AAAC Tutoring Services
The common denominator for students who request a tutor is that they all wish to improve their learning experience.
Tutor groups function like structured study groups, with the tutor as a peer expert.
Tutors are trained at the beginning of each semester on learning styles, tutoring strategies, and modeling and encouraging problem-solving skills.
Tutors will NOT check homework or lecture; they will break down problems, clarify, discuss, explain, and show.
Tutors are required to attend tutor training meetings twice per semester. To date, the AAAC Tutor Staff exceeds 100 tutors!
Studying can be both "fun" and "effective" when students get together for active learning and practice on a routine basis.
Tutors are peer educators who are committed to helping their peers succeed academically.
Each tutor group has one qualified tutor and may have up to five students.
The Tutor Group Request Period for Spring 2012 has Expired
The last day to request a tutor group for the spring semester was Friday, March 30, 2012. If you need tutoring assistance for a course yet this semester, be sure to check with your academic department. We encourage students to pre-register for tutor groups prior to the start of each semester/term.
Pre-Registration is Now Open for Summer 2012 and Fall 2012
What is Pre-Registration? Pre-Registration does not formally commit you to any tutor group,
nor does it ensure that you will be placed in a particular tutor group. By pre-registering, you
give yourself the advantage of a 48-hour head start for requesting specific tutor groups ahead
of the rest of campus. Students are placed in tutor groups on a first come, first serve, by
schedule basis. Students, who pre-register, will receive an email from our office as soon as
we are ready to begin placing students in groups, shortly after the start of the fall semester.
By pre-registering, you give yourself the advantage of selecting a group before the majority of groups fill up.
