About

Our Vision:

• We believe that students helping students is important, meaningful, and valuable for both visitors and tutors.

• We make academic help available, convenient, and relatable for students, but we do not replace classroom teachers.

• We create a central gathering place for students who need academic help and students who can offer help. In this space, we:

• ask questions to prompt our peers to talk about their work

• listen to our peers describe their work

• offer feedback in response to our peers’ questions and concerns about their work

• discuss ideas, plans, and strategies for working at any stage of an assignment

• provide a focusing presence for students who need more structure

• empower students to succeed on their own work

We do not:

• turn away anyone who needs help

• tutor silently

• do our peers’ work for them or give them the answers

• tell our peers what grade we think they will get

• determine our peers’ college acceptances

• play games, watch videos, or sleep
