What is Peer Tutoring?
Toggle More Info
- Peer tutors are students just like you who have successfully taken the class and want to help you be successful in it as well!
- Peer tutors are highly qualified and trained to support you. They will be interactive with you in the sessions:
- - asking questions to have you think through concepts and processes
  - having you practice problems and concepts
  - guiding you to resources for additional support.
- The FGCU Academic Policy prohibits tutors from assisting students in the completion of homework or any graded material.
- - Complete your homework/assignments in advance of the session.
  - Bring questions, previously graded work, class notes, textbooks, and any other materials needed for the course.
Appointment Information
