Our peer tutors are current SOU students, specializing in Math, Science, and Writing general topics, with specific subject and class expertise varying by term and tutor.

 

Tutors cannot do your work for you, but can provide guidance to help you be successful: by answering questions and providing feedback, assisting with understanding concepts, sharing time-management and planning techniques, and offering tips to improve your writing abilities for any class.

 

Students can make an appointment for 30 or 60 minute sessions either in person or on Zoom (or drop-in per tutor availability). Tutoring sessions can be individual or in small groups when applicable.
