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

Tutoring is available by request. Check back here in the beginning of the Fall 2025 semester to request a tutor! Please anticipate at least three weeks before a tutor might be matched with you and make your request in a timely manner.

Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction is often provided if you are enrolled in a 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.

I want 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
B+ or higher in the class you wish to lead

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