Peer Tutoring

Currently enrolled students are eligible for tutoring services. The maximum number of peer tutoring hours a tutee can receive is 2 hours per week for one subject or 3 hours per week for two or more subjects. Before applying, we ask that you:

• Attend classes regularly
• Access other means of assistance (i.e. tutorials offered by the Professor, help sessions offered at the Tutoring Office)
• Discuss your difficulties with your professor

If you have taken all these steps and still want a tutor, please apply below.

If you have any questions, or need assistance completing the application, please contact tutoring@confederationcollege.ca or call the Tutoring Office at (807) 473-3894.

Peer Tutors are students who provide tutoring help to their peers. Peer Tutors earn extra money while they improve their own communication skills and build their resume.

Tutors Must:

• Have an A in the subject
• Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
• Have knowledge of the subject content and the ability to communicate the same
• Be punctual and responsible
• Be willing to participate in a brief orientation on tutoring procedures with the Tutoring Office

To apply to become a Peer Tutor, please complete this webform.

Peer Tutoring is offered as a support service and not as a substitute for regular classroom instruction. Students who receive tutoring services (tutees) are allowed a maximum of three hours of tutoring a week.

If you would like to explore tutoring options for your students or discuss a specific situation, please reach out to the Tutoring Officer at tutoring@confederationcollege.ca, phone extension 3894, or by booking an appointment here(opens in new window).

If you are already discussing the need for a tutor with your student, please ask them to complete the Peer Tutee Application Form.
