Peer Tutoring in Science
 Tutoring in science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) is available through the Center for Academic Services. A special area has been dedicated to peer tutoring and quiet study at the top of the Grand Staircase on the second floor of the Hiering Science Building.

Peer Tutors
Peer Tutoring really boils down to one student helping another. Peer tutoring is a powerful force that could bring about dramatic and lasting change in students’ learning attitudes. The close, friendly interaction among peers helps convey to the students a willingness to try new things and to gain new learning experiences that enhance learning beyond the conventional instructor-student mode in the classroom. Someone who is a friend or peer is able to figure out a unique way to help you understand a difficult concept. It is an additional resource that sometimes makes the difference between an "A" and a "B" or even passing versus failing. Learning is multidimensional! We really do learn from each other and not just from our instructors.
 Those who do the tutoring find it to be an incredibly rewarding experience (in addition to getting a little extra money in their pocket). Research shows that students who do the tutoring vastly improve their knowledge of the subject. It is also a very positive activity to include on your next college, graduate school or employment application. The Dean of Health Sciences, Human Performance, Science and Engineering will be happy to write a letter of recommendation for those who take the time to help their fellow students.
It is a free service, so why not take the extra step to assure success?
