Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction

Tutoring

Tutoring is a free university service available to you if you need assistance in 100-300 level courses. You'll meet with tutors one-on-one and get the extra help you need in your class. If you did well in a class and are looking for an opportunity to help other students, you can also apply to become a tutor (see below).

Tutoring requests

We are no longer accepting tutoring requests for the Spring 2025 semester. Check back here in the beginning of the Fall 2025 semester to request a tutor!

    Supplemental Instruction

    Supplemental Instruction is often provided if you are enrolled in a historically challenging class. Supplemental Instruction (SI) includes a series of review sessions, led by an SI leader, who prepares a review from each lecture the instructor gives. If you did well in a class and are looking for an opportunity to help other students, you can also apply to become an SI leader.

    If you want to become an SI Leader, application cycles take place two times per academic year.*

    Position Requirements:

    • 2nd year student
    • GPA 3.5 and above

      Please note that a referral form is required and you will need to send the form to the instructor you select as a reference.
