Peer Tutoring
Our tutoring services are offered in two formats:
| Date | Information |
|---|---|
| Thursday, April 28th | Last day of Drop-In Tutoring |
| Friday, April 29th | Last Day of 1-on-1/Small Group Tutoring |
| Monday, May 9th | Last Day of Finals |
Note: 1-on-1/Small Group Tutoring may continue through Reading Days and Finals based on peer mentor availability.
Our program has level II certification by the College Reading and Learning Association's International Tutor Training Program.
Drop-in Tutoring
Drop-In tutoring targets our highest demand courses through regularly scheduled open tutoring sessions during the fall and spring semesters. You are not required to commit to regular attendance and you can come as needed throughout the semester. You can utilize Drop-In Tutoring to discuss course related content, clarify and ask questions, work through practice problems, and stay and do work.
The peer learning support staff consists of tutors, academic coaches, and supplemental instruction leaders who are both undergraduate as well as graduate students. We are all concerned about our health as a community of learners, and therefore, during the coaching, tutoring, and SI sessions, we request that any student with fever, cough, or any respiratory symptoms stay at home. Please do not attend the session and place others in jeopardy. Instead, call UHS at 412 268- 2157 for consultations, and return to any of these sessions when you are feeling better and your health has improved.
Note: The location for 21-256 drop-in has changed. Please refer to the table below.
