Peer Tutors: Creating Success

No matter what you're studying—agriculture to apprenticeship, firefighting to university transfer—you are eligible for tutoring help.

Lakeland's program matches students who ask for help with an experienced student (who has completed the course) or a classmate. Tutoring can be one-on-one, or can be part of a larger session for a specific subject such as math.

If you need a tutor, this service is free. Learn more about how to get a peer tutor.

If you are a tutor, you'll be paid. You'll benefit from training, building your resume and helping a classmate. Learn more about how to be a peer tutor.

Group tutoring

Some courses just seem to require extra help.

Group tutorials are often arranged for botany, mapping, chemistry, math and accounting. Sometimes they start at the beginning of the semester. Sometimes the first round of exams exposes a need for group tutoring.
