Peer Tutoring Program

Academic Success Center peer tutors provide academic support to Winthrop students through hour-long, recurring, weekly tutoring appointments (one-on-one or small group). Tutoring services are offered during fall and spring semesters. Peer tutors are hired to help students with many courses on campus, primarily at the 100 and 200 level. The peer tutors are recommended by faculty and participate in training sponsored by the ASC.
