Peer Tutoring
The Study’s Peer Tutoring Program provides free tutoring services to graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in Loyola. The goal of the Program is to provide students with content-based and skills-based support through a 1:1 peer model. Additionally, the Program aims to provide tutors with teaching experience, leadership opportunities, and professional development.
How do I make an appointment?

What are some ways that tutoring can provide assistance?

How should I prepare for my appointment?
Consider the following as you prepare for your tutoring sesssion:
- What is your primary goal for the session?
- Do you have all of the resources and materials that you might need during the session? (books, presentations, notes, etc.)
- How would you like to use the time during your appointment? (practice problems, review of material, discussion, etc.)
- Do you have a set of specific questions to ask your tutor? (Try to be as detailed and focused as possible).
