Tutoring
When group study sessions just aren’t enough, work with one of our trained peer tutors. Individual or small group peer tutoring is available on either a long-term or short-term basis in most 100- and 200-level courses.
Remote Tutoring Instructions
A limited amount of May Term tutoring will be offered through Google Hangouts Meet. Please complete an application and a staff member will respond within two business days about the status of your request. Please use your 1.hope.edu email to log into the sessions arranged with your tutor. See the explanation below on how to join a conference call.
Joining a Video Conference in Hangouts MeetThe Academic Success Center (ASC) provides free tutoring for groups of one to three students working with a peer tutor for the courses listed below. Tutoring is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applications for May Term tutoring will be accepted until Monday, May 18.
Tutors will provide students with a minimum of one hour of assistance weekly. Additionally, up to three hours per week are permitted if the tutor is able to accommodate these in their schedule.
Each year, more than 800 tutoring matches are made through the ASC peer tutoring service. Before seeking tutoring, we recommend that you talk with the professor of the course involved. When used appropriately, tutoring can make a significant difference in a student's overall course performance; however, it is not a replacement or substitute for communication with the professor.
