Please follow the steps below to request a peer tutor. Remember, the more information you provide, the easier it will be for us to try to find a peer tutor. Additionally, students should also discuss their course issues or difficulties with their instructor to ensure peer tutoring will be a beneficial resource. Some course issues may be resolved after a quick conversation with the course instructor. You can find more information about the Peer Tutor Program in the Tutee FAQs.
