What are Peer Tutors and Success Coaches?
Peer Tutors (Learning Coaches)
Peer tutors (Learning Coaches) help students understand difficult course concepts by sharing discipline specific learning strategies in content-specific peer tutoring sessions.
Please Note: We try to help students in any way we can! Due to our volume of requests and limitations on tutors, we cannot guarantee that every student that submits a request will be matched with a tutor. When we receive a tutoring request for a course we do not have a tutor in, we collaborate with faculty and other campus partners to support the student.
Peer Success Coaches
Peer Success Coaches (PSCs) mentor students who wish to develop collegiate-level academic and social engagement skills. They meet and gather with students in one-on-one and small group settings
Peer Success Coaches can help students with:
- Adjusting to college
- Getting organized
- Setting goals
- Building confidence
- Staying motivated
- Time management
- Study skills
Peer Success Coaches are available to provide support and guidance to first- and second-year students as you navigate the college experience. (Juniors and seniors seeking PSC services are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.)
Group Tutoring and Coaching
The Center for Student Success also offers group tutoring and coaching sessions available to students throughout the semester!
Peer Learning Groups (PLuGs)
Some of the Center for Student Success Peer Tutors lead "PLuGs" which are peer learning groups that allow for drop-in tutoring on specific courses or subjects. Sign up ahead of time or drop-in as needed!
Success Study Sessions
Success Study Sessions offer a designated time and space to learn new study strategies and tips from peers, complete assignments, and study for upcoming exams! Stay up to date with when Success Study Sessions will be held by visiting the Center for Student Success web page.
