Tutor Center: Peer Tutoring

The Tutor Center offers free individual peer tutoring, in a variety of subjects, designed to assist students to increase their academic performance. Tutoring sessions focus on reviewing and explaining the content and concepts. Tutors also integrate note taking and test preparation strategies that help students attain the best results for their study time.

Individual Study and Learning Strategy Sessions are also available. Students are assisted to craft a study plan that builds effective learning habits, long-term memory and improved test taking skill.

Test preparation workshops and tutoring is available to assist students to prepare the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure.

If you are seeking help in a subject not listed please do not hesitate to request assistance anyway. We will do all we can to locate a peer tutor by requesting a peer tutor recommendations from your professor and reviewing the transcripts of our existing tutors for their eligibility to tutor an additional course.

Here is a list of subjects that we currently offer Individual Tutoring. If you do not find the subject in which you would like a Peer Tutor, please feel free to contact Tom Rousseau
