TRiO Student Support Services offers free peer tutoring to all TRiO eligible students. TRiO Peer Tutors are trained through College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) guidelines and tutor small groups of up to 4 tutees. All tutoring groups are made up of tutees from the same class and section.

Tutoring is offered to help students improve their class grades and to become active, independent learners. Study skills are emphasized while the tutors help tutees with their class material.

Tutoring Rules

• Tutees are required to meet with their tutors at least once a week.
    
• Tutees may be assigned to a small group tutoring session of up to 4 students, all of whom are in the same section of the course, if schedules permit.
    
• Tutees are required to contact their tutors if the cannot make their scheduled session at least 12 hours in advance.
    
• Tutees are allowed to miss two sessions. At the third missed session, the tutees will be required to meet with the Tutor Coordinator to determine if tutoring for that class will continue.
    
• Tutoring is not a substitute for attending class lectures, labs, or review sessions. Tutees are required to attend all classes!
    
• Tutees are required to check their DWU email account and mailboxes regularly to receive updates from their tutor and the Tutor Coordinator.
    
• Tutees are required to be prepared for every tutoring session. This includes bringing all notes, the text, handouts, and homework assigned by the tutor to each tutoring session. Tutors reserve the right to ask any unprepared student to leave the session.
    
• Tutors will not complete a tutee’s homework assignment for them, so please attend each session with homework already attempted. This will let the tutor know in which direction to take the tutoring session.

*If a tutoring session must be rescheduled, the tutee or tutor must contact the other via exchanged contact information or contact Tutor Coordinator, Amanda Welch at 995-2904.
