Peer Tutoring

Peer Tutoring is an academic support service connected to Gardner-Webb University’s Student Success Division. Peer tutoring is a course-specific tutoring service to contribute to the tutors’ and tutees’ personal development and academic success. Peer Tutoring offers tutoring assistance to all general education courses as well as most major courses. Peer Tutoring is one of the many student resources Gardner-Webb University offers undergraduate students in need of academic assistance.

Peer tutoring provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to schedule an individual tutoring appointment with a peer tutor who has previously excelled or is currently excelling in the requested course. During the student’s tutoring session, the tutee will receive individual attention in a supportive environment in which he or she has the opportunity to discuss course-specific concepts, review course-specific material, and/or prepare for a course-specific exam or presentation. Peer tutoring is a free service.

Peer tutoring is open to student input and needs as we seek to provide the best tutoring services possible. Our policies and responsibilities are developed to benefit the student-learning process.
