How can I become a peer tutor?

Answer

A peer tutor is someone who offers one-on-one assistance to a fellow student.

To help fellow students, peer tutors will:

  • ask questions to evaluate tutee's understanding of the subject areas
  • facilitating student learning by helping to review and clarify concepts taught in class

  • teach the course or act as a substitute for the instructor
  • be expected to have all the answers to every question
  • help with, correct or complete assignments or any work that the tutee is being graded on
