Embedded Tutoring

Offered In Fall & Spring

The Embedded Tutoring program focuses on using peer tutors to collaborate with faculty and students inside and outside the classroom. They provide more individualized attention and assistance during class activities and help facilitate tutoring sessions outside of the classroom.

Embedded tutoring sessions are open to all students in the course and are attended in SSTC on a voluntary basis FREE of charge. For you the student, it’s a chance to get together with people in your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and test yourselves before your professor does, so that when he/she does, you’ll be ready. At each session you will be guided through this material by your Embedded Tutor, a competent student who has previously taken the course.

Embedded Tutors are students themselves and are prepared to share with you what they have learned over the years about how to study. They know the course content and are anxious to help guide you through it. They’ll be in class with you every day, hearing what you hear and reading what you read. What they won’t do is lecture; their job is to help you think about the lectures you hear and the books you read, and then put it in perspective during ET review sessions so you can learn it more efficiently.
