Successful students in the nursing program know that early, proactive use of tutoring is a key to academic success. Tutoring can help you strengthen your understanding and fill in knowledge gaps while you’re learning—not just before exams.

• Tutoring is not re-teaching. Tutors are trained to:

  • Answer content-specific questions

  • Share strategies that worked for them in the course

  • Help you think critically and independently

  • Tutors are not able to review exams with students. For exam review questions, students should schedule an appointment with their professor.

• Tutoring session guidelines:

  • Each session lasts one hour

  • Students may schedule one peer or alumni session every 7 days

  • You may attend unlimited drop-in tutoring hours

• Alumni Drop-in sessions:

  • Best for quick questions or clarification

  • No appointment needed

  • Open to all students on a first come, first served basis.

  • Offered online only

Make the most of your learning experience—start using tutoring early and consistently!
