Peer Tutoring
Wesleyan students seeking help with a particular class can receive free tutoring from fellow students who have already done well in that same course. The experience benefits the tutors as well.
Students Helping Students
The Deans’ Peer Tutoring program employs qualified students to conduct small group tutoring sessions for fellow students to supplement course instruction. The groups are made up of an average of three students who have submitted a request to the program.
The small group attention as well as the tutors’ unique perspective of having already been through the course themselves has proven to be a successful formula for those in need of additional support. Tutors come away with a unique understanding of how others might learn and process information differently from themselves. This win-win situation exemplifies some of Wesleyan’s core education and experience philosophies.
