What is Peer Tutoring?

Updated on

Students can self-schedule with peer tutors. This service offers students a 45-minute session with an SNHU Peer Tutor for the future, and appointments can be booked once every 72 hours. If a session is unavailable for the time the student needs, they are directed to 24/7 Drop-in Tutoring as a backup.

Peer Tutors are students hired by Academic Support to help other students with course content. They focus on building skills in specific areas, such as History, Business, Math, English, and many more. Peer Tutors often have experience in the courses the learner needs help with. They offer students a judgment-free environment where they can seek support with specific course content. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • There isn't a peer tutor for every single SNHU course. However, peer tutors support learning outcomes and learning strategies that can be applied to multiple courses in a subject area on a broader scale. 

Below is what the student will use to schedule a session with an available peer tutor or the tutor of their choice once they have clicked the link into Pre-Scheduled Support > Peer Tutoring in the drop-down menu highlighted in gold below.
