Peer Tutoring

Don't wait until it’s too late. If you’re struggling with a course, sign up for a peer tutor. WCTC offers this free service for specific technical-level courses. Peer tutors are students who have been successful in a particular subject and who have been recommended by faculty. Peer tutors do not teach, but instead offer valuable guidance and assistance.

Why Use a Peer Tutor?

  • You've already consulted your instructor and Academic Support and still need extra help.
  • Strengthen your knowledge of the material.
  • Learn different study skills.

Request a Peer Tutor

Become a Peer Tutor

As a peer tutor, you have the opportunity to build your self-confidence and practice listening skills, goal setting, problem-solving, interpersonal and oral communication skills, empathy and patience. You'll also strengthen your own study skills and knowledge of the material. To become a peer tutor, you must meet the following qualifications:

  • Competent completion ("A" or "B") in the course you wish to tutor
  • Instructor recommendation from the completed course
  • Availability to tutor on campus
  • Flexibility and willingness to help others
