The Learning Center offers individualized assistance through peer tutoring in specific subjects through the Learning Commons. Peer tutors must have received either an A or an A- in a particular course before they are allowed to tutor in that subject. They are trained to provide individualized instruction and help others understand the material. We do not provide tutoring in any graduate courses.
