Tutoring service at the ARC is supplemental to course instruction and offered free of charge to DKU undergraduate students. Learning Consultants, our full-time learning professionals, work in collaboration with instructors and Peer Tutors to discern how to best facilitate student learning and development.
To satisfy students’ diversified needs, tutoring service is provided in various formats, including drop-in tutoring, 1-on-1 appointment, study group, and review session. In the upcoming academic year, tutoring service is offered both on campus and online.
Please note that the tutoring formats of the courses above are subject to change due to tutor availability.
Drop-in tutoring is offered to DKU undergraduate students for a selected list of courses. Drop-in tutoring sessions are scheduled throughout the week, offering students the freedom to get support without making an appointment. Students are welcome to attend the drop-in tutoring sessions if they have questions about course content, concepts or homework questions.
The courses that have drop-in tutoring and their tutoring schedule and location are announced to students in class at the start of each Session.
Students may contact peer tutors to schedule a one-on-one tutoring session if they would like support outside of regular peer tutoring hours.
Some peer tutors may also host study groups and/or review sessions for the courses they support.
A study group typically consists of 3–6 students and meets on a weekly basis. Sessions are led by undergraduate peer tutors who have successfully completed the course. Peer tutors support students by reviewing key terms and concepts, working through practice questions, and facilitating group discussion.
In consultation with course instructors, review sessions may be offered to help students better understand homework assignments and prepare for exams. Review sessions may take the form of content review, practice or sample question review, or a combination of both.
Peer tutors who offer study groups and/or review sessions will arrange and announce the specific schedule and format at the beginning of each session.
