One-on-one Support
Students can book one-on-one appointments in a variety of subject areas with either an academic subject specialist or a peer tutor. Academic subject specialists possess a master’s or professional degree in their area of expertise. Peer tutors are upper year students who have achieved an A in the courses they tutor.
- Appointments are typically 45 minutes long.
- Come prepared with specific questions about the content and concepts of concern. You are encouraged to bring homework, rubrics for assignments, and other materials relevant to the content you are looking to review.
- View a list of peer tutor courses.
- View the appointment calendars on the Student Life Portal.
Please note that written works will not be proofread during one-on-one sessions. Writing Specialists and Peer Writing Tutors teach editing skills by helping students develop their writing skills.
Appointment Booking Guidelines
Appointments should be made in advance, especially during peak times (a few weeks prior and leading up to midterms and final exams). However, the Student Learning Centre offers drop-in study sessions through our learning communities: Math Study Hall, Physics Space, Chem Corner, Writing Room and Peer Assisted Study Sessions for select courses.
Visit the Student Life Portal to book an appointment.
Please provide 24 hours’ notice to cancel an appointment. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice:
- Will be counted as a no-show.
- After three no-shows, a student may be barred from accessing the service for the remainder of the semester.
- Will result in one session taken off the semester total (12 appointments per calendar each semester).
