Peer Tutoring

The Study’s Peer Tutoring Program provides free tutoring services to graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in Loyola. The goal of the Program is to provide students with content-based and skills-based support through a 1:1 peer model. Additionally, the Program aims to provide tutors with teaching experience, leadership opportunities, and professional development. 

How do I make an appointment?
  1. Access our online scheduling program WC Online. You should use your Loyola credentials. The first time you access, you will be asked to register. 
  2. You will then select the subject area in which you need a tutor (Bio/Chem, Business, etc.).
  3. Select the "Show  All 'Course' Options" dropdown, and select the course you need help with. If you do not see the course you need help with, please email Andrea (athletes) or Mrs. LePore (all others) and we will find you a tutor.
  4. Review the schedule; the white boxes are what is available. When you find a time that works you click on the box and the scheduling screen will pop up. 
  5. Select if you want face-to-face or online, and then fill in all the required boxes (course, instructor, what you want to work on, course*), and then click create appointment. *The second course selection ensures you have selected a tutor who offers availability in your course. If your course is NOT listed in the dropdown, please make sure you filter the schedule by course as shown in Step 3 above.

This guide provides the steps with pictures.

What are some ways that tutoring can provide assistance? 
  • Reviewing concepts already covered in your classes
  • Completing practice exercises that will NOT be submitted for a grade
  • Creating study guides for tests and quizzes
  • Exploring new content-based strategies 
  • Preparing for assessments (a tutor is an excellent study partner) 
  • Identifying additional resources and support
How should I prepare for my appointment? 

Consider the following as you prepare for your tutoring sesssion:

  • What is your primary goal for the session?
  • Do you have all of the resources and materials that you might need during the session? (books, presentations, notes, etc.)
  • How would you like to use the time during your appointment? (practice problems, review of material, discussion, etc.)
  • Do you have a set of specific questions to ask your tutor? (Try to be as detailed and focused as possible).  
What subjects are available for Peer Tutoring? 

It varies by concentration, but we try our best to provide support across all areas of study. If you are having trouble locating a tutor for a specific course, please email The Study. 

I am a graduate student, may I access tutoring?
