Supplemental Instruction
Group study sessions where students can review course concepts, ask questions, go over practice problems and work together with a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader and their peers. SI Leaders attend the same class sessions as the students attending SI sessions and share successful study and exam preparation skills.
Peer Tutoring
Peer tutors are fellow students who have been successful in the classes they tutor and are recommended by their professors. All tutors undergo observation and additional training to support student learning needs. Whether trying to improve a grade or maintain a high GPA, tutoring and supplemental instruction are for all students!
Peer Tutoring Benefits
- Many students see improvement in course understanding and test scores

- Student have a greater understanding of the course material
- Tutors use active learning, so students are practicing concepts to deepen their understanding.
Supplemental Instruction Benefits

- Non-lecture based learning (content and skills integration)
- Students develop better study habits
- Students gain a better understanding of course content
