DEFINITION:
Tutoring serves college students by assisting with academic success strategies. The primary responsibilities of a tutor are to support students to become more independent learners, persist in college, and reach their goals. Tutors provide subject area knowledge and serve as a model for students in the techniques, strategies, attitudes, and beliefs that successful learners employ as they acquire new knowledge, solve problems, and complete academic tasks. Additionally, tutors provide individual and/or group tutoring to students across a broad range of courses based on their personal area of expertise.
