Peer Tutoring at ESF
Academic Success Center | 109 Moon Library | 470-4919

Tutoring is one of the many academic support programs available to you at ESF. Through the program, the service of a qualified undergraduate or graduate tutor may be available to any ESF student who feels a need for academic support in meeting the demands of ESF courses in which he/she is currently enrolled. Our focus is on lower division undergraduate courses. Requests for tutoring in specialized courses will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Tutor at workThe program has two different types of assistance:

  • Individual/small-group tutoring—In individual/small-group tutoring, up to four students meet with a tutor for a two-hour block of time each week to go over course material. These sessions can help students gain self-confidence and become independent learners, as well as grasp specific subject matter.
  • Large-group tutoring—Large-group tutoring is offered in Botany (fall), Zoology (spring), General Chemistry (fall/spring), Calculus (fall/spring), and English as a Second Language (fall/spring). In large group tutoring, a tutor is available on a weekday night for two hours and students may drop in to get assistance. These sessions allow participants to receive immediate help with an assignment, clarification of lecture materials, or to ask a quick question.
