Departmental Tutoring Schedule

We are dedicated to helping our students obtain quality tutoring for the majority of undergraduate courses. Individual tutoring, as well as small group tutoring consisting of 2-4 students per group, is available each semester in many undergraduate courses.

Tutors, hired for both their knowledge and ability to communicate, work with students to identify problem areas and misconceptions about the course material, provide frequent feedback, and work towards creating self-motivated, independent students. Tutoring staff and scheduling is managed within each academic department. If you have questions or concerns about the schedule, please contact the academic department.

Knack Peer Tutoring & Mentoring is also available for online or in-person appointments.
