The Peer Tutor/Coach Program
Welcome to the Peer Tutor Program. The Peer Tutor/Coach Program encompasses three levels of support: The Peer Tutor, The Academic Coach, and The Course Assistant Programs.
Looking for a tutor/coach? Are you a student who is
- seeking assistance with course content, material and assignments?

The Peer Tutor Program provides tutoring and coaching services, complementing the already available university resources, to those students needing additional assistance with their studies and/or needing guidance, encouragement and/or skill development. A trained peer tutor and/or academic coach will be assigned based on the details of the student's request.
