Before filling out the Tutor Request Form, please read through the following expectations for students interested in receiving tutoring.

  • Expectations for working with a tutor
    • Tutoring is a supplement to other class resources; it is not a substitute for attending class, TA sessions, or the professor’s office hours
    • Tutors do not do students' homework
      • Tutors help students understand the concepts behind problems, and/or the process of solving problems
      • Peer tutors may not assist students with work on take-home exams or problem sets
    • As a result of meeting with a tutor, you should expect to:
      • Continue to work with professors, TAs, and other campus resources
      • Work hard
      • Improve your skills and understanding of class material
      • Increase your comfort level with course material
    • As a result of meeting with a tutor, you should not expect:
      • A sudden improvement in your GPA
      • An answer to everything in the class
      • A homework solving session – be prepared with specific questions!
    • If you are experiencing problems that your tutor is unable to address, please contact the Deans’ Peer Tutoring Program
  • Expectations for tutoring sessions
    • Commit to attend all scheduled meetings:
      • Be prepared with specific questions for the tutor to address
      • Have all relevant materials nearby and ready (such as books, syllabus, notes, etc.)
      • Be on time for every session; if you must cancel a session, give as much advance notice as possible (preferably 24 hours)
      • Set clear goals at the beginning of each session
      • At the end of each session, review what you learned, clarify your next steps and study goals, and confirm the next meeting
    • Tutors and tutees must maintain academic integrity
      • Tutors will not solve homework problems directly; they will focus on course concepts and problem solving methods
      • Peer tutors may not assist with problems on take-home exams or problem sets
      • Ask your instructor how to indicate your work with a tutor
      • Improper assistance is a violation of the Honor Code; for more information on the Honor Code, refer to the Student Handbook or speak with your class dean

Steps for Requesting a Peer Tutor

  • Look into other resources first!
    • Meet with your faculty through their office hours for assistance with any course related material
    • If there is a TA for your course, contact and seek help from them as well
    • If there is a drop-in tutoring resource available for your course, try that too!
  • Discuss your request for a tutor with your course instructor in order to clarify which specific areas you need help with, and how a tutor can be most helpful. In some courses, your request cannot be considered without a faculty's referral - they can refer you by emailing deans_peer_tutoring@wesleyan.edu
