Peer Tutoring is a service designed to provide student peer-to-peer content tutoring via Zoom with all CSD subjects and writing. Our peer tutors are WARC employees who attend both the residential and online modalities of our graduate program in CSD. Tutoring is available to all CSD students - undergraduates and graduates enrolled in the on-ground and on-line modalities.
A Peer Tutor is a coach or study buddy -- your facilitator or professor is always the best source of guidance for a specific class.
Come prepared with any notes, books, study guides, assignments or other materials that would be needed for the session.
These sessions are meant to be highly participatory! Come with questions, concerns, camera/mic on and ready to dive in.
Peer Tutors are Emerson student employees and are compensated for each session by the College. There is no additional cost to the student utilizing the service.
Note: If you're connecting with the Peer Tutors for academic support, you might also be interested in connecting with a Student Ambassador for non-academic support and relationship building. Check out the Student Ambassador Program Here.
The best way to get in touch with a peer tutor is to select a pre-existing spot in their calendar. If none of the available times work for you, fill out the interest form and we will match you up.
